  1. Idiots and cowards, are we getting rid of Donald Duck because of his speech problem and short temper. What about Goofy as he mocks mentally disabled individuals.

    1. Karma

      my guy this character was removed 47 years ago

      1. KTS

        Why get rid of the character, what ever happened to innocent until proving guilty, its a joke your condeaming a character & the actor not even found guilty
        What is the world coming too with woke people 😡😡😡

        1. CD

          They didn’t, what are you even whining about? This article is about the removal of a bird over 40 years ago. Why comment if you didn’t even bother to read it?

      2. Karen

        As long as they don’t fire the pirate with the hairy leg hanging off the bridge overhead I’ll be fine.

        1. Ginger Henderson

          Y remove a great ride big mistake

    2. Rocky

      Really upsets me that they can do this, captain jack sparrow has made nothing but money for Disney, I’m so furious and upset with this decision, will not be participating in anything that is Disney no more, Walt turning over in his grave

      1. KTS

        I totally agree, it’s a character the guy been hung & quartered before a verdict, what happened to innocent until proving guilty
        See the woke brigade is out already
        Disney a joke 😡😡😡

        1. CD

          READ the article! They removed a BIRD in 1975! Not Captain Jack Sparrow!

      2. CD

        Did you even read the article?! It’s not about Jack! It literally says a BIRD named Peg Leg Pete was removed in 1975 after only being on the ride for 2 years! Y’all for REAL need to READ before being all up in arms! You look ridiculous!

        1. Steve

          Did you see their comments..lol i dont think they can read the way they typed so eloquently 🤣

      3. John

        F Disney.

      4. Karrn

        I like turtles

    3. Andrea Conti

      John Depp put Pirates on the map and plenty of money in Disney ceos pockets. Heard should be removed from aquamarine films, she is the real problem. And why remove the bird? What did he do? Cowards and idiots at Disney now destroying all the good.

      1. Jordan

        He’s been gone for a long time, before any changes that are currently in place were even thought of. Calm down

        1. Anne Barnes

          My husband and I have been Disney fans for 50 years! I think it’s time to say good bye. It all started with a mouse that was fun and family friendly. Times change but not every one is woke! Keep Johnny in and sex out! I don’t care about your sex life and I don’t brag about mine! Kids grow up fast enough. Let them be kids!

      2. SuziQ

        It was the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction that put the movie franchise on the map. Not the other way around. Depp was good in the roll. The 5th film didn’t do as well from a financial standpoint. It made less than it cost to produce in the US. Global ticket sales is what saved them. This is why Disney decided not to do a 6th film.

        1. You failed

          It made 800 million u dunce. Look it up.

        2. CD

          They removed a BIRD 47 years ago! Read BEFORE you comment all up in arms!

    4. Xander

      L takers at disney. Cancel culture and other morons are ruining everything we love. It’s their job to stand above all that and think about the people, cowards.

      1. ArticleReader

        Did you read the article? They didn’t remove Jack they removed peg leg Pete in 1975. My goodness, relax bro.

    5. R.Chloe

      Disney began going downhill after Roy’s death & Eisner involvement, & in 2006, Disney World employees were Already fed up w/stripped benefits, & one was VERY rude 2 us~ God Bless them 2 Return 2 Old values & return the Original characters & rides!

    6. PaulDF

      I honestly believe that the “cancel culture” era will be looked back upon with incredulity, with the realization that we just allowed ourselves to be badgered, threatened, and mandated into social stupidity.

      1. JMarMil

        Over a bird they removed in 1975? 🤨

    7. Brit Girard

      That’s a lie. I just got off the ride.

    8. Max

      This is the stupidest story that I have ever heard…wow! In 1975 Disneyland made changes to a ride…. REALLY!?! No way? Have they always done that? Do they still make changes to their rides!?! Unheard of!!!

