Yes it does as people complain about everything now. The fools who dont like this ride and are hallucinating that pirates are ogling them need to go to a mental facility
Leave it alone! It’s a great ride and you woke people need to find something else to do! Besides everyt time you go to Disneyland It’s always the longest line that and the hunted mansion! Woke people need to stay home with there mask on
Hey babe, don’t let this bad “article” trigger you that much. No one is actually that offended by this ride. It’s not closing down. And OOP I’m going to wear my mask so I don’t get sick before my trip to Disneyland 😜
People in the minority of open kindness have a problem with everything seriously.if you don’t like it don’t ride it. Leave us opened here for the enjoyment alone
I agree! As a U.S. Military Veteran.
I’m offended by these worthless little offended girl crotches!
If you’re offended by what is a Caribbean ride? I suggest you don’t go there and shut your sucks because you mean nothing to us the rest of us that are enjoying why you’re at or if you like it you’re offended by early get the F out of our country in the US also cause we’re affinity don’t like your worthless asses.
You pus—ies!
Imagine being so entitled that you think something needs to be taken away from everyone because you personally don’t like it? If you don’t like the ride dont go on it,problem solved.
Leave it alone! It really ticked me off when they first changed i due to some woke weirdo who was offended by the original storyline. It’s meant to be fun AND educate about a historical time. Same with the Brer Rabbit Log Ride. If you’re offended by history, don’t ride, and let the rest of us enjoy it.
Just more stupidity, if you do not like something don’t go see it, it’s your choice to or not to see something it’s not your right to impose your views on anyone else
We recently visited Disneyland and it was my granddaughter’s favorite ride. We wrote it the first right of the day and the last ride of the day. It’s fun and humorous. It’s definitely an icon of the park!
Geez to woke a comment rapey…lmao get a life and grow up. You don’t like it don’t ride it, better yet , don’t go to Disneyland.folks like you made us lose splash mountain. They are rides.
I feel that political correctness has caused the Pirates of the Caribbean to close.I never had any problem with the attraction.Some of those people that were offended would be better off going to an attraction rated G to like they rate for movies.By doing it this way ,very sensitive people out there won’t be offended.This issue of the Pirates of the Caribbean is absurd.
For those that are hallucinating and think this ride is offensuve do not ride it. Disneyland is destroying itself from the inside out bt remiving iconic rides and putting rudes in for whiney crybabies. This was not Walts vusion as he wanted a place that children and parents would enjoy together. Piratws has been stripped of iconic characters altering its essence. These woke sensutive pepathetic people complaining are the 1%. Why is Disneyland catering to these crybabies. Leave Pirates alone as Disney continues to strip Disneyland of all iconic rides and in their place put cheap ugly rides fir those that cannot handle the real world
Leave it alone ! If we shut down everything that offends people we will soon be shutting down the entire world. Don’t like the ride? Move on to one you do like and shut your mouth.
Whoever said that Pirates is rapey are a bunch of entitled wet blankets. Pirates are supposed to be scary and whimsical. This ride may frighten some people because it is a thriller. Don’t like it? Then don’t ride it?
Give me a break people. If you don’t like the ride or what is actually about then DON’T GO ON IT!!!! I’m so tired of people complaining about everything. This world has become a world of freakin’ cry baby’s about EVERYTHING. Get off your high horse and leave stuff alone.
Shut up yall! The article was mainly about a technical issue causing the ride to stop, leaving guests stranded for 2 hours. They’re all fine, albeit having to listen to the same song and script for 2 hours. ..a cruel form of Disney torture.
It was dumb to add the issue of ride content, that the majority of turds commenting found the need to focus on and say “woke” a ridiculous amount of times, basically regurgitating the 20+ comments that said the same thing beforehand. Best way to lose support is Bible beating people over the head.
People need to keep their ridiculous opinions of things to themselves. Who cares it’s a freaking entertainment ride. Everyone can’t like everything all the time. If Disney gave out gold bars and free steaks, people would complain it’s not platinum and lobster… This isn’t newsworthy.
Were sick of you worthless woke people who want to cram their ugly agenda down our gutts. Thats one of my favorite rides. You woke idiots have no clue how to have fun without bitching about something. You dont like the ride, go stand in the tea cup ride and spin your small brains out.!!! Take your wortless butts and move to Iran and see if thar works for ya.
One of the best rides ….EVER…! I guess they’ll replace it with a ride featuring buttf*****g transgender queerios looking for rainbow unicorn poop all while driving their EV’s wearing their masks and voting for Cornpop.

This happens to be one of my favorite rides at Disneyland,yes it might be a little outdated,but that’s what gives the ride it’s charm and it’s everlasting presence . I’d stop going to Disneyland or the other Disney properties if they ever shut this down permanently,this is part of Disneyland history! If you don’t like it then don’t ride and STFU!!!
Leave the ride alone. It’s a fun ride. My first trip to Disney was two years ago to celebrate my retirement. I was 66 years young and Pirates of the Caribbean was one of the rides I enjoyed the most.
I am really sick of society being offended by everything. Seriously, it is way out of control. People need to toughen up, so many emotionally weak people out there. What are they going to do if something serious actually happens in life? Probably run to their safe space with crayons in hand.
I agree with you. I’m so tired of 1 person being able to ruin things for everyone else. This country needs to grow a pair and stop letting this happen…
I would change out all of the Disney executives and take their “woke” agenda and politics with them. This was supposed to be for family fun until some far left “Snowflakes” complained and Disney with all of its “woke” executives gave in.
Take a stand and tell the “Snowflakes” to “pound salt” and move on. The Disney “woke” ideology is costing the company big bucks and shareholders are not happy.
I’m probably one you’d consider “woke” based on my politics, yet I’ll be the first to agree that these polarizing extremes right and left have gone way too far. Society is never going to cater to exactly what you want. If you don’t like something, don’t participate. Leave the damn ride alone. It’s fun.
I’ve never been offended on this ride. It always been one of my favorites, and when they revamped it with Jack Sparrow, it was even better to me. However I certainly would not want to be stuck on it for any length of time.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I just think it’s A fun ride that Walt Disney himself created. I was 6 years old when my family first went to Disney Land in California. Pirates of the Caribbean was one of our favorite rides. Sometimes people are putting too much into what was intended to be just A fun family ride.
How ridiculous. Why do they cave in to the woke games?? They gonna lose even more money in the end ! Good Bye Disney …I’m going to Universal Studios instead !!
Pirate of Caribbean
If there offended then don’t got on the ride,,,, okay!!!
This ride is based on true history,,,history needs to be said,,,,, grow up you people
Leave the ride alone,!!!!
DIFFINETLY NOT! I ARRIVED FROM PHILIPPINES AND I WAS ASKED THEN… WHY I WANT TO GO TO AMERICA? I SAID I WANT TO SEE THE DISNEYLAND! I WAS ONLY 21 YRS OLD AND NOW? I AM 68! WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG, WE STAYED IN THE HOTEL OF DISNEY CALIFORNIA YEARLY FOR 5 YRS… I WILL NEVER EVER WANT ANYTHING CHANGED AND ERASED ALL OF MY GOOD MEMORIES?
Disneyland is based on Fantasy and everyone should keep their options to themselves if they don’t like it leave. I’ve been to Disneyland since the year I was born. I still have paper tickets. The ride is great I don’t care who the ride offends, get a life. It’s Fantasy. Enjoy it or leave. Disneyland is to be magical and people need to get a grip on reality.
We all know pirates were God fearing peace loving individuals. These saints would never lift a hand against another, especially women. I want to more historical accuracy with these gentle fellows offering hugs
Thankfully by the 75th of Pirates in 2042 or even sometime before then, Pirates will be restored to its normal non-movie non-PC self and made great again complete with brides being auctioned again and pirates chasing women again. This is a guarantee. Real Disney fans will party. And one thing I might do after taking over Disney is restoring the woman in the barrel hiding from the “Pooped Pirate” and have her be a caricature of Kathleen Kennedy. Like there will be women’s groups who boycott?
Pirates were not PC. We don’t need to see murders and bloody sword fights on a rIde but stop making it so whitewashed that it no longer looks like pirates.
It’s a great ride one of the originals! It’s been updated a few times but it’s always good fun. Leave it alone and if people don’t like it for any reason don’t ride it simple!!!!
Put the ride back the way Walt Disney made it. If your so sensitive and can’t handle the way pirates were then don’t ride it. I have been offended by all the changes. Pirates sold women, men and children. The also did so much worse. Disney had already made it for all ages, put it back to normal and quit trying to please just a few. Disneyland is no place for the woke attitude..
Leave the ride as it was when invented, if the ride offends you stay off of it and keep your socialist comments to to your friends lots of people love that ride including me from my first ride in California in 1970
No they should not shut the ride down if it offend u then don’t ride the ride plain and simple this offense BS is really stupid if u don’t like it then go somewhere else for vacation no others should suffer for other people’s nonsense if no one likes what I say I couldnt care less but those who love Disney should suffer
This goes against what Walt believed in. You don’t sugarcoat things for kids. Sick and tired of the snowflakes ruining Disney And Bob Iger is Jack Frost.
Bring back old Disney
YOU HAVE A CHOICE AND THE CHOICE IS ALL YOURS. Do you eat something you don’t like, or do you make a restaurant remove it from their menu? Get over yourself and leave Walt’s legacy alone.
Why should this even be a topic?
Offended by pirates…
It’s a freaking ride about pirates! They’re the bad guys…. they’re supposed to be that way.
If it hurts your feelings, stay off the ride and let everyone who has normal sanity enjoy it
Changing a ride about the 17th century pirates and their behaviors was a bit silly. 1st it’s already a bit silly of a ride as it is, there’s nothing factional about it really. 2nd their basically puppets singing a happy little song as they pillage.
3rd some of these people need to get real, it’s a ride. Ride it or don’t, but you don’t need to ruin it for others. Ok it’s not you cup of tea then stop drinking it and find something else that will make you happy.
United States is becoming a joke where those stupid people that “get offended” weights more than the rest of the entire nation.
There is a reason why “majority” is required to rule…and it “must apply to everything ” or we will end up being governed my minority.
California rulers want to please minority…look at the results…that State is becoming nothing but a joke.
Someone does not like something about Disneyland/Disneyworld…then go elsewhere.
I foresee the day where there will be no comediants because “someone” feels offended by what has been said, or how it was said…
Disney should make a stand and post “warning signs” that there is no way to please absolutely everybody, and for that reason, no guest to the their parks have the right to feel offended, but they do have the right to “leave immediately ” and never come back.
I think taking ANYTHING out of Pirates of the Caribbean. That’s exactly how pirates were! If you’re offended, stay off the ride! It’s ridiculous trying to change history. The Truth will prevail. All you whiny people SHUT UP AND MYOB!
Don’t understand how an animatronic can make you feel raped. It’s not a real person. Don’t like it, don’t ride it problem solved. As for being stuck, not much you can do. It happens sometimes.
Who the hell is this person
Now one of the best rides in magic Kingdom is being closed
I hope not for good
That person can just not go on the ride if they are so fricken affected my oh no a scary pirate
It is pirate automation
It is fun ride for families
Pirates of the Caribbean rides has always been my favorite! I am offended that my favorite is now gone! What about my feelings! If you don’t like something, don’t go on it, don’t ruin it for everyone else, JERK!
Someone felt like the pretend pirates were ogling her?? Really!? The pirates were drinking and acting like….pirates?? OMG. It’s just for FUN! Honestly, I could right a thesis on this “cancel culture”. But I won’t.
Really bad when we cater to one person or family.
When millions visit there and it has been there over 50 yrs.
This is what’s wrong in our country now no tolerance we just get offended by everything we don’t like.
We need to quite trying to please everyone in the world. Go on the ride or don’t! Your choice !! Grow up and take responsibility for your choices. Cry baby!!!
A few people ruin what everyone else likes. If you get offended by the ride, don’t go on it. But, I’m sure all the complainers went to the theater and watched pirates of the Caribbean movies.
As a Pittsburgh Pirate fan I am deeply offended by a ride which trivializes my heroes. Would we allow a ride called the Dodgers or Yankees of the Caribbean? I doubt it.
I’ve enjoyed this ride over 52 years with kids and grandkids. It was nice to cool off and amused me. You always have a choice to not ride. I’m sorry your life is so petty this an important issue to protest!
Well there were pirates, and among other things they were involved in the slave trade. So if the ride is the only thing offending you, you have an odd st of priorities!
The right is the best place to cool off and quick three ride. There’s nothing offensive about it if you find this right offensive then I think you should look at yourself if you don’t like it don’t go in it.
