On Show 318, I spoke with one of the lucky guests who snagged a ticket to attend Saturday’s world premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides at Disneyland. After walking the black carpet down Main Street USA, guests and celebrities partied together in Frontierland before the fourth “Pirates” film made its debut on a giant 3D screen hoisted onto the Rivers of America. A surprise fireworks show concluded the night’s festivities, synchronized with the end credits music of the film.
And for the many who were not a celebrity or did not pay $1,000 for a ticket, Disney set up around 20,000 bleacher seats along the black carpet arrival area of Town Square and Main Street, allowing plenty of photo opportunities and celebrity sightings.
Along the way, Disney’s cameras captured all of the biggest stars and most exciting moments throughout the world premiere, which I share with you below.
