Educated guess for POTC closure?

[disneymouse16]

I know they said the auction scene was going to be reimagined in 2018 on Pirates. Any ideas when that might be? We are looking at an early spring break visit (March 13th-17th) I'm wondering if it seems likely it will be down at that time? Pirates is a favorite and one I would consider rearranging a trip for!

Ditto! I will totally rearrange for that ride if I have to!

Oh gosh I forgot about pirates! We were planning to go mid - May. I would consider rearranging too!

An uneducated guess is that PotC will be down sometime between mid-January and early to mid-March.

I hope they get working on it ASAP and have it opened for spring break crowds.

Gack! I know by going on President's Weekend I get crowds, the probable closure of water rides, and shorter hours, but the possibility of no Pirates? Say is isn't so!!

Ugh. That'll be two March visits in a row that it'll be down for. I don't mind for myself because we had APs and got to go several times after it re-opened, but I go with a friend on a girls' trip in March, and that'll be twice that she's had to miss it.

This would be my guess too.

Hopefully they realize the idiocy of changing it and scrap the plan.

They announced when POTC will be closed at WDW... Feb 26-Mar 18. Hoping they announce when DL will be closed soon!!

We’ve seen the updated version at DLP and it’s awful. No atmosphere in that bit any more for me.

I'm still really annoyed by this whole thing. It just seems silly to me.

LOL. I wondered for a moment why I couldn't "Like" this post. Then I realized it was my own .

Well -- I'd say it's more strategies rather than secrets. Here are a few of my main ones:

• Only go for high-value targets. Don’t waste time on circles or squares (just as in real life ;-)).
• Shoot high-value targets as many times as possible, not just once or twice.
• Don’t stop shooting when the ride stops. Shoot high-value targets as many times as possible.
• Do the ride at least five times. Early in the morning (shortly after opening) you can do four or five rides virtually in a row.

Hope these help .

I tried your tips on my last trip and my score still wasn't great. My conclusion is my aim stinks. Need to work on that. ;-)

Another thing I should have mentioned is that, while most of the guns have decent aim, some outright suck. That comes down to luck of the draw.

We finally took the time on our last trip to figure out what shapes were high value and it made a huge difference! We wondered why we sucked so bad.
