Pirate Tutorial a MUST see!

[Mr.Bubbles]

If anyone is headed to the Magic Kiingdom you must catch the Jack Sparrow Pirate Tutorial in Adventureland. I believe it runs once an hour between 11 .m. and 4 p.m. Not only does the actor look just like Jack Sparrow, the actors are very good at ad libs. During our show a young boy really got into his role of attacking the pirates. He began hitting Jack Sparrow and his assistant in the legs with the plastic sword until he had to be disarmed. After that, he continued to lunge at them and grab their legs. Jack Sparrow had to pick him up and return him to his family. It was hyterical the way that they handled it. Do not miss this show!!

Where were the parents while this was going on?

They family was seated to the side. It started out to look like the boy was a little excited, but it quickly got out of control. It happened so fast that the pirates moved quickly to handle the situation. Not only good actors, but able to handle tricky situations with crowds. They helped to make it a funny experience rather than a a potentially negative one.

For those who can't go soon or who want a sneak peek someone has posted a video of it on YouTube. Very entertaining!!!

I have a question, and you may be able to answer it. Can you have your picture taken with Jack after the show?

They were clear with the crowd before the show that you could not take your picture with Jack and he would not sign autographs. There was a different Jack that roams Adventurland that will pose for pictures and sign autographs.

I wish Jack could meet, but I know he never could.

OOOHHHHH. You got to see Jack #2!! He's yummy!!!

Here's the link for those who've had no luck finding it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJie9yo7X_k

Looks like you got the much sought after Jack #2, the best Jack in the park according to many. He seems to be a great adlibber, so I'm not surprised that he handled it so well. And that Mack - he's just fantastic (he looks kinda different in that shot, but I do believe it's the same one). Those two make quite a team.

This is the first I've heard about this. I've even heard CMs say that Jack has yet to do meet and greets in the park unless you happen to sabotage him as he leaves the tutorial (which I know some have done, before). I've heard that the first meet and greets will be during the 2007 Pirates and Princess Parties.

Anyone else heard of this elusive walking and greeting Jack Sparrow?

ETA: Just saw Johanna's post. I skim too quickly.

I'm going to a Pirate and Princess party, so at least, maybe, I'll see him then.

I'm going too, but don't take me on my word! I'm really only relating the rumors I've read here on Dis.

We'll definitely keep our fingers crossed, though.

Oh I hope he comes out at the P & P events.

We heard this from a cast member working a register at the gift shop as you exit Pirates of the Caribbean. I am not sure how valid it may be. Perhaps she thought of what was coming up in 2007. She was a bit busy when I asked her. From what I have heard before CMs are not always exact with info they share. We did not see the meet and greet Jack ourselves. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