Idiots, these people are idiots. Stay home where you will not be offended. Stop dragging your woke, DEI, feminist, socialist, and liberalism into a theme park where the children are supposed to play. Any female or male or whatever-ale that feels like an animatronic robot is being sexist, racist, or offensive has a serious mental disorder! People are sick in the head! Stay home and let the rest of the intelligent, fun loving society enjoy the parks!!
Don’t change anything. I guess I haven’t been on it since they changed the “Bridal Bidding” but you can’t change HISTORY. For goodness sake…. Over sensitive and the loss of many interesting and factual things. Don’t Ride The Pirates of the Caribbean if you think you will be offended. Making changes for the minority is not fair to the majority. You’re ruining many memories that the rest of us treasure.
Someone was that offended by Pirates. I wonder what the movie does to them!! They may get upset knowing that One Eyed Willy’s treasure may still be floating out in the ocean.
Its a sad day when a society, young as we are, become offended by rides that share parts of past history. A little! We all know bride auctions are not okay. It is fun! Im sorry other cultures are abusing women. Im a woman but laughter is part of living a good life! Get over it. Too much political correctness has led to this christian extremism
Pirates exists in our oceans. They are known for the bad things they do. Fortunately, Disney didn’t replicate what truly happens. This is an animation. Hope this person continues to live in their bubble.
This has been my favorite ride for as long as I can remember. Some changes here and there are okay because it keeps things new and fresh, but I also hope they never change it so much that it loses the spirit.
I’m just tired about reading and hearing about how soft people’s feelings are being hurt about the content of pirates. It is what it is at the end of the day pirates are people who plundered and stole among other things fare worse. This ride is soft in comparison to what they really did in real life. It is one of walt Disney’s visions and story telling I wish it wouldn’t be changed again. I think it should be updated or heavily repaired from a mechanical point of view can’t keep people stuck in those boats for 2 hrs anyway lol.
If you don’t like don’t ride it. There are many more things in the world that are offensive than that you probably don’t even blink an eye at. It must be a power play to ruin something for many.
Here is a thought, if you don’t like the ride, then don’t go on it. We all have choices. The ride is entertainment and was always fun, take it in the context intended. Why should the obvious minority opinions ruin it for everyone else?
Pirates of the Caribbean should never be closed except for an emergency. If guests are offended by the ride, no one is going to stop them if they don’t want to ride it
It’s a nice calming ride. It’s a kid version of pirates. It’s not a live version of let’s say Black Sails. It’s all about woke ness and destroying the basic things most of us grew up on ..it’s Disney it’s a theme park. It’s supposed to fun don’t like it don’t go.
Well there were pirates, and among other things they were involved in the slave trade. So if the ride is the only thing offending you, you have an odd set of priorities!
It’s a fun ride. And historically the pirates were the bad guys.
Wow! If you felt ogled by an animatronic pirate you better lock yourself in your house with all the shades drawn. And never go outside.
As many have said if you are offended don’t go on the ride. At the same time don’t go to any theme park, don’t go to the movies or watch TV because something will offend you.
Leave the older attractions and rides alone at Disney parks, if there are people who don’t like something then they should just stay away from them and let the rest of the ones who love them enjoy them, including Pirates…
Today’s generation is so damn sensitive anything is offensive to them. Whoever complained about the animatronic has been so pampered and sheltered they can’t handle a Disney ride. Lol Pathetic.
Pirates is the best ride. I actually wish they would put back everything the way it was. If you feel offended and don’t want to ride then don’t ride. It ruins things for the rest of us when people complain about things. Leave things alone. We all have our opinions. I see nothing wrong with pirates. It’s an amazing ride that should be left alone.
If you don’t like the ride _ don’t ride it again. Your opinion or disapproval should not ruin it for the rest of the visitors. This is America where we get to make choices and hopefully it will stay that way. Patron another ride ir park. Stop trying to ruin it for those that visit the park to enjoy the different entertainment.
The woke ass people are taking over. Haven’t you noticed how much say over our own bodies we’ve lost? How many things we did as kids that are felonies now? They’ve been taking over since the late ’80s. There’s no signs of them slowing down any time soon.
Leave the ride alone. If there are a few snowflakes out there offended by the ride developed when Mr Disney was still alive and running things, let them go elsewhere. No one is forcing them to go on this wonderful adventure!
Pirates is a Disney classic that is one of the few remaining things Walt worked on not yet destroyed in this current period of wokeness. The ride should be maintained better to prevent the breakdowns and KEPT OPEN. If you don’t like the ride don’t go on it.
People need to get over themselves. It’s a fun ride, a piece of history. Let’s not whitewash the old times because we are too sensitive to that which is not socially correct.
Keep the ride we go every year and we have a blast on this ride.If you are offended don’t ride it this America and we have right to enjoy the little things that make us happy.
Have people just lost their minds.
The ride was my very favorite.
I only go to Disneyland once in a blue moon. But it is exactly what one would expect from a pirate ship.
Do NOT close this ride. Its one of my favorites. It’s just so classic and never gets old. For ya’ll ppl who don’t like it then DON’T ride it. Simple as that!!! Keep the ride as is and dont close it down!!!
Ya’ll know its not actually closing right? The title is making you want to read the article, but the content was not about the total, only talking about people getting stuck on the last paragraph.
After 56 years and it’s just now a problem? Y’all just looking to be unhappy. Don’t go on that ride. Or, better yet. DON’T GO TO DISNEY! Save the happiest place on earth for the ones who want to be happy.
Why are you being harassed to change anything about the ride…if someone doesn’t like it or feel it’s sexiest…then don’t ride it…I’ve been alive since b4 Disneyland California opened and I understand updating..but closing down or making drastic changes bcuz someone thinks this or that is absurd….I say leave it the way it has always been with some updates…bah humbug to the people who are offended by History and the way it was…go cry to your Mama’s
Does everybody just do not want to have any fun at all! Oh my God it’s not real!! Making a big deal out of everything! Critiquing and criticizing anything and everything!
Disney, PLEASE do not fall believe the narcistic woke few that think we, the majority, need to follow ridiculous cancel culture attitudes. POTC is the most memorable ride at Disney. Its a small world comes in a close second. Be smart about this and maybe, apologize to Johnny Depp while youre at it…
I love the ride PIRATES OF the Caribbean is a amazing ride to be on. I remember riding it all my life .lm 60.And the most famous popular best ride there is at Disneyland. Please don’t shut down forever. That would be a horrible huge mistake to do.
It was my favorite ride as a kid and still is as an adult. I would be sad if it ever closed and it annoys me that they made changes to it for being “offensive”. It’s ridiculous!
Things have just become ridiculous first we get rid of history, take down historical statues and now people think there’s something wrong with the kids Disney ride. Leave the ride alone leave history alone and put the status back.
I love that ride it is one of my favorites. No one forced you to go on. Please stay off it so the rest of us can enjoy it. Please do not close this ride. Yo Ho A pirates life for me.
Disney is a lot about fantasy and not always real. Keep it the way it is. Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope. New ropes are very scratchy until they are broken in. Please keep it the way it is.
I think people just need to get over themselves. People these days get offended by EVERYTHING. it’s time to stop playing victim all the time snowflakes. There are several things out there now that have come about in the last so many years that are things that I don’t like but guess what? I adult and don’t do those things or watch those things. Instead I do things that I like. Just because something you don’t like or something makes you feel a certain way that is your issue. Others probably don’t feel the same and might actually enjoy those things. So if you didn’t enjoy it something offends you. Avoid it and quit your bitching
At some point you’ve got to throw up your hands. To the lady who felt like the pirates were staring at her, THEY AREN’T REAL! This is where a lot of people get upset. Leave the ride alone. People who are “uncomfortable” with FAKE pirates can’t be accommodated all the time. That’s the beauty of a free society..DON’T GO ON THE RIDE. GEEZ! What happens when everything is made to offended anyone? Makes things less interesting.
This stupid woke agenda needs to be stopped. I am pretty sure the audioanamatronics cannot Google you. Also pretty sure the pirates probably auctioned off women back in the day. Let’s put the ride back like it was and tell the people who don’t like it ti just not ride it. They are running fun for rest of us.
The feeling of being “ogled” by an animatronic is nothing more than a Karen seeing $$ from a slug attorney. Disney is over rated and out dated and should be closed permanently
I love “Pirates of the Caribbean” it’s a great ride and I’m sad they’ve had to make changes to the ride, like the bride auction, as that was probably close to realistic given the 1600’s, not to be confused with today’s considerations, and the Jack Sparrow was cool too, after all 5 hit movies in a row have got to mean something, tides…
The fact that anyone feels a need to take someone who feels “ogled” by an animatronic ride shows how broken society is at this point. Quit validating psychos. Either take your meds before you come to an amusement park or stay home. Stop ruining things for everyone else just because you can’t handle life.
I love the pirates! I think people these days make everyone out bad! Everything’s negative- just enjoy it n enjoy life! Heck I’d like to join the pirates lol! They look like theyr having fun to me!
When will the woke quit ruining things for normal people. There’s one of them, to maybe a thousand normal people. Maybe you should keep catering to normies instead of those that should probably seek psychiatric treatment.
I have taken my 3 boys to that ride for over 25 years & probably 12 times . What is this world coming to when a fun ride at Disney is offensive. God help us all.
By all means, let’s not only change all rides that depict historical settings the way they actually were, but why not completely rewrite all history books, remake all movies, and rewrite all books ever written to ONLY include the woke agenda’s version of what is NOT offensive. Oh and those scary “thrill” rides like roller coasters, we better tear all those down, too. Someone who is offended by scenes of pirates (who were basically criminal thugs, btw) might be scared of the drops and the high speeds. Funny how the same crowd defends actual modern day criminals (those who enter our country without permission, those who do drugs, urinate, defecate, and litter our city streets with their garbage and drug paraphernalia, push people under subway trains, rob innocent citizens and business owners, etc.) but, God forbid we have a ride that portrays pirates as they actually lived 400 years ago!
Why are you being harassed to change anything about the ride…if someone doesn’t like it or feel it’s sexiest…then don’t ride it…I’ve been alive since b4 Disneyland California opened and I understand updating..but closing down or making drastic changes bcuz someone thinks this or that is absurd….I say leave it the way it has always been with some updates…bah humbug to the people who are offended by History and the way it was…go cry to your Mama’s
Why can’t corporations understand – go woke, go broke. Disney has had to keep raiding prices to make up for the loss of revenue from ordinary people who aren’t always looking for some way to be offended. Do these CEOs not understand that not offending one group might/will offend another? Relax and enjoy what is supposed to be a vacation and break from everyday reality and get over yourself.
A total load of bovine excrement. Another couple of years and Bambi will be attacked as Animal/Child exploitation. And who was thewoman who felt she was being improperly stared at…BY AN ANIMATION…A MACHINE?!!! Instead of doing away with ‘Pirates’ why don’t we get some psychological help for the weirdos who feel machines on kids’ rides are sexist, and that machines are looking at them ‘improperly!!
I a. So tired of rides getting changed or closed because of the few that are so easily offended! It’s not real people! It’s a ride! If you don’t like it and are that offended, THEN STAY HOME! Stop ruining things for the rest of us! Some people Re just so stupid!
I gave been going to Disneyland since I was 5yo and I’m 57 now. Pirates was and is one of those rides that I’ve I always ridden. Even now when I go, I alway have to ride Pirates and Haunted Mansion. It’s a shame that people can’t get past certain issues cause at the end of the day this is JUST A RIDE! You get off and go on another. Closing Pirates would be a travesty to something that has existed for such a long time and is so entertaining.
You know that ride was one of Walt’s favorites it’s been there for 56 years there’s nothing wrong with it you guys all need to get over this all cancel culture this offends me bullshit man up and grow a pair
I have spent many times on this ride.The problem now is this generation who have no idea what Pirates represent. I am 75 years old and was raise with good values. It is time now that we stop catering to these cry babies..
I’m getting sick and tired of these fake Christians putting their two cents in trying to run everybody’s life mind your business if you don’t like what’s on it don’t ride it
Q: Should it close forever? A: Hell No! Q: Would I change anything? A: Restore it to its original glory, and leave it that way, other than regular maintenance.
If you don’t like it, don’t ride it! It is as simple as that! It should not be a few people who decide that everyone else should miss out. That is completely ridiculous!
People are way to sensitive and WOKE these days!
The world doesn’t need you to try to tell it what to do or say!
If you don’t enjoy a ride, move on to the next!
Nobody wants to hear your negative bs!
