The Pirates of the Caribbean
The Pirates of the Caribbean is an
attraction that marvels the imagination,
with hidden treasure, cannon fire, and
salty pirates. The attraction was initially
planned as a basement walk-through
called “Pirates Wax Museum”. In 1961
construction began . Lost to Disneyland
history was The Chicken Plantation
restaurant and Magnolia Park. Magnolia
Park was a shady quiet area between the
Rivers of America and the Jungle Cruse.
The heart of the park was an ornate
bandstand that was originally in Town-
Square. It was not long before all
construction was stopped so Walt could
concentrate on the 1964-1965 New York
Worlds fair. With all that Walt had
learned from The Worlds Fair, he
decided that the walk-through would be
changed to an elaborate boat adventure
that would be called The Pirates of the
Caribbean. As Walt had learned with the
Haunted Mansion, he would have to go
beyond the Berm,or the mound of earth
that surrounds Disneyland that cuts off
all visuals of the area around the park.
The attraction would consist of two
buildings three leaves with a ceiling
height of 40 feet. Inside this massive
structure would be 66 pirates and
villagers, 57 animals and birds and a
pirate ship. The true genius of Walt’s
creativity was how to get the guests
outside the Berm without the guests
knowing it. The solution was two very
exciting waterfalls. The round trip
would take about 15 minutes and can
move 3,400 guests per hour. Sadly Walt
passed away before the attraction's
completion. On March 18, 1967 Pirates
of the Caribbean open to the public, and
has remained one of the parks more
popular attractions.
