Just heard a rumor about Pirates

[shelbyf31]

Hi Everybody,
Just read a post on a facebook site that said the Pirates refurb has been pushed back to June 8th. Anyone hear/read this?

The only place I've seen this at is touringplans, everyone else still says the 11th, but I hope it's true!

Orlando Park News saying "it was announced" this morning -

Pirates of the Caribbean's Refurbishment Shortened
Saturday, April 18, 2015
"As many of our Readers will remember, the Walt Disney World Resort recently confirmed that one of the most iconic attractions of the park - Pirates of the Caribbean - will close for a major refurbishment that was originally going to last more than four months. Earlier this morning, it was announced that the attraction is now scheduled to be closed from June 8 through September 25 (previously the refurbishment was scheduled to start on May 11)."

Hmm, I can't get it as a FP choice, maybe they just haven't updated it on there yet?

Here's to hoping since May 11th is our day at MK. This post is my first time seeing it, though.

That would be very exciting! I was sad it was going to be closed during our trip. It is a family favorite!!

Hope this is true as we're going in early June!

 

[NickEslick]

I am not sure, but when I did my FP+ for my end of May, early June trip I could not make Pirates Fastpasses.

Omg....please be true!

It would be better to have it done before Sept 25 (we're there from 9/8 to 9/18) but based on how quickly Disney has gotten projects done in the past, I'm not holding my breath.

OOOOOH, I so hope this is true! We will be there the first week of June and I have been so bummed that we were not going to get to ride Pirates!

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

Dandy news! I was a bit sanguine about not being able to ride it Memorial Day week

 

[grecorj]

Won't be at MK until June 23. Insert sad face emoticon.

I hope this turns out to be true, too. We'll be there in mid-May, just a couple days after it's currently scheduled to go into refurb. My DS6 doesn't remember too much from our last trip (he was 3 at the time), but does remember POTC and was looking forward to it. I've already told him that it will be closed during our visit, but it will be pretty cool if it turns out to be running after all!

Can't wait to try it in November. I hope it wows us! We dislike all the Johnny Depp additions! We are purists who refused to see the films.

BBBOOOO HISSSSS (insert corny pantomime reactions ) you should get yourself over to Disneyland Paris, they are your kin, the Pirates ride in Paris does not have any of the film additions and there is a huge fan group who want to keep it that way

 

[L&Lfan]

Thank you! I didn't know that! Disneyland Paris is definitely on our bucket list!

 

[Tay N Evie's Mom]

Boy I sure hope this is true!! We're coming in on 6/5 and going to the MK on 6/6, which is an EMH evening. My extended family was bummed it was going to be closed.