    9. Zach Afron to play Jack Sparrow no Jonny is and always will be Captain Jack Sparrow he brought that character to life and put Jonny back on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride sort it out Disney you let a diamond go believing a stone like Ember Heard you did him wrong now fix it I love Jonny x

  2. Captain Busy

    Disneyland and the Pirates ride will be affected by the obvious woke decision. We all know about how the term go woke, go broke applies to Disney. Ask DeSantis…

    1. CD

      What are you even talking about?! They removed a BIRD in 1975! This has NOTHING to do with being “woke”

      1. Alice

        I’m not worried about the bird, I’m worried about what Disney supports

        1. CD

          And what do you think they support? Last I checked it was everyone

    2. DeSantis is the joke here.

      1. FT

        And you think Brandon isn’t the biggest joke….

        1. No Trump takes that title.

        2. Alice

          He sure is the biggest joke. You’re right

      2. Cassandra Livanis

        I totally agree with you ! Disantis is bad news!!! He is nothing but a dictator who wants to change everything 😡😡😡

      3. Fred

        I’m old enough to remember when Disneyland was fun because politics wasn’t issue. Not so much now but I have my memories.

  3. CD

    Y’all need to read the article before commenting! All I see are hateful comments about the removal of Captain Jack Soareow and the article IS NOT ABOUT THAT! It even says to look for Jack!

    They removed a BIRD from the ride in 1975! That’s all! Read BEFORE you comment!

    1. Kevin

      You need to relax before you have a coronary, CD

      1. CD

        Says one of the people freaking out about something that didn’t even happen cause they didn’t bother to read the article!

        1. Kevin

          Um, and where exactly do you see one single comment from me on here “freaking out” about this article? Maybe you should take your own advice and read before you comment.

        2. CD. I love it. You tell em. I’m right there with you. Read the article before you open your mouth. Idiots!

      2. JS

        It is annoying when people comment when they don’t read the article, especially when their comment has nothing to do with what the article was about.

        1. CD

          Thank you! All the comments have nothing to do with what the article actually says!

    2. Jack

      Have you ever considered getting a life?

  4. The disabled bird was at the entrance when I saw him in the 1970s. Disney is selling overpriced statues of the character celebrating the 50th.

    1. CD

      Exactly! And everyone is all up in arms without actually reading anything!

  5. Paul

    I can’t believe they removed Captain jack Sparrow! He IS pirates of the Caribbean. I will no longer go on this ride 😤

    1. Nate

      Ugh. I wish people would get notifications on replies given here, because you SIR…did not read the article! But I will still enjoy the ride…Thank you!

      1. Skeet Jackman

        You don’t get it, Jack Sparrow made that franchise in the 70s! Disney should be ashamed of themselves! Give Jack an Oscar!

        1. anonymously chill

          It was the bird that was removed not jack

        2. SCOTT m Lee-ROSS

          Not only is this article not about Jack Sparrow, but people do not even know that Jack Sparrow was not in the ride in the 70’s, or the 80s or even the 90’s.
          They call Disney woke, but they do not even know what they are talking about. Shows the ignorance from the right

    2. anonymously chill

      Jack wasn’t removed u didn’t read the article clearly they removed a bird

    3. CD

      Well they didn’t. Read the article and try again.

    4. Leadbones

      And where did you read that they removed him?

  6. Lori

    People need to stop relying on photos to tell them the story because pictures can be deceiving as in this case. READ THE ARTICLE!
    BIRD REMOVED, NOT JACK!

    1. Skeet Jackman

      Yeah, remove that stupid bird, not Jack!

  7. Tennessee

    I like the original ride. I never liked the idea of putting the Depp guy in the ride. I know this article is not about him. But just like Ellen, it would be nice to get rid of him too.

    1. CD

      And why is that? No one even really knew about pirates until he made it a MASSIVE success. Why shouldn’t the character be in it?

      1. SCOTT m Lee-ROSS

        ummm, the ride came first.
        ummm, the ride did not have Jack Sparrow until 2006. almost 50 years after the ride debuted.
        The ride was a classic before Jack Sparrow.

  8. anonymously chill

    Jack wasn’t removed u didn’t read the article clearly they removed a bird

  9. Disney are a bunch off a#######

    1. That bird is life

    2. anonymously chill

      They removed the God dam bird read the dam article don’t rely on the picture

  10. Stan

    A poorly written article. Who, what, where and why were not fully answered. The author told us Peg Leg Pete was a parrot but neither told us where he was located or why he was removed. Did I miss something? Apparently I wasn’t the only one, some folks thought the article had to do with Disney going woke, Desantis, Brandon and Jack Sparrow.