Possibly because they think too much of themselves and consider themselves to be so attractive that even a fake pirate would want them…. are totally insecure with themselves and Afraid when anything that looks like a male looks at them definitely they are the ones who are weird
Everyone have their own opinion about things as they should. If you think a certain ride is offensive then by all means don’t ride their are plenty of other options. That will make our wait time less. Thank you Walt Disney and all who work at Disneyland for all the great years I have gone.
This is ridiculous! Millions upon millions have enjoyed this ride for over 50 years. Keep the ride and stop changing it for a few! If they don’t like the ride, give them their money back and tell them to leave.
There are several rides I don’t ride for a few different reasons. Physically, after back surgery…the Matterhorn is a no go…possibly Thunder Mountain Railroad too. I am a senior citizen and after riding It’s a Small World many, many times…I choose to not ride it…BUT I would never expect others to avoid them because of my limitations or choices. There are plenty of things to overfill your day if you are easily offended. Leave Pirates as is or put the original back…but don’t ever think of elimating it. Continues to be one of the most entertaining.
I agree with USMC 67. In my opinion there is absolutely no issue at all with the ride as it was, back in the early 2000s. That was the last time I was there, at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. Since then, there has been so much nonsense and nitpicking over trivialities! The ride presented an honest and amusing look at the lives of pirates as told in story books and told in documentaries. To bend to the overly sensitive population is ludicrous. These are the same people who probably would not have an issue with their kids wearing skimpy clothing or smoking pot! And let’s not forget the Johnny Depp issue! Before his trial was over, before he was found innocent or guilty, Disney wanted to give him the boot. Such hypocrites!! The people who are making so much noise, who are so offended by a ride that is depicting simply history; if you find it distasteful, I hope you’re also boycotting all the pirate movies and all the action movies. Some of which although popular, show violence and sexual content.
How does an animatronic oogle humans? I don’t see how that’s possible unless they human just thinks everything that isn’t real looks at them that way. If that’s the case, I’m think they need to see a Dr.
Stop changing things, how it was from the beginning is only portraying how things were. My gosh people are so so sensitive and take things so personal anymore. It’s not about you! People have forgotten it’s a THEME park!! You can’t tell me that they didn’t know what happens on the ride, are they that naive, sheltered? What are they going to gave to give everyone in line a preview of what’s in the river to know if they should or shouldn’t go in? Yeah getting stuck on the ride for 2 hours isn’t acceptable as the article didn’t mention a reason and this is where the park needs to compensate the guests for the inconvenience.
I think people need to stop acting stupid about this ride I went on this ride since 1975, there is nothing wrong with this ride. That’s how pirates are.
Nothing should be changed. I’m sick and tired of people wanting to change things. If you are offended, don’t go on it. Don’t ruin it for people who don’t have a problem with the ride. Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. To me, it sounds like Disneyland isn’t for you.
Disney needs to stop giving in to complainers. You can’t please everyone, so stop trying. Keep things how they are. People don’t have to go there if they don’t like it. I’m actually not too thrilled about Disney’s attitude lately. 😡
I agree with the majority of comments. Pirates weren’t good guys. I road on this ride and thought it was fun. People are so over sensitive and have to analyze everything to their version of “politically correct “. Me, if you find it offensive then don’t ride it. There are enough attractions at Disney to appeal to everyone. Please Disney don’t take it away.
Good Lord, once more the whining Karens want the world to bend to their will. As has been said in other posts, IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THE CONTENT OF THE ATTRACTION, DON’T GO ON IT! As for the person who felt that the animatronics were ogling them, that person needs help.
For the love of God leave it alone. Every time you turn around to make someone happy you are taking something away from another group of people. Leave politics out of the happiest place on earth. There is no sign at the entrance that requires you to ride the ride
NO! They should NOT close the ride. That’s my favorite ride of ALL time. I’ve loved it for decades. IF you don’t like it, don’t ride it. Ride the other ones. I’m so tired of these “offended” people. Get a life. JEEZ!!!
What is happening to this world?? We are giving in to cry babies that find the stupidest things “offensive” Instead of worrying about a ride that is probably the most popular, worry about what is happening with something that is important like the Gaza situation, or high cost of living!! Some people, I believe, look for things to complain about!!!!
There is no reason to change Pirates. Some people are too easily offended by minor details or they are just trouble makers. I still feel like Splash Mountain should never have been shut down for the same reason. If you don’t like it, stay off Pirates and let the rest of us enjoy it the way Walt wanted it.
How do you feel this ride is “RAPEY” are you having sexual thoughts towards an automated person? You need to get a life and stay away from any Disney destination. It’s idiots like you that have ruined society for the rest of us “normal” people.
No it doesn’t need to close down I love the films and I love the ride people need to stop being snowflakes. If they don’t like them they don’t need to ride it why spoil it for those who enjoy it.
Maybe if you are so offended by a ride you should consider the number of people you offend in a day with your all holy attitude. And really, ogled by a batch of nuts and bolts with some fabric… you have issues. Go home
I think people are stupid about this. Shut down Pirates of the Caribbean..? Are you kidding me. People are just too net picky. This ride has been a classic for almost as long as I’ve been alive. Life is too short. Let people enjoy these rides. Please don’t close it down.
If a conservative doesn’t like something, a ride a tv show a comedian etc. they just move on and don’t ride it watch it or go to the show. Now an uptight triggered Liberal wants to ruin it for everyone by cancelling, changing or just ruining someone’s life. Move on and stop screwing things up for sane people.

Leave the ride alone! You pansy people who get offended over a ride I have a suggestion!! DON’T GO ON THE RIDE!! GO RIDE THE MERRY GO ROUND FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!! It’s a ride about pirates people! What do you think they did back in the day? Ask if someone would be offended before the pirates raided? Omg!! Get real people! That’s the way it was back then! You can’t handle it, don’t go on the ride! Mr Disney is probably rolling in his grave over all this garbage. All these people making a big issue out of one of the best rides in the park should think twice about even going there to begin with! Stay home & live your sheltered lives in your closets that should be padded for the love of God!!
Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth NOT Whinges Day Out. If you can’t enjoy Disneyland the way it has been for many years, stay at home. Stop trying to ruin it for the sane, happy people.
Pirate’s of the Caribbean ride is my favorite rides at Disneyland and I think they should put it back to the original! The Bride’s part of the ride was a favorite of mine and I was disappointed about it being removed.
If they got rid of it I would be most upset and may not return!
100% agreed. The bride auction was appropriate for those times. Sick of people being so offended. People are getting too sensitive and it seems like it is the younger generation complaining all the time about everything.
Grow up and be aware of how things were. This is a type of historical fiction. Easy answer here is ride it or don’t. Stop pushing your sanitized BS onto every aspect of life.
Don’t shut ot down because of some people saying it’s offensive, it’s part of history, that’s what pirates did. As for me I love pirates and reading about them. Before you even go on the ride, read about it and check a video on it, don’t like what you see then don’t go on it. Most likely whoever complained won’t visit again. They just want to make a big stink about it nothing better to do.
Sick and tired of people being “offended” by everything under the sun. Reality check: it was much worse in real life. As for getting stuck on the ride, happens to everyone.
GROW UP!
That’s how the pirate’s way if life was. They’re historic facts with added humor in them.
Disney should stand firm on their ground on certain things especially if it’s true history.
We get a glimpse of the past which were already established and has passed.
That’s why it stood there for more than 5 decades and should remain to be as long as Disney operates.
“Ogled by animatronics” ~~ I guess this “guest” has unresolved mental problems. How can an inanimate object “ogle” someone? Was it “wishful thinking”? The world has gone MAD, Disney along with it! If a ride can make one feel uncomfortable, I suggest you don’t go on it. When are corporations going to wake up and stop catering to these crazies?
People are getting too purist. Its a freaking ride. And if your study history. Females was sell. They burned cities and steal riches. It’s just an make believe place for entretaimer. Too close mind people. If you don’t like do not get on!!
Shut the whole park down, something will offend someone. Who will be offended by Cinderella’s Castle because it reminds them of European colonizers? How about the Hall of Presidents because some Presidents were slave owners? Is the Tiki room offensive because of the songs? Certainly the Jungle River cruise is offensive because of African themes? I am so glad I gave up on Disney years ago.
Ogled by aminatroics? Just how does that happen? If you’re offended by this ride, how about this, DON’T RIDE IT! Move along. Go to the next ride and get on with your day. Everything is not for everybody. You’ll find something else to bitch about soon enough.
These people are ridiculous. What’re you going to do, whitewash all history you don’t like. Get a clue. Some history is really bad. Pirates were “rapey” and murderous. Slavery was real, for God’s sake it’s still around today! You ever heard the phrase “those that forget their history are doomed to repeat it!” I think we would all do better to leave innocent rides and statues and things alone and worry more about how we all act and treat each other in future! The past is gone, leave it alone!!!
Change it back to the original and leave it as the majority of people want it and not the view if the few…..Enough is enough with this woke stuff you don’t like it don’t ride it simple as that!
This country needs to stop being so soft and wine, if you don’t want to ride it, don’t, but don’t try to take away something that brings pleasure to other people. Stop looking to be offended by something. Personally I find today’s movie and television content a he’ll of a lot more offensive that anything Walt Disney ever did when he was alive.
This is just the outgrowth of parents telling these (useless non functional) people that they are the most special the most incredible little children and they deserve to be heard and to get a trophy for EVERYTHING they do. They grow up and continue their reign of terror on the general population and throw temper tantrums until they get their way (ala Fredick Chambers rant about splash mountain) Frederick incidentally works in guest services in DL – stop by and thank him for helping to destroy one of the most beloved attractions.
Pirates of the Caribbean is a fun ride that takes you back in time to the days of sailing the seas. Its history, yet fictional. If you don’t like the genre, you don’t go on it. Just like roller coaster rides, if you don’t like going on them, you don’t go on them. There are many rides for everyone to enjoy, find what you enjoy and have fun. That is why people go to Disney Parks, Various Music Type Concerts, NFL football games, MLB baseball games, NBA basketball games, NHL hockey games, Broadway Plays, Nature parks, etc. to have time away from the real world problems. Pick somewhere or place that makes you happy instead of being the complainer in life.
Oh so you mean something mechanical broke down ? Say it isn’t so .. and if your going on a ride about pirates and don’t expect what you see, then go ride it’s a small world instead.. Geesh do YOU people have to destroy everything ??
The fact that this is even a story and we’re giving a voice to an obvious mental case Karen just says so much about this silly website Obviously The group here that writes the silly nonsense having an agenda it’s obviously DEI and they don’t look at things as trivial and bullshit and basically look at people like the angry Karen, who thought an animatronic pirate was staring at her and being rape. What the fuck does that even mean and ask her what the hell her problem is. Being admired as a woman by a man is a bad thing right as we’re trying to get to you broke, sad, sad, and miserable unloved dried up hags.
You know I’m all for updating and refreshing things but but Walt Disney would be spinning in his grave seeing what has been done to his park, you had a park that believed in family and now you want DEI everything and you’re catering to a population that’s less than 15%, why because they have big or maybe they have something on you, I just never in my lifetime thought that you would turn your park into the debauchery that it’s becoming,as for me and my family we will go elsewhere.
Disney was created for imagination and out of REAL life history. Just like alot of things have always have the concept of. Disney, just like several other things, has been around and there wasn’t issues until the past few years. People look for any reason to “be offended”. People are going way too far with changing everything that has to do with history etc because they claim racism. Grow up!
I love this ride! Just like all the rides in Disney. It’s so sad that Disney lets a handful of people ruin it for everyone else. If you don’t like a ride just simply DONT RIDE IT! Don’t be. Smuck and ruin it for thousands of others. Just pass it by. It’s so simple. Just keep walking. Problem solved.
I agree with the majority of the comments.
I guarantee if you spend your time looking for something to be offended by, you will find it!
I am way more “offended” by some of the commercials on TV, than by anything at Disney parks.
If you feel ogled by an inanimate object, you really should seek professional help.
If you are offended, simple solution, don’t ever ride it again. In fact, as a Florida resident, I’d be happy if you never come here again!
No leave it alone people need to get a grip do you think pirates were nice people no if you don’t like it don’t go on it it’s part of the Disney thing leave it alone.
I agree. Leave the ride alone. Actually it would be nice to put back the auction. If you don’t like the ride go ride something else. You can find offense if you’re looking for it. It’s one of our favorite rides.
Rapey? FFS, what is wrong with people. Half the problem, and no offence, it’s outlets like this one reporting on 2 people from twitter being offended like it’s some kind of popular opinion.
