Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most beloved attractions in Disney Parks history! It was original I.P. at its finest and spawned a billion $ film franchise. But did you know just how predictable this attraction was for Disney? Talks of a pirate ride attraction began as early as 1957 before being realized a decade later just weeks after Walt Disney died. Hear how much pirates being in our culture before this ride made it a logical attraction. In this episode, we explore the detailed history of these rides and explore ride up to when you board your boat to adventure. We ran out of time and wanted to do this one the justice it deserves so, un-ironically and unintentionally, this will be a 2 part episode.

Enjoy Part 1 today!