    1. Jack

      Yet here you are blathering incessantly.

  11. Mason

    I read the article. So Disney is keeping Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney would need lots of rum before they decide Captain Jack Sparrow gets removed from the ride. Since Disney knows they will get hate if he is removed.

  12. David

    Please, really!! He was there in the ’80’s, he was actually out front of the ride “barking” and was remove completely in the ’90’s

  13. Erwim

    Is Disney World saying that Johnny Depp was really abusive to his exwife and we wont tolerate that kind of behavior anymore. But of course when it comes for another movie to be made they will still use any actors they see fit!

    1. ArticleReader

      Read the article. Honestly, these comments really show that some people did not pay attention in school when talking about credibility, and online sources.

  14. Erwim

    I’m surprised they didn’t get rid of Jack , cause they got rid of “We wants the red head! ” They should give Jack a glass of wine, to limit his drinking habit!Those awful pirates and thier bad habits!

  15. Erwim

    They should replace that ride with Princess Tianas Restaurant!I could definitely go for some New Orleans food when I go to Disney!It would be a new experience!

  16. Ashley

    Disney doesn’t owe Depp anything for any issue that he is in now. You are just being baited by abpoorly written article made by so called reporters. Whoever wrote the article should apologize to Depp just like every reporter who wrote fake articles on celebrities when some mishap happens in their lives. Disney never mentioned about banning Pirates of the carribbean movies or any other Disney movies he’s been with. You can’t believe every crap you read online.

    1. Skeet Jackman

      WTF does Johnny Depp have to do with Pirates of the Caribbean?

      1. Jennifer

        He played Captain Jack Sparrow in the movies….. Like the most popular character in the franchise…. 😐

    2. Jennifer

      Well they kinda do owe him a MASSIVE apology for firing him from the Pirates franchise for no reason, he did nothing to be canned. They got rid of him for alligations of abuse, which are false and he is the one that’s being abused.

  17. Erwim

    Put a Tiana Restaurant there! Great movie, plus you can eat New Orleans food there. It needs replaced the ride and movies are way outdated!

  18. D

    DeSantis Rules!!

  19. Shirl

    Disney is again making a big mistake. People don’t want this and they don’t want the next pirates movie cancelled or Johnny Depp removed.
    The least you can do is wait until the court case is finished.

    1. SCOTT m Lee-ROSS

      or the least you could do is actually read the article. Disney is not removing anyone, much less Jack Sparrow. But 47 years ago they removed the barker bird from the ride.
      Clues are now available in the post ride gift shop. 50c each!

  20. Edie

    He is not guilty!!! She is a liar and Walt Disney is ridiculous for their actions…. Now What would it feel like everyone boycotted Disney?
    JUSTICE FOR JOHNNY DEPP!!!

    1. ArticleReader

      Read the article before commenting. You guys talk about cancel culture and then follow through with the same mindset.

  21. juanita

    Depp said himself Disney dropped him from P6

  22. Louise M Orlowski

    My favorite ride. Bah Hum Bug.

  23. Michelle

    Disney you should be ashamed of yourself! He made u millions and millions of $$ and u can’t support him!! Shame shame shame!!

    1. Linda

      Disney has no integrity; Depp made you alot of $ now you dump him like an old shoe. You have no loyalty. Its no wonder DeSantis is trying to take you for a ride, you deserve it. you desrrve each other!

      1. Skeet Jackman

        Right, when someone earns a company lots of money, they should be allowed to act however they please in society. He should abuse some women at Disney, he’s earned it.

  24. Timbo

    I took another thought. I just got rid of Disney and solved all the whole woke issues and saved a ton of money to boot… gave me enough to spend an extra day or two playing on the beach!!

    1. ArticleReader

      Hey man, if you hate woke culture so much, then you probably should take steps to not participate it. For example jumping to conclusions. Read the article lmfao

  25. Deb Lholl

    SHAME ON YOU DISNEY! I will dissuade everyone I know from going to, viewing or purchasing anything connected to Disney. Disney, stay out of the politics!

