POTC has been under refurb since June and hasn't reopened yet. So there's no answer to your question right now.

Even if nothing changes with the boats after the refurb, you can ask to be seated in a row further back in the boat. As long as he isn't seated on the outside, he should be fine.

No guest has gotten wet on Pirates in a few months.

Thanks minnie mum. That's good enough for me!

A prime example of a statement which is true but can easily convey misinformation. A staple of internet wise guys. I need to lay off stuff like that.

Since you asked about the 'first' drop, I have to wonder if you are talking about Disneyland? There are 2 drops in DL, and one in DW.

I have ridden Pirates multiple dozens of times and have never gotten wet.

I read that POTC will reopen on 9/25. Is that still true/likely? Thanks!

Haven't heard anything to suggest the reopening will be delayed. Secretly hoping for a soft opening on 25th so I can check it out. If not that's where I'll be heading at rope drop on Saturday!

I am excited! Pirates is one of our favorite rides there.

I would definitely not count on staying dry, even on the inside. When I last rode Pirates (two days before the refurb), i was in the middle and ended up fairly damp. It's not a ride where you get soaked, but it's all about how the boat is weighted from what I understand. Hopefully it's a problem that they fixed with this refurb!

The hours for the attraction on the main site shows "No times available" for the 25th but 9:00 am to 10:00 pm with EMH for the 26th. Heres hoping.....

I was on the newly opened POTC on Saturday and didn't get wet at all. Well, there may have been a couple of mist droplets but nothing to make clothes wet. And we were sitting in the very front next to the CM.

That said <Spoiler Alert?>














There were many places where it looks like you will get drenched, and are told you may get wet, but then the boat turns or the critter stops spraying, etc. It was a pretty amusing ride for my young kids. But our CM was super cheesy which got a bit annoying after a while.

Hope this helps!

You were on Jungle Cruise, Time.

Sorry, but it sounds like you might be thinking of jungle cruise. I rode POTC Saturday and didn't get wet at all.

I rode yesterday in one of the middle rows and did not get wet at all