Give me a break! Stop with your politically correct crap! It’s PIRATES! What do you think they did back then??? Plundered, stole whatever, abused women! We can not rewrite history. It happened, it’s now entertainment, get over yourself. If you don’t like it don’t go! I used to love Disneyland, but since they went “woke” I don’t support them anymore. My choice, but I’m not making a big deal of it, my adult kids still go. Grow up!
Just leave it alone, it’s one of family’s favorite rides. And there’s rides I don’t go one because I don’t like it. Just don’t go on it or anything thing else you don’t like. Why spoil it for others.
Anyone can choose which attractions to see or ride. You are not required to see or ride any attraction. If you are that sensitive to the Disney themes DON’T GO! It is your chose. I have to agree with previous statements I am so tired of the minority have more say than the majority. I am more offended by the inappropriate clothing worn by guest. This should be the upmost concern for all guest and not the attractions. Although some guest feel they are the attraction with their vulgar saying and gestures on their shirts or over exposed body. Disney Parks are a family destination not a Gentlemen’s Club.
I agree with above comments. It doesn’t bode well for this country when a growing group of petty-minded, overly sensitive crybabies who take offense at everything they hear or see that hurts their tender fragile feelings begins to control the behavior of an entire country! America-“land of the free”! People, get over yourselves & find something important to whine& snivel about!
Pirates is a classic that I grew up with. I even bought an authentic $99 pirate hat with dreads at the Pirates gift shop that I wear every Halloween. Now I enjoy the ride with my kids & they love it as well. If you are offended by the ride, don’t go. Don’t complain & ruin it for the thousands & thousands of guests who adore this classic ride.
Not only WERE there such pirates… there still are. Who wants to take a cruise around the Horn of Africa? Who remembers the old Jewish man being shoved into the ocean in his wheelchair in front of his pleading family? The Achille Larry (sp?) was just one of many examples. Ships large and small continue to be attacked by pirates, Somalian and others, who rape, pillage, and plunder the loot. If they don’t like the stereotype, stop being it. The woke activists are ruining everything that hurts their feelings rather than fixing the real problem. Disney is paying for erasing our childhood innocence to please insecure “adults.”
HOW do I view all comments? I get the article & then when i click on “show comments”, it only gives me the last 5-10. I then click on “show older comments” & it goes back to the article. Continuous loop.
You don’t like it, then you know – DONT RIDE IT AGAIN! So tired of this BS. It’s part of Disney! Open your own amusement park if you don’t like it. Smh.
Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my family’s favorite rides. . I can’t believe how people are so easily offended in this day and age. It would be a real shame to do away with this attraction due to the minority who find it offensive. Maybe have a disclaimer by the attraction explaining what you’ll see inside..
I worked at Disney world in Florida, you people are freaking nuts!! There is nothing wrong with the ride you are just an attention seeker trying to make a name for yourself and ruin the Disney magic for others!! Grow the hell up😤😤😤
HELL NO! It’s the best ride at Disney. It’s an all-time classic. If you are offended by this ride DON’T RIDE IT. Do not prevent future generations from experiencing this amazing ride because YOU feel offended. It’s a minimal opinion compared to the masses. Go somewhere else and leave Disney alone. It belongs to America not YOU.
The ride should be changed back to it’s original incarnation and left alone. If you are offended by The Pirates of the Caribbean ride then you obviously have no idea what pirate’s were like. You should find your safe space and leave rides to people with a spine.
Everything is offensive these days, spend more time telling people about your Big Feelings, then actually doing something worth talking about. So now I find my self offended, by being told what i can/can not say , by being told that someone else “feelings” are more valid than mine. By having things being taken away because they are Woke, when the whole time everyone can just stay in their own lane and avoid things they didn’t care for….. No one has a problem doing that before.
My favourite ride. Its loosely based on historical background of what life was in time of pirates. We should learn from history not try to remove it. Also this is a Disney ride so you will only find things upsetting if you look for it. Stop psycho analysing things and just accept this for what it’s meant to be a fun ride. If you don’t like or approve of it don’t do it.
I hate roller coasters but don’t think it’s my right to tell everyone else they shouldn’t ride them or that they should all be banned because I don’t like them.
OH FOR WALT’S SAKE! People need to get a freaking grip! If you’re offended by inanimate objects or the ride or just pirates in general get some help! Ride something else or visit the other parks! God I’m sick and tired of this crap!
The point blank fact remains if your a snowflake your gonna be offended by every lil thing and it doesnt matter what it is….. sides isnt florida hot, surprised snowflakes dont melt lmao GTFO and ride something different and leave the classics alone…. also if agree if you feel ogled by a damn inatimate object you need a shrink not a disney vacation! News fllash pirates werent nice its bad enough twilight ruined vampired with rhe sparkle sparkle and now they want a politically correct pirate that lives according to law and is nice! News flash that violates what the core of pirate is….. how about we just leave stuff alone and stop erasing history so we arent doomed to.repeat it!

Keep the pirates of the Caribbean ride alone. Pirates weren’t nice or pretty like the movies shows them to be. Stop letting the people, whom are always looking for stuff wrong ,ruining the fun and joy of others. They need to grow up and stop trying to rule the world.
I would not change a thing. It’s always been my favorite ride. It’s fun. It’s time we stop cowering down to sissies who are offended by their own shadows. You can’t please evetyone and if you took a poll, the vast majority of people would say “Leave it alone!”.
Hookay, So what will the generations who lack humor laughter, imagination, and are full of agendas and prejudices come up with next? Perhaps Ludicrus is just a Rapper …
Now I have heard everything – must be HELL!! Living with a person who believes a Disney ride was a bit “rapey” & a puppetron type pirate was giving her the eye. Did you think it was going to stalk you after the ride? Please!!!.
People if you don’t like something then don’t watch it, buy it, visit with it – but don’t try to censor it for those of us that know good clean fun when we see it.
Leave the Pirates ride alone, put back in the bride auction, bet it was great. I ride that ride right after it 1st opened in Anehiem, California. Thought the ride & The Haunted Masion were great. My best friend & I actually rode both of them twice that day!
You have got to be kidding me , you actually think a Disney ride is “rapey” & one of the puppetron figures was giving you the “eye” – seriously? Did you make that complaint with a straight face? Did you think the puppet would stalk you after the ride? People like you should stay home – must be hard living with someone like you.
Disney surely has more of us that like this ride than don’t – please Disney leave the ride alone. In fact, bring back the bride auction. Who in their right mind takes an offense to that – did a crazed bride hold everyone at gun point until this auction was removed?
Grossmint High School had Senior Day there – My best friend & I went, we rode the Pirates & the Haunted Mansion rides three times that day we had such a blast.
Please leave the pirates of the Caribbean ride alone , it’s not real , but it is real history, if you don’t like it,please don’t ride it, I wish they would have left it the way it was, my opinion, we all have them
We got stuck on Pirates once for about thirty minutes.
There was no stress but after a while people started yelling “Turn off the music!” You can only Yo-ho-Yo-ho for so long.
If ppl don’t like the ride, “THEN WHY RIDE IT!” It only takes a few, small amount of ppl to ruin it for the mass! Leave it alone and change it back! The whole point of Disneyland even existing was so that ppl could go with their kids to a park they could enjoy together. Maybe the CEOs need to rethink if opening a park that is fun for kids & Parents to enjoy together, yet at the same time learning a bit of history while removing us from the real world. That was all part of the imagination of Disney…kind of one reason also, there’s a tomorrowland, that’s where change should be. I would remove the Indiana Jones ride bfore this one. 🫠😥😲
I Am 72 years old and have been going to Disney forever! Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite ride. If it needs servicing then service it , update it, but leave it alone. We all love it. IF you don’t like the ride. Don’t ride it! so sick of people wanting to make Bad remarks about everything in this world. Lately it is fun!
TOTTAĹY agree with you…. Don’t like it then keep your butts off the ride…
Nothing wrong with this ride at all….
I have enjoyed this ride since 1975, and I have been NO PROBLEM WITH IT AT ALL…. EVERYONE WHO COMPLAINS NEEDS TO STOP….
IT’S A RIDE THAT MY FAMILY HAS ENJOYED, AND LOVED PIRATE’S OF THE CARIBBEAN.
PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP…. There are so many people who just like to make an issue about the littlest thing’s….. Maybe it’s the alphabet one’s making complaints LIKE THEY DO ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN…..
Its like watching television. Different strokes for different folks. If you dont like it, dont ride it! People need to get over themselves. Everything isnt about them. Leave the ride as it is. Liked it before any changes. Just alot of fun.
Enough with changing Disney for your feelings, the world doesn’t revolve around you, if you don’t like it don’t go ,you have the whole world to explore
If it offends you, don’t ride it. Get real people. Everything offends YOU. your what’s wrong with this country. Go hide somewhere, you offend me. Just my opinion. I love ALL of Disneyland. I’ll protest it’s closure always if you close it because of uneducated brainwashed patrons who need to move to a socialists atmosphere, there they sit back and let there Government hold there hands and make everything OK. They don’t understand the word FREEDOM.
AWESOME comment…. You are ABSOULITY right…. Don’t understand these CRAZY PEOPLE who most likely COMPLAIN about everything under the sun…. I’m 65, and it seems like certain people have the need to see, and hear what they interpret as wrong…
THEY are ALL NUTS stay off the ride!!!!!
People – Get over the mass sensitivity!!! Pretty soon all parks, amusement parks, and monuments will be non existent based on those that cry over reality!!!
Where can I go to say I would be offended if the ride was to be closed? I’m offended that we keep having to make stupid changes to things because some stupid person is offered over a ride. This ride should ONLY be changed to improve the ride not because of some stupid person who is offended by EVERYTHING.
The communists won’t be happy until everything we the people hold dear to our hearts is gone, and we are in chains, talk about Slavery, Wake up America, we are coming to the end of Freedom
Good grief! Stop catering to those few complainers. Most sensible folks know it’s just fun on a ride. If theyre offended in some way, they can skip it next time they’re at Disneyland. I’m sad the ride was already changed.
If you are someone that gets offended easily, STAY HOME AND NEVER GO OUT!!! Put yourself in a bubble away from everything. It’s the only way you can be happy. And leave Disney alone. Us normal people that know how to live and have fun want to do just that.we don’t want you in our parks..etc. And we are sick and tired of you whining about everything in life. Leave us be to enjoy stuff and stay put. You aren’t privileged you think you are.
I strongly think that Pirates of the Caribbean shouldn’t be shut down permanently because it’s not only a historic ride for Disneyland but Disney as a company. So many generations grew up with this ride as a part of their childhood, my mother included, and I would hate to see that experience taken away from future generations of children. Also, I understand that people can feel offended by things but in recent years the “woke” and politically correct groups have erased things from our culture and childhoods because they deem it as offensive, which will lead to us not only losing our culture but our history. I believe that it’s best for people to be challenged and made to think for themselves by something they see as offensive because it shows that there are some harsh truths to reality and the world but it also helps us grow instead of younger generations being coddled and sheltered from the real world, which they’ll need to learn to face someday eventually.
AWESOME comment…. You are ABSOULITY right…. Don’t understand these CRAZY PEOPLE who most likely COMPLAIN about everything under the sun…. I’m 65, and it seems like certain people have the need to see, and hear what they interpret as wrong…
THEY are ALL NUTS stay off the ride!!!!!
I have written that ride even gotten stuck on it didn’t complain a bit these people these snowflake alphabet people need to quit trying ruining things for everybody if you don’t like it quit writing it you don’t want to go to Disneyland don’t go to Disneyland but stop trying to ruin things for everybody else. It’s an amusement park right get over it
No more changes… to anything! People need to get a thicker skin and quit being hyper sensitive. If something offends you, then don’t go anymore. Tired of everyone being the victim.
Sometimes a ride breaks down. It happens everyday somewhere. Not the end of the world. Maybe after a long wait, bring the people out of the ride by the emergency exit. If you know that you can’t get it fixed quickly then ya move them out. I wouldn’t want to be stuck for 2 hours. Cuts into riding other rides.
I would like to see the original ride put back. That’s how pirates acted, it’s just a ride. I liked seeing the “Bride” auction, think it was funny. Put it back. It’s an awesome ride. It’s been there forever and needs to STAY there!
For the people who find it offensive, DON’T RIDE IT!!! There are plenty of other rides to go on. Stop trying to push your views on the rest of us.
I’m sure the people who want it to stay where it is outweigh the ones complaining about it. Nobody is forcing you to go on it. The majority of people Love the ride. My first time riding it was with my Great Grandmother and now I have taken my grandchildren on it.
Disney: Please leave the ride alone. It needs to Stay.
