I had read somewhere that Pirates of the Caribean will be closed for refurbishment till Sept. 06 has anyone else heard this? If it is true I can't believe the timing since the movie is coming out in July, my kids will be so dissappointed!!

Should be re-open-ning on July 1 according to Deb's Allearsnet. See below

Pirates of the Caribbean -Closed for refurbishment beginning March 1, 2006 through April 7, reopening Saturday, April 8 through Sunday, April 30. The attraction will close for refurbishment May 1, through June 30, Saturday, July 1, 2006. The attraction will feature the addition of two of Hollywood’s most infamous buccaneers, Captain Jack Sparrow and his nemesis Captain Barbossa. Joining the wildest crew that ever sacked the Spanish Main, Captain Jack and Barbossa add an exciting new twist to the attraction’s original storyline as they race to be the first to claim a cache of plundered treasure. The rival swashbucklers will be seen interacting with some of the more familiar Audio-Animatronics buccaneers found inside the ride-thru adventure. Also making a guest appearance is the ghostly Davy Jones from the second movie in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. But new characters are only the beginning. New special effects will also be added to enhance the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme park experience.
