This ride has practically become synonymous with Disney itself. It’s been a staple of the park for years and has remained practically unchanged since it’s opening. Like the "It’s a Small World" ride, it’s become a right of passage to Disney visitors and has to appreciated as such. The ride generally shows it’s age with low-tech animatronics and some politically incorrect moments (Wenches), but it’s still a great Disney adventure.

The ride itself is a water-borne trip that covers the life of a pirate. You’ll see a pirate’s cove, a battle and an entire pirate village. While you observe the action that takes place on both sides of the boat, cannonballs splash around you and pirates will hoist the Jolly Roger. Of course, the ride ends in a chorus of " Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a pirate’s life for me". Fortunately it’s not as catchy as "It’s a Small World", and you won’t create too many little pirates.