    1. ArticleReader

      I never realized Prg Leg Pete was so controversial! Where was this uproar in the 90s

      1. Eric

        For Shame! Peg Leg Pete was the real hero of the franchise and everyone knows it.

  26. peej

    disney is a damn joke!! i never watch another pirates movie again or disney channel again…so sorry!! disney is sorry

    1. Disney Bot 86643

      Dear Loyal Sir…please don’t boycott us, we love you and your money. What if we bring back Song of the South for you.

      1. cailan

        LOL!! You are the BEST!! Gooood bot, good boy <3

  27. Chris

    Put Captain Jack back!!! He is a character in this adventure!! The character and the actor that played him are 2 separate entities.

    1. Jeehyun

      It’s a parrot…try reading the article next time…

    OMG!!! What the HELL is wrong with Desantis?

  29. JeeHyun

    Why don’t your idiot writers know how to spell? Who’s “Peg Let Pete?” As if this page isn’t a joke to being with. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

  30. Michelle

    I disagree with the removal of the Pirates ride!! In fact…I think you should bring the ride back but better and bigger!! I have some ideas as to how and gotta say would be pretty awesome and in Disney’s best interest if they wanna make all of us Captain Jack Sparrow fans really happy!!! Just saying!!! Do the right thing!!!!

    1. Senior Manager, Disney Imagineering

      Hello Michelle, we would like to contact you right away. We’re looking for people with energy and great ideas please call us tomorrow at ***-***-****.

  31. Justin

    Exactly. What does the Jack Sparrow animatronic character have to do with the subject of the article?

  32. Lei

    I love that this comment section is absolutely just proving that conservatives can’t read.

    1. ArticleReader

      Everyone here is talking about how bad cancel culture is and then us jumping in and cancelling Disney bc they “removed Captain Jack”. This is why ppl shouldn’t just look at pictures

      1. Ms H

        And you just proved her point. The article was about a bird “Peg-Leg Pete” it’s obvious that you just looked at the pictures. You are literally making all the points clear. You have no clue what is what. You didn’t know the article was about a bird that was taken off the ride way long ago..then have the audacity to claim that’s what other people do? You are precious..how about about some crow with that parrot?

  33. Stella

    I will no longer renew my annual pass.

  34. No it is my favorite

  35. Jim

    We want the redhead. That should have stayed the same. It was most people’s favorite part of the ride. Ridiculous!

  36. Dale

    F Disney

  37. None

    Disney is ran by a bunch of morons… Johnny Depp is the best and ONLY actor that can play that part! He made the movie point blank!

  38. None

    Walt Disney is turning in his grave what Disney has become is a shame and it is ran by a bunch of morons… Johnny Depp is the best and ONLY actor that can play that part! He made the movie point blank!

    1. Amsmith

      I no longer subscribe to Disney channel, nor Hulu nor Netflix. Can’t the world see that amber heard is a wh___ and a gold digger. The only thing she does good is suck ____ and_____

  39. Michael

    Omg, this comment section mad me laugh so hard and then cry as I died a little inside.

  40. Julie

    Not very smart of Disney. Johnny Deppb is amazing. Y’all will be sorry.

  41. Jessie

    This has been an interesting experiment in how many people actually READ THE ARTICLE before posting stupid comments. Jack Sparrow was not taken off, idiots. A dumb bird that nobody cares about called Peg Leg Pete was.

    1. AMS

      Comments are not stupid. People are voicing to Disney what they want them to know.

  42. Jessie

    This has been an interesting experiment in how many people actually READ THE ARTICLE before posting stupid comments. Jack Sparrow was not taken off, idiots. A dumb bird that nobody cares about called Peg Leg Pete was.

  43. Shannon

    Shame on you Disney Johnny is Innocent til proven guilty, and you made him guilty til proven innocent!!!!

  44. Carol Russell

    I think it’s a very bad choice for Disney to take pirates of the Caribbean out!!!!!

  45. Roxanne

    I’m so glad I got to see it before you done this. I would be soooo mad y’all are ridiculous. Johnny is awesome and doesn’t deserve this from this …..woman. I will not visit this part again I spent 600.00 in the shop because of johnny if not more. My grandson wanted the whole outfit I’m so ashamed of you Disney.
