After winding your way through the fortress queue you arrive at the loading area, which is called Laffite's Landing. Pirates Of The Caribbean begins in the Blue Bayou, at street level of New Orleans Square. Crickets chirp and fireflies flicker. At an antebellum manor house, guests dine amid true Southern hospitality at the Blue Bayou Terrace. After drifting quietly through the lagoon, the passenger boats pass under a series of archways. "Ye come seekin' adventure and salty olde pirates, eh?" a ghostly voice queries. "Sure, and ye've come to the proper place....". Suddenly, the boats plunge down a 50-foot 'waterfall,' into the caverns beneath the French Quarter streets. "....Keep yer ruddy hands inboard! That be the best way to repel boarders...!" |

The biggest part of Pirates of the Caribbean is below New Orleans Square. There are extensive caves, where the skeletal remains of pirates past carouse and stand ghostly guard over their ancient treasure. These caves lead beneath the Disneyland Railroad, into a large, backstage set, known as the Main Show Building. There, a Caribbean seacoast town is under siege from complex - and comic - audio-animatronic buccaneers. Emerging from the caverns, passengers are caught in a fierce gun-battle between the 'Wicked Wench' and the fortress of El Tesoro, but the Spanish soldiers are no match for the wacky pirates. Soon the town is overrun. Safely through the battle, the bateaux drift into the city's system of canals. Some of the townfolk, still in their nightshirts, have been taken captive. Carlos the Mayor is being dunked in the town well, ordered to reveal where the city's treasure is hidden. Upstairs, his wife frantically urges him not to tell the secret! |

One enterprising pirate has organized an auction and is selling off maidens, as brides for his lonely shipmates! We wants the redhead! We wants the redhead! Passing under a bridge, the boats enter another part of the town. In this moonlit part of town, some of the pirates try to catch their own ladies... and one healthy lass, to catch a man! In the newest version of Pirates Of The Caribbean, Captain Jack Sparrow has been added to some of the scenes, including this one, and the pirates, tired of shipboard fare, are trying to steal the girls' food. The burning of the village. With the flaming town all around you, the villains, scoundrels and knaves swarm over the city! |

Singing all the while, as they go! Through an archway and the boats enter the dungeon. A few of the pirates have landed in jail, where fire rages all around. A dog with the key to the cell in his mouth, is persuded by the inmates to come closer so they can get to key and freedom. After this, there is the Arsenal, where a drunken sailor firing his pistol wildly threatens to blow us all to kingdom come. And lastly Captain Jack Sparrow appears, surrounded by his plunder and treasure, before the boats find their way upward, back to the elegance of 19th-century New Orleans. |
