Well if you want to see Jack you can always come to the Renaissance Faire in the spring
The most famous and one of the best Jack's is actually a regular at the large local Renaissance, which was also the first Ren Faire in the country. Not helpful at Disneyland, but great for tourists looking for something else to do
In addition to the complaints and frisky ladies..........it also had to do with royalties......to Johnny Depp- because he's the "face" of J.S. he gets paid a royalty fee every time they use his face/image etc.
Disney got tired or havign another paycheck to write.....
i went to disneyland.com and went to contact and sent them an email asking first of all, WHY? didnt get an answer. second, voiced how many people LOVED the character and want him BACK! hehe. this is the email they replied for me. so hey, maybe if more people complain they will bring him back lol. i suggest a petition, seriously. i even voiced that in the email. its something i feel very strongly about. that is one of the best characters! every little boy in my family wants to meet him! and every lady too so i told the lady after reading this, that i was going to form together a petition, in hopes of getting so many people they will bring jack back. i will be gathering names from this board, and several others, as well as people i know personaly! i am collecting and organizing a data sheet, with first and last name, city and state of residence, and how many times you have been to DL. the ones who go many are loyal customers, and their voices should be heard! if you want to petition with me, send me a PM. with the info. you dont have to add your last name or city, an initial and state is fine if you dont wanna disclose too much. OR you can just add your screen name, and number of visits, and i will be able to put it under section for disboarders. thanks all! call me crazy, i wont say your wrong!
There was a very interesting blog on mouseplanet written by a former "Jack Sparrow" who was ultimately let go by Disney after several incidences. The author did say that there were women who came to DL just to see him and would wait in line for hours to spend time with him. They would get to the front, take a picture or two and then get back to the end of the line and do it all over again. He was even offered "services" by these women, if you get my drift.
One time he was pulled into an office by management for saying, "no sh**," which baffled him because he had never used foul language. Later, he figured out that he would say "Nice ship" to passing strollers and a parent had misunderstood the comment.
Anyway, he mentioned that Tarzan didn't last either as well as Jasmine from Hunchback. Apparently, too much sex appeal doesn't last long at Disney!
