Pirates of Caribbean Ride at Disney World has long been a fan favorite, delighting guests as they float past an elaborate grotto filled with skulls and skeletons.

This ride features a burning town with tipsy pirates singing. Recently, several changes were implemented into this ride; most notably by adding Captain Jack Sparrow into the scene.

Pirates of Caribbean Ride Disney

 1. The Grotto Pirates of Caribbean

There are few Disney attractions with as longstanding appeal as Pirates of the Caribbean, first debuting in Disneyland over fifty years ago and remaining just as iconic ever since. Packed with breathtaking visuals and full of hidden details that celebrate piracy history, it has remained an unforgettable ride ever since its introduction.

Attraction of Dead Man’s Cove stands out with its mesmerising grotto. This dark, haunting cavern brings history alive through skeletons surrounding an empty treasure chest, an imprisoned skull propped against a ship wheel and even a skeletal captain reading his diary as wine trickles from his cup! Additionally, this impressive space houses ornately furnished pirate captain private quarters from where you can hear instrumental versions of Yo Ho.

As well as the skeletons, there are additional visual effects that add to the creepy ambience of the grotto. Recently, mermaids inhabiting Dead Man’s Cove were added – as an homage to Blackbeard (who featured prominently from 2012-2018 in this ride), yet unfortunately have since vanished from this section of the attraction.

Another spectacular effect to be found within the Grotto is Imagineer Yale Gracey’s Burning Town scene, created as part of his breathtaking fireworks spectaculars. Not just fire but real steam rising from below ground creating an absolutely spectacular sight!

There have been other aspects of the attraction which have caused much debate over time, aside from its main feature. One scene which depicted male pirates pursuing women through the streets was altered so as to show them searching for items rather than people.

2. The Battle

As part of your ride, you pass by a fiery moat before entering a burning port town where pirates can be seen pillaging. After crossing over an enormous waterfall created by cannonball blasting, water levels drop dramatically before sailing over it again causing it to sail over an enormous waterfall created by cannonball explosion. At some point during your voyage, pirates fire their weapons at a fort as they fight against soldiers for control of an island.

At the top of the fort, guests can observe flames engulfing its walls. A scene depicting sword-fighting men duking it out for a woman while cannon fire explodes around them is inspired by the Battle of New Orleans; moreover, an authentic 31-star version of the US flag flies above to reflect Louisiana and New Orleans during that era.

As part of their 2018 refurbishment project, Disney Imagineers made some notable modifications to a popular scene from the attraction. A redheaded animatronic once sold as bride at auction now runs the show as Redd, an antagonistic female pirate character. Some were disappointed at this move which appeared to tamp down real-world piracy by Disney Imagineers.

After sailing to an underground armory and arsenal, where drunken pirates take aim at boats, barrels of gunpowder, each other and each other with firearms soaked with alcohol. You pass an empty jail cell where Jack Sparrow is relaxing over an enormous throne-like chair drinking rum while singing his signature “Yo Ho!” song.

Blackbeard and Davy Jones issue one last warning as your boat sails through Dead Man’s Grotto, taunting guests as they approach their boat and pass by their shadows on the wall. Paul Frees narrates this section of the attraction which also stars some of his ride characters who also voiced The Haunted Mansion Ghost Host!

3. The Treasure

Walt Disney and his Imagineers collaborated on creating an exhilarating ride that transports visitors back in time to an age when pirates ruled the Seven Seas. Cutting-edge special effects and beloved characters such as Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbossa, Davy Jones and Blackbeard seamlessly integrated into its narrative are hallmarks of quality theme park rides.

This ride begins with an exhilarating plunge into an underground grotto, complete with its chilling moonlight and dark stone walls that add an unnerving atmosphere as guests spot skeletons of pirates guarding their loot with macabre relish.

Although the scene appears dire, this moment in the attraction is one of its most hilarious ones. Pirates are typically depicted as drunk– and these particular buccaneers are no exception! In fact, they appear so disoriented they don’t even realize their town is burning down!

Disney has updated this attraction numerous times over time in order to stay current with the film franchise, most recently adding Audio-Animatronics of Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbossa and Davy Jones as well as revamping its auction scene with more pirate booty!

Some may argue that these changes have reduced the thrill and excitement of the original ride, but I disagree – instead they have added to its excitement and fun! After all, this ride remains an exhilarating journey which inspired a major film series and provides a bridge between classic Disney and contemporary pop culture.

4. The Burning Town

Through floating through a cave and descending a quick and dark plunge, passengers are transported back into 17th century Caribbean port towns when devilish pirates terrorized them. Sailing past haunted Dead Man’s Cove and cannon fire between Caribbean fort and Hector Barbossa’s 12-gun galleon capture their imagination; guests also see him and other pirates stealing treasure from one another!

As their boats glide into an underground arsenal and armory in town, weapons, cannonballs, and barrels of gunpowder fill the room. Creaks reverberate from above while drunken pirates seem oblivious to any danger in their vicinity as they take potshots at one another while taking aim at boats, flaming pillars, and each other with great joy.

Pirates merrily sing “A Pirate’s Life for Me” while collecting loot in the fiery seaside village scene, one of the ride’s most realistic scenes with flame effects so realistic that a fire crew performing pre-opening inspection thought they were real! These effects were created by famed Disney Imagineer Yale Gracey whose talents also can be found at Haunted Mansion and Main Street USA at Magic Kingdom.

Just before Guests head back up the lift hill and toward exiting, they pass through one last scene featuring Captain Jack Sparrow sitting comfortably amidst heaps of treasure – an addition made later during its life cycle. In this scene, they can also spot an exclusive crest in the doorway featuring Marco Daviso’s name that provides an indirect nod to this artist who created so many of the ride’s animated characters and iconic attractions.

5. The Auction

Walt Disney himself found discomfort with one of Disney’s most beloved rides depicting pirates auctioning women off as brides; later this scene was altered to show an alternative outcome.

Disney was quick to defend this change as necessary to stay current. They stated that their goal with the auction scene was to reflect piratical culture as seen in Dead Men Tell No Tales film.

Additionally to the red-haired pirate (formerly a wench for sale), now there are also locals offering goods and valuables to the pirates for purchase. Redd, an intimidating female pirate now overseeing this action can also be seen here.

Recasting the wench auction has caused great debate, yet other changes have occurred without as much outrage – for instance a talking skull character was added prior to drop in 2017 and an animatronic Johnny Depp appeared as Captain Jack Sparrow during a promotion for his movie.

The new narrator also uses more menacing tones, and pirates use words from movies. But the original narrator remains part of the ride too; in fact, as soon as you enter you’ll hear him warn of cursed treasure and greedy pirates! His voice actor Paul Frees was also responsible for many other pirate roles on The Haunted Mansion ride and as ghost host in that attraction!
