About this ride

The original and quintessential Disney dark ride. Drift through moonlit bayous and into a town under siege by swashbuckling pirates. Features stunning Audio-Animatronics, iconic scenes, two small drops, and the beloved 'Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)' soundtrack. This is the ride that Walt Disney himself oversaw, and it remains a masterpiece of immersive storytelling decades later.