Couldn’t agree more with all the statements advocating to leave the ride alone and keep it as it is (or better yet how it was to begin with). Seems like everytime one turns around there’s another “victo-crat” whining that they’re offend by the most innocuous triviality. The fact that Disney (and other enterprises) keep capitulating to these whiner’s every perceived offense is the real tragedy. Constantly trying to be all things to all guests even at the expense of the quality of the experience, all in the name of avoiding any potential miniscule loss of revenue. I’ve had enough, no more trips to Disney anything.
I am tired of these complaints! Stay home, go to your local county park where no one will offend you. This is entertainment and for some Pirates are one of their favorite ride. There is no way to make everyone happy. this is what I call an ICON of a ride
I think the women chasing the pirates with their own weapons was a funny change. I like the addition of Jack Sparrow. I loathe the Change to the auction scene. If you get a “rapey” feeling from robot, you need to examine your life choices.
You guys are so, so strange for assuming “woke” people or “alphabet” people are the ones complaining about it. You can’t seriously blame everything on a group. Using one group of people as an escape goat sounds very familiar. And it’s about Disney? If you guys are really over 40+ don’t you guys have other things to worry about than an old park? Change will happen whether you want to or not. I enjoy the ride. I don’t think the animatronics are offensive. But you guys have to get your blood pressure in check or something. Maybe it’s a brain thing where this causes you outrage. It’s really not that serious. Once you’re gone it’ll change completely.
Leave it alone! If you are offended then simply don’t ride it! It’s history! You know pirates! Just say NO to woke! Remember it’s Walts creation and design.
Since these are Pirates they will have plundering and mayhem. There was nothing wrong with Splash Mountain either. Not one bit racist. There were no human beings in the ride, just Briar Rabbit and his Briar Patch friends.
That’s right leave it sll lol one, it takes you to a time when that was life whether embolished but fun, I first went on that ride in 1970, and when ever I go to Disneyland that’s one of my go to rides. Keep it as is!
Hey offended whiners!! Instead of trying to put YOUR rules on things that have provided numerous generations fun and family memories, why don’t you find the other offended whiners and open your own amusement park based on your beliefs?!? No rides that are too fast, too scary, too slow, too spinny, too high, too colorful, too historical, too princess-y…nothing but a bunch of soapboxes for you and your people to stand on and whine about how this world is so offensive to your delicate nature and how it owes you for making you so miserable by being so imperfect for YOU! THAT sounds like a fun vacation destination (though it’s exactly what you’re trying to turn Disney parks into!)!
And Disney…grow a spine, remember what has made you so successful throughout your history, and STOP giving in to the whiny minority!!
I’ve been on the Pirates ride several a l times overvthe past several decades. And have seen a few changes as needed. Yes the Bride sale is gone as is the pirate chasing the young bench around the tank e. But hey. These are pirates. Right? Even in the films they are not the most politically correct of Disney characters. As for the lady who felt they were ogglong her— hey lady! They are not alive, no matter how real they might look.
I hope the the ride continues for many, many more years.
Best ride ever. Some people need a life. Fun entertainment just like the movie. Leave it alone for the people that love it. If you don’t approve don’t ride it
To all the folk that are appalled by what they see and feel insulted by any Disney attractions, it’s a (for now) free nation.
Do yourself and we stout hearted patrons a good deed and eschew any further visits to Disney attractions. You’ll save money and enjoy books more. Thsnk you.
I think this world has a lot bigger problems to worry about than a pirate on an amusement ride. I reiterate if you don’t like it walk past it don’t ride it and you won’t be offended. Put all that energy into helping homeless. Not pirates!!!
Omg. Someone thought one of the pirates was oggling them. Really. I was stuck in that ride for hours about 10 years ago. The song got old but no one died.
Leave the ride alone. It’s a culture that happened long ago and no one is hurt by it now. It’s funny and the pirate chasing the woman in a circle was funny. I’m a women and I’m not offended by. I love the addition of Jack Sparrow! Leave it alone. If the rides in other countries are offensive to their people and not riding it, fine; replace those but leave America’s alone!
It’s freakin pirates!! Omgosh what is going on? U rode it, how just shutting up. What’s next? Tinkerbell. Get a life, u don’t like it don’t ride it. My feelings don’t stop cuz yours begins. Feeling entitled, your not!
Don’t like the ride, DONT GO ON IT!!! Leave Disney alone already… So many CANCEL CULTURE MORONS have ruined enough already… You don’t like something, don’t do that thing, it’s as simple as that… Here’s the deal, we won’t tell you how to raise YOUR children, (even though some of you need it) we won’t tell you what gender to be, we don’t tell you who you are as a person, SO LEAVE YS ALL THE HELL ALONE ALREADY!!! STIP RUINING EVERYONE ELSE’S LIVES!!!
I’m getting sick of all these “offended” people that wants the world to cater to them.. cancel something cause “they” don’t like it… Since when does life cater to anyone??? If you don’t like a movie don’t watch it, if you don’t like a ride, don’t ride it etc!!
Leave the rides alone… my goodness. This cancel culture attitude needs to stop already. They are ruining so many things. What’s next? Getting rid of Mickey Mouse??? Smh
For the love of God, it’s a ride, it’s somewhat historical and if you think the pirates are ogling women you’ve got a problem. It’s history of how things were too, stop erasing history!!!!!
Omg people need to get over themselves. It’s a freaking ride that has been around a long. Newsflash: things like that actually happened. Don’t like it, don’t look. Or just don’t ride and move along for the rest of us who don’t get offended by nonsense.
LOL to the guest that felt ogled on a Disney ride what a sad disturbed person you must be. And closing that ride just makes me even happier that I havent spent a nickel in that wike pedophile park in years
I would leave pirates of the Caribbean as it is they’ve already destroyed the ride with all the new updates as it is I missed the old pirates of the Caribbean the way it was there was only one thing that should have changed on it and it was probably the woman in the barrel besides that the ride was perfect and amazing I’m sad if they ever shut that down that’ll be the death of Disney for me
Leave the ride alone. I love that ride. It always cheers me up. Also go back to school and learn your history. THEY ARE PIRATES!!!! For goodness sake that’s what pirates did and please could you stop trying to change history just because it offends you.
This is ridiculous if you don’t like the ride then don’t get on it. It supposed to be funny. What’s next their going to put a shirt and pants on the skeleton because it’s naked or the pirate woman a dress from neck to ankle because it’s showing to much. It’s ridiculous how people get offended for such little thing. Just don’t get on the ride. The ride supposed to make you laugh.
Agreed! If people are offended by the ride which is based off the movie in this new era….. then maybe you shouldn’t watch the series!!! Pirates were brutal and sexist…. It was their way! Remember this was history and as we all should know, we cannot sugarcoat history! Don’t like it… too bad; it happened so deal with it! People
Get too bent out of shape over the stupidest things that really don not make any difference in our day to day lives! It’s entertainment…. Get real folks!
Disney is bowing to the raciest sexest and comunist woke way of thinking and it’s going to cost them 13 billion to please a social convection that makes up 12 percent of the viewers that don’t even go to the movies or entertainment spots. Go woke go broke!
The endless list of sensitivities these days is exhausting! Maybe the solution is for the over sensitive whiners to stay home in their self controlled environments.
Hey snowflakes if you think your going to offended stay off the rides and let the millions if people around the world that actually enjoy the ride and see it as just a ride and not a political statement ,and are not offended, by everything in life or history enjoy the ride,without you snowflakes ruining it for everyone
Pirates SHOULD NOT CLOSE!!! People today don’t have a CLUE!!! It’s always been my favorite ride. I have kids and grandkids and they’ve always loved it.
I enjoyed the POTC ride when I went to Disneyland… I was about 4 months pregnant with my son at the time, & 1 month away from turning 18… Wanted to eat in the restaurant, but it’s so expensive!!!
This closure occurrence happened on other rides while I was there, with guests stuck on rides! I hear it happens a lot.
Planning to take my daughter in a few years, God willing!
All I have to say to these “woke” dumba**es is, if you don’t like the ride and it offends you, then don’t go on it! So tired of this small group of people who want to change things that show how something actually was during that time. Go live in your controlled content bubble and leave the rest of the population alone who actually talk to their children and have an open dialog on what things were like during those times.
Tired of these people trying to ruin things for everyone else. This is America where you can have your own opinion. If you go somewhere and you don’t like something then don’t go, pretty simple resolution. We don’t all have to think like you, and I feel bad for your kids as they are the ones that are so sheltered that they don’t even know how to function in the real world. You do you and the rest of us will continue to enjoy the ride as it is. Was bad enough when Disney had to change it the first time because of your crowd.
Those who are complaining will always complain no matter what you do. Most of them are not happy unless they are. They will complain the sky is not blue enough, or it is too blue. Nothing makes them happy except whining about something. Disney is in the business of trying to please as many people as it can. Sometimes, Disney gets a little carried away with itself trying to please everyone.
Please keep that ride open I wrote it for the first time when I was 5 years old I will be 40 years old this year and it is still my favorite ride at Disney world clearly from reading the comments that I have read the selection of people that want it closed or have complaints is very small compared to the people that do not have a problem with it and do not want it closed down don’t change something that’s been so profitable and so favorable to all of your customers and consumers because of a couple people who couldn’t stand it or got offended they’re not worth it
People just need to stop finding something to be offended by. If I don’t like something, I don’t go there or on a particular ride. I stopped going to Disney year’s ago because they started giving into the very small percentage of people who are offened, instead of them telling them sorry, but the largest majority of our guest like it the way it is. Disney’s wokeness and giving in has cost them.
IT IS A RIDE!!! If a bunch of people started complaining about the roller coasters offending them because they are scary would you shut all those down?? Get over it…don’t go on the ride if you don’t like it. Grow up people. And Disney…quit bending over and kissing these whiners butts.
I can’t stand “It’s a small world” ride, but I know thousands others love it. So you know what? Instead of protesting and throwing a fit to shut it down to get my way I simply…get this self-centered whiners…I simply…don’t ride it and enjoy other options that suit me. Try doing that instead…
Change it back to the way it was originally! Why do people always want to rewrite history? Those things happened and Disney presents them in very sanitized and family friendly way. Aren’t there more important things to worry about in this world?
Yes! Exactly! Shut it down and fix it back to how it was. If it’s “triggering” to some people or take offense to it.. Don’t ride it…I go to Disneyland to escape from reality. I think we deal with cancel culture enough on a daily basis.
It is a ride! For Heaven’s sake! Pirates Definately should stay open. It is truly a favorite and been going over 50 years. If people are offended. Don’t ride! Why do always 1-2 people ruin things for millions. Leave it be! It is history of Walt! Just like It’s a Small World. Pick another park people if you don’t like it.
Leave the POTC ride alone, WD would be astonished at all this woke crap! Don’t like the ride, don’t ride, simple enough. Disney needs to quit crumbling under all this woke garbage!
If they closed that ride for good, I’d NEVER go back to that over priced county fair. Anyone who is offended by that ride shouldn’t leave their house without a bubble wrap suit, ear plugs and a sleep mask.
Totally agree. It’s pretend, enjoy the how real the pirates look. My favorite I liked to point out to new comers was the guy on the wall above your head where the auction was. You could see the hair on his legs that was so life like. Those that are so easily offended should stay home where they can control everything and see only what they want. Stop ruining it for those that have enjoyed it for 56 years. Disney can put warning signs. .”Those easily offended do not ride.” Of course they will need to have it on all the rides because everything will offend someone!
I agree! this drama filled era of people pushing their baggage on everyone is smelly – ride offends you, don’t ride it. no cancel culture BS for me. leave the magic alone. ugh.
OMG! Give me a break…bring back the bride auction. Everyone needs to quit being a whiner. It’s an accurate portrayal of those times. Changing it is like altering history. People need to get over themselves or just don’t go on the dang ride. The world is going to hell in a handbasket because of people trying to make others convert to their way of thinking, when all they need to do is avoid the things they don’t like. Like if you’re a vegan, don’t go to a steakhouse. Don’t like abortions, don’t get one. Don’t like weed, don’t smoke it. Don’t like guns, don’t buy one. Easy peasy way of life.
Leave the Park as it was made and intended to be a fun Place to be. And dont let other people that dont under stand its content or why the works perfectly as it is. Please dont change nothing at all.
Cry me a River!! If it offends you, Don’t ride it!! It’s that simple! Save more spaces in line. Bunch of Idiots! Don’t I’ll be going Disneyland anytime soon!!
