@WaltDisneyWorld! This will be a first-of-its-kind experience extending the story of Pirates of the Caribbean. ?☠️ #DestinationD23," Disney shared.
Although there have not been many details released, Disney World describes the attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean, as:
Board a weathered barge for a treacherous voyage to the 17th century, when rowdy rogues and ruthless rapscallions ransacked Caribbean seaport towns. Sing along as pirates serenade you with their anthem, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me).”
Sail past haunted Dead Man’s Cove. Navigate cannon fire between a Caribbean fort and a striking 12-gun galleon. Behold boisterous buccaneers drunk on the spoils of plunderin’ as flames engulf a seaside town.
Be sure to keep a spry eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow, from The Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Ye beware, mateys: Dead men tell no tales!
More details will be shared by the company in the coming months.
Other Projects To Look Forward To At The Disney Parks
Disney Imagineers are working on putting the final touches on Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana which will open at EPCOT in Disney World later this year. The company has referred to Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana as a “lush exploration trail” which will allow Guests to “play with magical, living water.”
Disney World also announced new character meet and greets coming to the Parks, including Moana, Mirabel from “Encanto”, and Figment, from EPCOT’s iconic attraction, Journey Into Imagination with Figment, all debuting sometime this year.
Over at Hong Kong Disneyland, Arendelle: World of Frozen is set to open up its gates later this year, allowing Guests to see fan-favorite characters from the film and ride “Frozen”-themed attractions, including Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs roller coaster — a ride that will take Guests on a journey through Arendelle after they pay a visit to Oaken’s famous store.
“The entire themed land is a recreation of the kingdom of Arendelle drawing upon the natural landscape of Lantau Mountain behind Hong Kong Disneyland as a backdrop,” Disney shared of the new land, which will open on November 20. “In creating World of Frozen, we have the vision of making this land a living and authentic Arendelle where guests can step into the cinematic scenes from the ‘Frozen’ movies. We recreated iconic landmarks of Arendelle that will instantly resonate with the fans of ‘Frozen’ and all guests alike.”
