Pirates of the Caribbean Magic Kingdom is one stop you have to make.
We've spent a lot of time at Disney World as we live just 90 minutes away, and have even made a trip to California where one of the highlights for me was meeting the Evil Queen of Disneyland.
On one of our trips to Disney World we were walking by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and realized the show was just starting.
I've seen the show before, and the Jack Sparrow character looked so much like Johnny Depp that I could have sworn he was visiting Disney for the day.
I thought there was no way the character could be as good this time. I was wrong. Amazing. And really good looking, too. Just sayin'.
The kids will love this as it's very interactive. Push them a little to get involved as it's a great photo opp!
Jack Sparrow will ask for volunteers and teach them how to be a swashbuckling pirate, training them to get away from pursuers, just like he manages to do in the movie.
It's a fun time. Check the guide for performance times. The show isn't very long, but definitely a must see.
After you enjoy the show, go over and check out the nine-minute Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
It's a slow boat ride with only a couple of little dips. You'll see skeletons of pirates and mermaids when you first begin the ride.
Next you will go through a fight between ships where cannon balls seem to fall into the water lightly splashing some of the riders.
I've only been sprinkled, but I guess it depends on where you are sitting.
Watch for Captain Jack Sparrow as he will peek out of a barrel, from behind a mannequin.
This is a must see, in my opinion and you'd swear Johnny Depp was visiting for the day! You'll see him with again all his booty at the ride's conclusion.
You can knock this off your Disney World Bucket list in no time and there is usually not a crazy long line. Let me know if you go and what you thought of the ride and the show!

Wow, sounds amazing! We are at Disney right now. We have to make a plan to go to Disney Land though. And check out that Jack!

I had no idea they had a pirate-training show at Disney. That looks and sounds like it would be so much fun for the kids!