So a guest felt the ride was “rapey” because of the way audio animatronic characters looked at them? Are they serious? Are they suffering from some kind of mental disturbance that makes them feel that machines have thoughts and feelings? How do they get through life? I assume their lives must be very sheltered otherwise they would be offended on a daily basis by not only machines but real people as well. Their feelings about the audio animatronic figures has nothing to do with how the majority of people perceive them. Smh. Incredible.
Please keep that ride going if I was to go to Disneyland that would be my First Ride I just love it. If people don’t like it to bad stay off it… Please Mr Walt Disney did not intend to offend anyone.. ❤️❤️❤️
Cry me a River!! If it offends you, Don’t ride it!! It’s that simple! Save more spaces in line. Bunch of Idiots! Don’t I’ll be going Disneyland anytime soon!!

I LOVE Pirates of the Caribbean >> I find it comical, entertaining and I always ride it, every time I am at Disney World.
It’s entertainment !!!!!
I miss some of the other attractions, Disney has changed/altered or eliminated……
I like this ride at Disney and if it offends you do not ride it. Some people need to get a life and stop complaining about everything. Disney, I understand about trying new things, but not at the hands of going “woke” or changing beloved rides for a few group of people. I was invited to go to Disney last year and passed because of how Disney has changed in the last several years…keep the ride!!!
Leave Pirates of the Caribbean open and as is. This is a favorite ride for most people. Disneyland is quickly being destroyed by cow-towning to the few that are offended by just about everything.
Disney needs to put their foit down. And stop catering to everyone. They should know better that you can’t please everyone. And who ever doesn’t like it. Just don’t go or ride. My great grandma loved this ride and found nothing offensive. Please let this ride continue on. Ibwould live my grandson to enjoy it as much as I did.
I’m 64 and I’m so tired of these thin skinned fools need to get a life. Disney needs to get back to it’s roots and quit messing up memories of my childhood 😔
If people get that easily offended then don’t ride or don’t go to Disneyland and try to ruin it for others ! This ride has been there for years and too many changes had been made already for whiners .
Bunch of uneducated Idiots with TISSUE Paper for skin, when it comes to anything they possibly can find some moronic excuse to take offense to. Well I could “Fart in their general Direction” and they’d find a way to complain and nag and try to shut down classic events. Those Fools probably don’t even know what movie that is from…. who cares it’s considered one of the best comedies of the last 50 years.
Whoever thinks that ride is “Rapey”, or “Racicist” … needs an actual education, and honestly…. just to grow up and be an adult. They are pathetic.
If you can be offended by anything in Disneyland, GO HOME. No one is making anyone stay there. No one made you voluntarily drive to Disneyland. I know I go & took my kids to Disneyland – to be transported to a place of fantasy. Where everyone is kind to each other, and to see genuine happiness and smiles, a place of fantasy. People get offended by this? Please stay home.
Buz killers If you don’t like it don’t go on it! I am so sick of people being offended grow up and stop being so self centered go to Legoland or something
There is nothing rapey about pirates of the caribbean ride, it’s at a family amusement park. With all do respect anyone who feels the ride is in anyway felling rape needs to speak to a counselor because they have issues
Everything offends someone so shut it all down, theme parks, tourist attractions, travel in general, seal the borders, militarize the police, ban all movement beyond that of work and sustenance…. Biden wants, dems want it, just go with it.
Pirates of the Caribbean is a magical ride @ Disney parks Don’t let a hand full of Idiots try to change a thing Keep the boats moving right along. Great ride the way it is Disney
First of all, “wench” has never been a sexist term unless you’re living in the 1800s or something which, last I checked, we are NOT. There are words worse than that and second of all, that lady who claimed its a “rapey” ride clearly was smoking weed or some other stimulant at the time that probably had her tripping on acid or something. She needs her head checked and needs to get off that crack or whatever it was she smuggled in. I would never visit Disney parks again if they closed one of my favorite rides. It’s bad enough they ruin my most favorite ride of all around my birthday with that boring Nightmare Before Christmas crap. Like everyone else said, don’t like it, don’t ride it. Or watch a video online of it before you go and get offended and ruin it for everyone else. Kthanksbye.
I wonder what that woman who felt ogled on a ride looks like. She must not get many men looking at her in real life.
And the one who said it was rapey- really?
These people must live in fear of everything. Sad
They need to stay out of public parks etc. All they do is ruin it for everyone else
Just went on the ride today in Disney Tokyo. Enjoyed every minute of it along with the 1000s of people who were lining up for it. Plenty of other rides available if you don’t like this one. If people are so easily offended, just stay home.
People need to get a grip. If you don’t like the ride don’t go on it. This is 2024 not 1924. Pirates is a staple of Disneyland. It’s one of my most favorite rides. I’m so sick and tired of everything offending people.
Pirates ride was my childhood favorite. I love that ride. I haven’t gone to Disney in a long time, and have been hoping to go again soon, but why bother if someone can just ruin it and get all the good rides shut down.
It’s a ride, you MORONS!! It’s supposed to be FUN!! Get a freaking life!!! Anyone that thinks they’re being “ogled” by a doll is a complete idiot. And whether you like it or not, that’s very likely what life was like and how pirates acted in the 1600s. Go ahead and stick your heads in the sand, you overly sensitive, politically correct IDIOTS. “Cancel” pirates! That cannot and will not change history, though. They existed, and they weren’t nice people. Deal with it!!!
Disneyland is a place where people go to forget about life’s drama and problems. Please stop going there to to create new problems and unneeded drama. It is perfect just the way it was/is. If you are looking for something to complain about, stay home.
I worked on the opening summer crew of Pirates of the Caribbean. There is nothing wrong with what is displayed in the attraction. Tell these snowflakes that complain about everything to go, pound sand and go into their safe room and with their little blanket. Pirates will forever be one of the best attractions at any Disney resort.
I love that ride. It is one of my favorite rides since childhood. People need to get a grip and stop being offended by every little thing. If you don’t like the ride, stay off of it or stay home stay in your miserable bubble. You are whats wrong with this world. . Don’t ruin it for others.
It’s an amusement park ride with a tongue-in-cheek depiction of pirates from the past. It isn’t any more contraversial than any old Error Flynn movie. If you are so easily offended over something this trivial and insignificant, don’t go on the ride.
There are more important issues in the world today to be concerned about people.
I wish that they would change it back to the original but keep jack sparrow, that was a nice addition. People sometimes forget that the idea of the ride is for the experience of getting a glimpse of what it might have been like back then. And be thankful that the world has changed in most places.
As for getting stuck on a ride for two hours, I would have been furious for being left there for that long without a way to be evacuated off the ride. I sure hope Disney compensated those guest with at least a free meal at one of their fancy restaurants or one of the guests choosing, maybe a fast pass good for the rest of the day to all of the rides in the park, or even a free ticket for another day to one of the parks. At least it is typically nice and cool in the pirates of the caribbean ride and not blistering hot and not outside getting cooked by the sun or rained on.
Why people are acting like this. Disney has been perfect since day one . Nobody has ever made a complaint before. The generation now need to stop living in a bubble and enjoy life.
Everything is not about rape and abuse. Pirates of the Caribbean has been the best ride and nothing offensive.
There isn’t anything wrong with this ride. Isn’t it based somewhat on history and fact? People are looking for ways to be offended and just need to get over it.
Come to think about it, imagination is offensive and should be banned from the collective. This is the accumulating poison of social media, and people living their lives on it.
This ride was always fun! Who doesnt want to be a pirate or wench? I’m more offended at the beach or walking in the mall than I am with this ride. geez!
Couldn’t agree more. People get too offended too easy nowadays. Leave the ride alone. Its been like that since it opened. There is nothing wrong with the ride. They are too afraid to offend other people that they dont think about the people who DONT get offended. Don’t get rid of such a popular attraction because some people can’t handle it. If you dont like the ride then dont go on it.
Please keep the Pirates Carriban If people don’t like the ride they can on different ride. There is nonthing wrong with the ride it’s about pirates. That ride fun. It’s good family boat ride. Thank you have good day!😃
Exactly! I am beyond sick to f the extreme wokeness, whining, sensitivity training, cry rooms. People have lost their minds and just pick everything apart looking for something to complain and call out as “offensive”
You are so right. People are so wimpy now a days. This ride shows history & truth. Pirates such as these did exist. These times are a part of history. If people would take on the responsibility of some of their children’s education, they could teach their kids some history. Look up real pirates on the Internet & learn something themselves.
Don’t change a thing!!! Why do people seem to think they have the right to complain about something that took all the imaginings of the people that came up with the ride?????
Just sit back, enjoy and keep your mouth shut!!!!!!
Why would they “sink the ship” over one mechanical issue. Stop try to pick fly poop out of pepper. We have enough whinning going on about ever little thing. Don’t add to the strife and grow up.
So sick of these mental patients offended by nonsense. They Love a man in rainbows hanging his package in a kids face or man pretending to be a woman in a sports event beating up women, but animatronic ride offends them. We need more meds in USA
Please Do Not shut down this attraction. Why? Because of some babies out there? This was life back then, let’s face reality & not erase it.
Keep this attraction!!
Here we go again!! Trying to re-write history! If you take it down it does not mean it didn’t happen!! This is a part of history. Learn from it, grow from it. No matter how hard people try, you cannot erase that pirates were (are) real. My own family history has a pirate tale in it! Two young boys, 5 and 6 years old were either captured or hid on Blackbeard’s ship during the French Hugonaut War. They stayed on the ship until they turned 18 and 19 and were let go on different ports in America.
Does this make me not enjoy Mr. Disney’s amazing imagination in capturing this moment in life? No!! Not in the least!! It is time to pull up our big boy or girl pants and just enjoy our diverse and rich histories (that all come with a skeleton or two in the closet)!!!
I visited WDW in March. I went on Pirates two times. I guess it’s the pirates life for me! It’s fun, a bit silly, and not offensive.
You walk away humming the song! It’s a boat ride in an amusement park, not an evil plot to abuse anyone.
I for one hope Disney does not close this classic ride.
It’s supposed to be a fantasy time ride , and it is for Millions . Maybe it could use an update, but to allow the WOKE regime to undermine it is Wrong from the word Go . Leave Disneyland as it’s founders planned .
I urge Disney to make a greater effort to completely ruin itself trying to be totally inoffensive and inclusive. Most normal people are repulsed by what disney has become. I hope to see disney out of business in the near future.
They shouldn’t close the ride at all. They should put back everything from the original ride and tell the people who don’t care for it to find something else to ride. Have a great day.
DISNEY IS FOR KIDS! Why are all of these whiny adults trying to voice an opinion about a matter that has nothing to do with them. The kids aren’t going to be finding it anything that the parents aren’t telling them that it is!
I want to hear what the kids had to say. If you’re an adult and you are “offended” over animatronics. Seek help.
What is wrong with you people if the ride offends you don’t ride it but don’t ruin it for everyone who does. I really sick and tired of all the people who want to to destroy the things others enjoy for the their own selfish reasons . Get over yourself you are not that important we all have things that offend us but we are grown up enough to deal with it.
I am an annual pass holder at Disney World Orlando, been one for about 15 years. One of my favorite attractions is Pirates of the Caribbean. I get so immersed in the scenes, the animatronics, and the period that the scenes that some people may find offensive I find as representative of the period.
Go woke and go broke! Disney is offending the majority of its diehard fans with stupid ride changes. We stopped going to Dland after they ruined both jungle cruise and splash mountain. Don’t PC Disneyland anymore please!!!
With this many guests somebody is always going to get offended about something. If you worry about getting offended, don’t come. If one or two guests get offended out of thousands that’s just happens. This woke stuff
got to stop
This is ridiculous. Pirates were a bunch of drunkards and scallywags in the 1700 hundreds and should be portrayed as such. What next a pirate in high heals and a tutu called they/them???
If you don’t like it then don’t ride it. I am so over this mess. Why do we continue to bend over to keep the minority happy and tell the majority to suck it up?
They should have never changed the ride in the first place. That’s how things were back then. People are such whiners and sissies these days! For someone to think they are being ogled by an animatronic, that is definitely a YOU issue. Then to go as far as call it “rapey”. Oh my gosh. WTAF?
It’s still my favorite ride from the original Disneyland rides. I wouldn’t change anything as what is imagined there quite likely happened at some time in the 1700’s. Sad so many are offended by the past, when we hide the past, we are often doomed to repeat it.
To be honest. They should haver never done anything to the ride and kept it as original as it was before they did anything. I see adding Capt. Jack though. People are so dumb today and so easily offended. Life was so much better a few years back. Many need to grow some wavous kahonies. If I spelled it right. I love Disney, but they cave into the smaller voice to often
We got stuck on that ride at Disney World in 1991 & they had us all climb out onto where the workers go to fix the animatronics it was weird but it didn’t take that long!
