Jack no longer appears in DL - except for during the Halloween party. That is the only place or time you will see him, and that seems to be hit or miss, as he only does the photo ops for intervals and then leaves.
Jack was removed as a regularly appearing character in DLR towards the end of 2008 - like in between Halloween and Christmas. So he has been gone for almost 2 years. The story Disney gave was something like 'Jack wasn't popular enough,' and, thus, was removed. But...I think we all know that Jack is not unpopular.
Rumor has it that the real reason for Jack's removal was that he was a little too popular with the ladies, and was receiving all kinds of un-Disney-like propositions from assorted female visitors. This same thing happened with Esmeralda (from "Hunchback") years ago - apparently she was a little too appealing to male guests and they were making lewd and inappropriate comments to her or trying to get grabby. Esmeralda was then removed from appearing in the park.
i knew that about Jack Soarrow but i had no idea about Esmeralda!! aww that saddens me, i always wondered why they never made her a character! that saddens me because she's one of my fav characters
