For the past 18 months, more than 400 Disney Imagineers have been toiling away in California and Florida (the Disney World version opens July 7) to replicate that glorious absurdity, adding new video and lighting installations; digitally remastering the audio effects and adding snippets from the movies' Hans Zimmer-composed soundtracks; and fashioning more than 400,000 new gold coins and set pieces. And then 750,000 gallons of water had to be drained and put back over the course of three days. Instead of the old storyline featuring pirates on a pillaging bender, riders will watch the same pirates trying to capture the charming ne'er-do-well Jack Sparrow--played by an animatronic figure modeled after Depp's heavily eye-penciled film character--before he can reach the newly blinged-out booty. The other person brought to electronic life in the ride is Jack's nemesis, Barbossa.

Hmmm....thoughts on the change in storyline?? DH is worried he won't like it. But, um, there's no chance I won't like it!

But if you can't get close to the real Depp, Disney's animatronic version will be a good place to start.

I'll have to keep reminding myself that it's a family ride...

i will be so dissappointed if they removed the pirate with the dirty foot that sits up on the bridge. I know that it sounds silly but seeing him was a tradition for my family . I wonder why Disney is always changing things. Some things are just meant to be left alone!!!

I'll also have to keep reminding myself that it's a family ride now that "Johnny" will be there!!!

Never thought I'd be attracted to a "dirty pirate"!!!
