In an unusual move, Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Pirates of the Caribbean attraction updates and changes are being documented on an official Disney web site.
The changes to the attractions, including the addition of Audio-Animatronic versions of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow and Geoffrey Rush's Captain Barbossa, have been the subject of much speculation, debate and strong opinion among fans of the ride. It is hoped that the new site will help to reassure the attraction's fan base while building excitement for the unveiling of the attractions this summer.
Click here to visit the official site and check back often to keep up on the latest as the beloved attractions undergo their transformations. The Disneyland attraction is scheduled to open in late June, and its Walt Disney World sibling will reopen in July.
