Dead men who “tell no tales” started talkin’ at this classic attraction at Disneyland Resort in 1967. And ye may not know but Disney Imagineer X Atencio, who wrote “Yo-Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me),” is the voice of the Jolly Roger skull and crossbones, before ye plunge down the first waterfall.

At Disneyland Paris, adventurers make two plunges down waterfalls during voyages that include a variety of scallywags and swashbuckling buccaneers. Few pirate fans know that dialogue for the main characters, such as the auctioneer and pirate captains, is in French and others speak English and Spanish.

Beware! It’s a pirate’s life for you when taking a voyage to the 17th century with rowdy rogues and ruthless rapscallions at the Walt Disney World Resort. Be sure to keep a spry eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow during each adventure.