Ya gotta be kidding me. People need to get over themselves and move on with life. How can an animatronic pirate “ogle” anyone? How is it that it’s OK that if someone us offended it’s all of a sudden everyone’s problem?
I have never been but I feel like this entire world has gone to soft. Just cause your offended now everyone else has to side with you? I cannot stand the world we live in today. Everyone is offended and what happened to the world won’t revolve around you. You need to adjust to the world mentality? Craziness
I don’t believe anything should have been changed. If it offends you don’t ride it. If you look back at historical events it is a mild depiction of how pirates truly lived their lives. It is for amusement only and has always been one of my favorite rides at Disneyland.

That would be the last straw for us. If Disney freaking closes this ride That would be such an injustice for the Hundreds of thousands That love it and have loved it for many years
Some people need to have their heads examined if they are offended by a robot in a ride. I am sick and tired of people who are offended, don’t go on the ride. Don’t see the movie don’t listen to the song. They are not the voice of of the majority.
What would I do?
Put it back to the way it was!!!
Jack Sparrow was a change that made sense, but that’s it. Some people are seriously too sensitive. It’s getting nuts.
If you don’t like it, don’t go on it. Stop forcing minority views onto others. And, Disney needs to stop changing things.
Bring it back to the original. I do want to go to Tokyo and Shanghai, though. This is a must ride every trip. Sometimes it is our only ride of the day.
People need to grow up. If you don’t like something don’t do it. Why is it we have to go along with what a few, get their feelings hurt. We’ve been going to Disney Land for many many years. Because we like it. We’re big kids, if we find something we don’t like we just don’t do it. We don’t cry and expect everybody to go along with what we want.
Pirates has been a family, extended family and friends favorite for decades and not a single one of us thinks any changes are necessary. If animated robots somehow offend you maybe you need to look in the mirror and figure out what’s wrong with YOU !
I was born in Anaheim and lived just a few blocks from the Disneyland Hotel,every night at 10:00 we sat around the pool and watched the fireworks. I remember the dancing Mr. Toads wild ride and other favorites, Pirates of the Caribbean stl remains my favorite ride I even had the album.so all you sensitive “woke” people keep your hurt feelings to yourself and let us normal people continue to have fun.
Disney should return Pirates of the Caribbean to its original form. It has never been any better than it was in its first years. There will always be someone to complain about something.
If you’re offended by the content of anything including this ride. Be thankful that you don’t live in those times that they are showing us from the (movie) because you wouldn’t survive . you land lover! Leave it alone for crying out loud.
OMG! Give me a break. Are you for real? I wouldn’t change the ride for anyone! Nobody complained about it when it opened and has been the go to ride when I was a boy. If you don’t like the ride, DON’T go on it again and leave it at that. People these days are a bunch of whiny baby’s that they feel entitled. Hey ruin it for everybody else. Stupid.
People that are offended by Pirates of The Caribbean need to grow a pair and not be so easily offended. There is litterally nothing offensive about the ride.
Are you kidding me? What the heck is wrong with this world when many thousands and millions of people have enjoyed a ride for over 50 years then all of a sudden somebody gets teed off it some goofy animatronic pirate which is been a mainstay for Disneyland For years. For what it’s worth I’ve been going to Disneyland since the 70s and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been there and enjoyed it and lived it to say that’s the last straw for me. These people need to go to sleep and stay home because their actions offend me And I’m sure millions of others. Goodbye Disneyland it was nice Knowing you. And I also apologize to Walt, because he’s probably rolling over in his grave at this moment I am so upset just need to stop.
Restore it! I like the original. Please stop changing things at Disneyland.
We visited a few times a year every year when i was a kid but with all of the changes, i haven’t been back.
Please bring Disneyland back. It’s supposed to be *The Happiest Place on Earth* and right now, it isn’t
The original version in 1967 was already tame to begin with, because showing pirates behaving legitimately like pirates would not have been family-friendly and potentially even traumatizing. So restoring it to the original theme wouldn’t make the ride more authentic anyway, since it was never authentically pirate-like (by design) in the first place.
I cannot believe that 1000 people can be thrilled and 1 person is offended so a ride gets shut down. If it offends you then don’t go on the ride idiot!!! WOW! I can’t get over the stupidity of people and how they feel they are so deserving! What a waste of air people have become. So worried about themselves and not a care about someone else period.
Let the guests be upset or offended because pirates of the Caribbean is a good ride and plus it’s been a ride of the 18s or 19s century so I would say fix it and keep the ride going no need shut it down everyone loves that ride people are mean and rude to anything
For everyone that’s saying this ride is offensive and “rapey”, don’t ride it! I’m fruited of the ultra-minority telling us what we should find offensive and getting stuff canceled. I guess they just don’t understand that you don’t Hanne to look. I love the POC ride. I’ve ridden them both, east coast and west.
Keep it everyone is offended these days by anything,,,Disney needs be way it use to be,,stop changing it ,,the most magical place on earth,,Leave it alone,,screw those miserable people that complain for everything
One of the rides I always go when I visit Disney. If people get offended let them stay home. Stop messing it up for us who don’t always take it personal and want to have a great time anywhere they Go..
Restore it to the original!! I am so fed up with our culture trying to change and hide history. Everyone one is a victim these days…..they are taught that now. What were pirates like….really?
I just got back from a week at Disney World and rode Pirates of the Carribean twice. It has always been one of my favorites at Disneyland and Disney World. I was dissapointed that Disney had closed Splash Mountain……yet another cultural, victim mentality. I loved the Brer Rabbit tales as a child. Keep the rides!
Why do these people ( 3 or 4) always complain about everything and Disney listens ! Why ride it just stay off it ! Maybe you offend other people but Disney doesn’t ask you to leave !
Stop closing rides because some people can’t handle History bad and good that’s the way it was!!! suck it up butter cup!!! grow up !!!! Stop trying to change things to your liking because you are offended!!! GROW UP!!! IT’S A RIDE STUPID YOUNG GENERATIONS WHO THINK THERE SPECIAL.
I second John G”s sentiment. Decades ago people were a much more conservative people and had no issues with the ride. We’re supposed to be a more progressive society but only when it’s convenient for the pansy asses. Get over it and think about the long term. All these changes you are trying to make will have lasting effects and impacts in ways you may not be happy with in the long run.
I say keep it the same who cares if their feeling get hurt the pirates weren’t know to being kind and considerate of people’s feelings back then why are they caring now. And also this movement will fade away soon like the cancel movement and the me too movement. I was born in 1980 I believe if it hurts your feelings then just don’t go back Disney can’t please everyone so quit trying be happy with what you got
If you don’t like the ride and are offended by it then don’t get on it… problem solved. Let the rest if us who have enjoyed it our entire lives ride it in peace and not have to hear the BS.
We agree with Betty. Well said. Have been visiting Florida, for 30+ years. We always head to Magic Kingdom, solely for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean ‘ ride. It’s brilliant fun. If Disney wants
to pander to a very small percentage of people who are complaining for nothing, then no wonder the business is struggling. Foresee more interest and longer admission queues for Universal Studios!🤔😐
If you don’t like the ride and are offended by it then don’t get on it… problem solved. Let the rest if us who have enjoyed it our entire lives ride it in peace and not have to hear the BS.
Cancel culture is out of control. So what if it offends you, it’s easy DON’T RIDE IT. Why does your views have to impact my families favorite ride? My kids and grandparents love Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s amazing people are offended by a Disney ride that’s been around longer than most of them, BUT they aren’t offended by Men in women’s sports? Or Men wearing next to nothing dressed as a female, in little or no clothes walking around little kids at Disney? Yeah makes sense to me.
Seriously a animatronic ride is “rapey” who are these people? That is so ridiculous the few have to ruin it for the many who have enjoyed this attraction for years. What’s next “it’s a small world?” I’m disappointed that Disney has bowed to crap like this!
There has never been anything offensive about the ride . Just a bunch of people looking for something to bitch about or be offended about like a little pansy. Now yeah getting stuck on a ride for several hrs sure ok yeah even I’d get a little upset . Ok shut the ride down make the repairs then reopen it.
OMG! Just don’t ride it if you think it’s offensive!
Some people would probably be offended if they saw a farmer bailing hay because they would think it hurt the grasses feeling by being formed into a little square bale when they really wanted to be a big round bale! Stay home & don’t become a nuisance to society!
I’m so tired of all these “snowflakes” who get offended by so many things! We used to go to Disney World a few times a year when the kids were younger. They loved Pirates of the Caribbean. I never found it offensive. The animation is amazing. As others have said, if the ride offends you DON’T RIDE IT!!
It’s only offensive to thin-skinned liberal pussies that have to take a big steaming piss all over everything that everyone else loves. Here’s a great idea…. you don’t like it? Don’t ride it. But stop trying to force your tender sensibilities on everyone else. Stay in your house.
Nothing should be changed and the ride should definitely NOT BE CLOSED. A lady says she felt “olged” by a robot? She has more serious issues to deal with than a bunch of latex, stainless steel and hydrolic fluid getting “pumped up” over her wishful thinking dazzling beauty. The ride has been around longer than the majority of its riders have been on this planet (what planet some have come from BEFORE reaching earth, I don’t know). There’s no secret to what the ride is about, portrays or has occurring (read as: watch YouTube) so there are no surprises. Not your cup of tea? Fine, don’t go on the ride. Go see the Hall of Presidents and get offended by Bill Clinton for not inhaling, or paying the dry cleaners bill for his stain on the dress. Just remember that if YOU are offended by something, yet no one else is, the problem is with YOU, and not …. whatever.
Is this really who we’ve turned into as a people this makes me sad if you don’t like something too f****** bad stay at home that ride’s been there my whole life who are you to say that it offends you? it wasn’t about you, Disney supposed to be it’s magical place for our children truth isn’t an insult history is not an insult it’s a lesson erasing a lesson guarantees the mistake is repeated
Disney needs to stop worrying about everyone’s cry baby feelings. I grew up with this ride, one of my favorite. Put the ride back to the way it was and for the cry babies “don’t go on the ride!”.
What’s next? Apple pie is gonna offend somebody and then we get rid of apple pie. What is wrong with you? People just leave stuff alone. You don’t like don’t deal withat period morons.
My grandfather built that park. You don’t like it don’t go. Stop trying to change everything. Put your big boy, girl panties on and stop whining. Pretty soon food, medicine and any other thing people want will be offensive. I find it offensive that women are showing body parts my grand kids should not see, men are to stupid to understand that pants go over your rear end. That rape, violence and theft are ok but a ride is not
It’s a ride! If you’re that sensitive I’m surprised you leave the house because God forbid a traffic lights winks at you. People need to get over themselves and stop trying to force their insecurities on to others.
It’s just a ride, and at one time it was how history showed pirates until whiners said it was offensive. Please!! Bunch of whiners, shut up and leave things alone. You feel rapey from an animatronic item? You have issues.
That’s what I’m thinking 🤔 seriously like one of those robotics are going to come down and attack you?? 😒 I’ve loved this ride since I was a little girl.
Pirates has always been one if my favorite rides, its disgraceful that people feel the need to ruin it for everyone because their emotionally a child. Like everyone else says, if you have a problem with it, then don’t get on the ride. They’ve already ruined one classic ride there, please don’t cave and ruin another.
What the heck is offensive? If it offends you, don’t ride it! How much more is this society going to take from a hand full of woke people? Enough is enough! Erg!
We’re raising a bunch of crybabies that take offense at everything that isn’t woke. Disney had better stop catering to this small group of people or they’re going to lose their much larger and richer group of classic Disney fans.
Stay home whiners, you’ve already ruined the ride enough!
I try to understand from other peoples point of view and i dont want anyone to be troubled while in disneyland but the ride is harmless and enjoyed by everyone except for 5% of riders. We shouldnt all have something we enjoy changed or taken away because of other people’s sensibilities. As a kid i loved pirates, so I loved the movies, and in turn this is my favorite ride. If you truly are offended by the ride please dont ride it, why should something i like and ride 10 times when i visit disneyland be shut down when all you have to do is not ride it once when youre there?
I agree whole heartedly with this comment. If you believe it will offend you don’t ride it. I love this ride and I always have since I was a young child.
