"Dead men tell no tales . . ." When I first heard that Disney World was going to modify the classic Magic Kingdom ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, by adding Captain Jack Sparrow, I really thought they would ruin one of my favorite Disney attractions. However, last week I checked out the "new, improved" Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time and the latest additions weren't too intrusive or damaging to the original spirit of the ride. I viewed Jack Sparrow just three times during the ride (I might have missed something). He seems to be trying to avoid capture in the first instance, he's hiding in a barrel during the second and in the final scene he's chilling out surrounded by a ton of treasure. In addition, Davy Jones himself can be seen in an awesome apparition near the beginning of the ride and Barbossa shows up during the sea battle scene. I believe I read where Disney also made some changes to the sound and lighting but I never really notice those types of subtle changes anyway. All in all, Pirates of the Caribbean remains one of the best attractions at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Don't miss it!