Seriously rapey is that even a word get over it I’m sick if these liberals allways putting everything down I’m sick if them being offended of EVERYTHING and costing everyone else fun my god it’s a ride NO thay should not close it down
I know not everyone has the same taste in everything, like me ,& my family LOVE it. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl. I think just because some people don’t like it, & want to complain about it, that’s THEIR opinion. The ride shouldn’t have to suffer consequence just because of that. . Why spoil the fun & entertainment for everyone else, who love the ride. The complainers had a not so fun time, now they know not to ride it again.
“Rapey”???? Lady, they’re basically puppets. Their eyes can’t see you. They can’t move from where they are placed. THEY ARE NOT REAL! Liberals need to shut up and show some of that tolerance they brag about so much. And DISNEY NEEDS TO STOP RUINING THE FUN THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS ENJOY AND ONLY A VERY FEW DON’T LIKE. THOSE THAT DON’T LIKE IT, SHOULDN’T RIDE IT.
I’m liberal-ish to a point. But honestly pull your f○☆■€¡~ knickers out of your arse and stop looking for ways to be offended. All of you who get offended by things that are so inconsequential should all live in a colony together and stop ruining other’s fun!
This is one of their best classic rides in the park, if your are going to get offended then you need to stay away from it. It doesnt make sense to get on something that you find offensive anyways
I personally don’t like Disneyland anymore due to being overpriced and overcrowded but if people don’t like an attraction don’t visit it, go to small world or any other attraction. Why do small groups of people want to dictate what the majority enjoy?
RIDICULOUS!! What will be protested next? IT’S A SMALL WORLD?? I am a 76 year old MEXICAN and the first ride I looked for at Disney WORLD was “THE 3 CABALLERS! I loved the ride!! I read somewhere people protested that ride also saying it depicted the Mexicans as drunks and bandits!! GIVE ME A BREAK!! It’s an amusement park!! My opinion is that some people go for the main purpose to see what they can complain about NOT to enjoy the parks!! Stay home and let the rest of us enjoy the parks!! LEAVE DISNEY PARKS ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!!
MAN …THAT RIDE IS A CLASSIC..IF THEY DONT LIKE IT…DONT RIDE IT! SIMPLE AS THAT. IM SURE THOSE THAT LOVE IT OUTWEIGH BY A GREAT NUMBER THOSE THAT DONT….ITS AN ADVENTURE INTO PIRATE WORLD. ITS A CLASSIC. IT WOULDNT BE THE SAME WITHOUT THAT RIDE
People are taking their offenses too far!! It’s getting ridiculous!! I always loved the ride even with the bride auctions. There will always be some people offended by the stupidest little things! If you don’t like it DON’T RIDE IT!
No. We shouldn’t close or alter any ride. Pirates were not nice people. They sold people killed,rated and more. But keep changing stuff to appease the snowflake children who got trophies for parricipating and watch. History will repeat itself then what will they do as their heads blow up. Lol
If you are a little Bitch don’t go to Land and ruin it for the people who aren’t offended by robots staring at them or any other insight thing that offendes you
There will always be someone offended by something. Our country and businesses cannot continue to remove or change things to please some people. All this does is causes offense or dislike to other individuals. People need to learn how to avoid things they don’t like rather than push their choices on others.
If you get to offensive over things don’t ride it. Others enjoy it. I have enjoyed it for many many years and I love the movies. There are worse things out there. Stop complaining and get over yourself
Disney is offensive – shut it all down. These woke idiot libs can find something wrong with everything – so shut it all down.
It must be miserable being like one of them no joy, no creativity, no tolerance – just hate.
It’s being taken too far. People are too sensitive to the stupidest things. I always loved this ride jusrt the way it was. If it offends you don’t go on the ride.
RIDICULOUS to close a ride because, yet again, a handful of crybabies want it “their way!” What about the rest of us?
In fact, the MAJORITY of US want to put it back to the
way it was originally. If those few don’t like it, TUFF! Stay off this ride & let the rest of us enjoy it as Walt intended!
Comments for Pirates of the Caribbean Ride Offends Guests, Shuts Down After 56 Years
TinyTina
Good grief people… it’s a fun, iconic ride and a favorite. Just stop going if you’re offended by everything and leave it to the rest of us to enjoy.
Steamboat Willie
This was an old comment. Back when Redd was the Redhead instead of the badass pirate she is today.
(Maybe do your research before flinging nonsense onto the Internet)
Gary.dormanbcso@gmail.com
Leave it alone if your one of the woke generation and are offended don’t ride it.
Nia
It has nothing to do with woke
ElysianStar
Yes it does as people complain about everything now. The fools who dont like this ride and are hallucinating that pirates are ogling them need to go to a mental facility
Alistrina
How sad.. This is for entertainment only.. Stop tryn to make it woke or whatever… You are ruining it for us.
John
Leave it alone! It’s a great ride and you woke people need to find something else to do! Besides everyt time you go to Disneyland It’s always the longest line that and the hunted mansion! Woke people need to stay home with there mask on
Hannah
Hey babe, don’t let this bad “article” trigger you that much. No one is actually that offended by this ride. It’s not closing down. And OOP I’m going to wear my mask so I don’t get sick before my trip to Disneyland 😜
Nia
It has nothing to do with woke
Roe
People in the minority of open kindness have a problem with everything seriously.if you don’t like it don’t ride it. Leave us opened here for the enjoyment alone
Steven
I agree! As a U.S. Military Veteran.
I’m offended by these worthless little offended girl crotches!
If you’re offended by what is a Caribbean ride? I suggest you don’t go there and shut your sucks because you mean nothing to us the rest of us that are enjoying why you’re at or if you like it you’re offended by early get the F out of our country in the US also cause we’re affinity don’t like your worthless asses.
You pus—ies!
Bert
Looks like Steven has a “fire in the belly”! Maybe take a Tums… it’s going to be alright.
Victoria
My thoughts exactly! Love that ride, always have.
Roger Stevens
They changed enough. Leave it alone.
Jon
Imagine being so entitled that you think something needs to be taken away from everyone because you personally don’t like it? If you don’t like the ride dont go on it,problem solved.
Andrew
The attraction is iconic, I can’t believe how the ride has already changed because we have to cater to the 1%.
Just upgrade the animatronics.
ElysianStar
So true. Someone needs to shut down the 1%
Jennifer
Leave it alone! It really ticked me off when they first changed i due to some woke weirdo who was offended by the original storyline. It’s meant to be fun AND educate about a historical time. Same with the Brer Rabbit Log Ride. If you’re offended by history, don’t ride, and let the rest of us enjoy it.
Glenn
Just more stupidity, if you do not like something don’t go see it, it’s your choice to or not to see something it’s not your right to impose your views on anyone else
Ktish
We recently visited Disneyland and it was my granddaughter’s favorite ride. We wrote it the first right of the day and the last ride of the day. It’s fun and humorous. It’s definitely an icon of the park!
Terry
Geez to woke a comment rapey…lmao get a life and grow up. You don’t like it don’t ride it, better yet , don’t go to Disneyland.folks like you made us lose splash mountain. They are rides.
Adrian
It’s taped cause it’s pirates! They are bad guys, they are supposed to seem bad
Adrian
Correction *rapey* instead of taped
Pedro Gamez
I feel that political correctness has caused the Pirates of the Caribbean to close.I never had any problem with the attraction.Some of those people that were offended would be better off going to an attraction rated G to like they rate for movies.By doing it this way ,very sensitive people out there won’t be offended.This issue of the Pirates of the Caribbean is absurd.
ElysianStar
For those that are hallucinating and think this ride is offensuve do not ride it. Disneyland is destroying itself from the inside out bt remiving iconic rides and putting rudes in for whiney crybabies. This was not Walts vusion as he wanted a place that children and parents would enjoy together. Piratws has been stripped of iconic characters altering its essence. These woke sensutive pepathetic people complaining are the 1%. Why is Disneyland catering to these crybabies. Leave Pirates alone as Disney continues to strip Disneyland of all iconic rides and in their place put cheap ugly rides fir those that cannot handle the real world
Dawn
Stop changing iconic rides! If people don’t like it they can just go to a different ride. Next thing OETA will shut down the Jungle Cruise!
Mhetz
Can I complain then that the presence of these offended people offend me so they can be removed from the park?
Janes
Leave it alone ! If we shut down everything that offends people we will soon be shutting down the entire world. Don’t like the ride? Move on to one you do like and shut your mouth.
Carol
Don’t blame random people for the actions of Disney. I’m not part of the woke perspective but their intention is kindness.
Katie Ledbetter
Whoever said that Pirates is rapey are a bunch of entitled wet blankets. Pirates are supposed to be scary and whimsical. This ride may frighten some people because it is a thriller. Don’t like it? Then don’t ride it?
Terry
The woke are the majority now and bigger bullies then we ever were
TM
Anyone offended should just not go on it. Ppl getting their panties in a bunch and complaining have made it almost unrecognizable now.
Andrea
Give me a break people. If you don’t like the ride or what is actually about then DON’T GO ON IT!!!! I’m so tired of people complaining about everything. This world has become a world of freakin’ cry baby’s about EVERYTHING. Get off your high horse and leave stuff alone.
ElysianStar
Exactly
Nancy
It’s the weirdos that see more into things. It’s a ride about pirates…… Get in, sit down, and shut up….. Close your eyes or don’t ride it.
Crispy Chili
Shut up yall! The article was mainly about a technical issue causing the ride to stop, leaving guests stranded for 2 hours. They’re all fine, albeit having to listen to the same song and script for 2 hours. ..a cruel form of Disney torture.
It was dumb to add the issue of ride content, that the majority of turds commenting found the need to focus on and say “woke” a ridiculous amount of times, basically regurgitating the 20+ comments that said the same thing beforehand. Best way to lose support is Bible beating people over the head.
Vk
Hope fully Disney not reacting to a handful of stilupid comments and opinions.
Steve buscemi
People need to keep their ridiculous opinions of things to themselves. Who cares it’s a freaking entertainment ride. Everyone can’t like everything all the time. If Disney gave out gold bars and free steaks, people would complain it’s not platinum and lobster… This isn’t newsworthy.
Alex Madeiros JP
Annoying. I would have have given them their money back and tell them dont come back. Go whine somewhere else.
Keith Stone
Were sick of you worthless woke people who want to cram their ugly agenda down our gutts. Thats one of my favorite rides. You woke idiots have no clue how to have fun without bitching about something. You dont like the ride, go stand in the tea cup ride and spin your small brains out.!!! Take your wortless butts and move to Iran and see if thar works for ya.
B.C.
One of the best rides ….EVER…! I guess they’ll replace it with a ride featuring buttf*****g transgender queerios looking for rainbow unicorn poop all while driving their EV’s wearing their masks and voting for Cornpop.

Lynn Carol Feinn
This happens to be one of my favorite rides at Disneyland,yes it might be a little outdated,but that’s what gives the ride it’s charm and it’s everlasting presence . I’d stop going to Disneyland or the other Disney properties if they ever shut this down permanently,this is part of Disneyland history! If you don’t like it then don’t ride and STFU!!!
Theresa
Leave the ride alone. It’s a fun ride. My first trip to Disney was two years ago to celebrate my retirement. I was 66 years young and Pirates of the Caribbean was one of the rides I enjoyed the most.
Lucy
I love that ride. So fun.
Jackie
I love the ride!! It is one of my favorite rides in the Magic Kingdom. If you dont like it, don’t ride it.
Stop trying to cause trouble.!!🤪
Sandy
Ogled by an animatronic?!? Simple solution…don’t ride it, seek therapy and stay out of Chuck E. Cheese.
Cheri Pepka-Greene
Exactly too much Friday night at Freddy’s. They do need professional help
Amy
I am really sick of society being offended by everything. Seriously, it is way out of control. People need to toughen up, so many emotionally weak people out there. What are they going to do if something serious actually happens in life? Probably run to their safe space with crayons in hand.
Susan
I agree with you. I’m so tired of 1 person being able to ruin things for everyone else. This country needs to grow a pair and stop letting this happen…
Kathy F.
You ruined the ride taking out what you have so far. Please don’t take more. It’s the best ride at Disneyland.
David Stone
I would change out all of the Disney executives and take their “woke” agenda and politics with them. This was supposed to be for family fun until some far left “Snowflakes” complained and Disney with all of its “woke” executives gave in.
Take a stand and tell the “Snowflakes” to “pound salt” and move on. The Disney “woke” ideology is costing the company big bucks and shareholders are not happy.
Republican
This is what happens when Republicans don’t want us to enjoy disney they been after disney for sometime now even when everything was settled already
Kent
I’m probably one you’d consider “woke” based on my politics, yet I’ll be the first to agree that these polarizing extremes right and left have gone way too far. Society is never going to cater to exactly what you want. If you don’t like something, don’t participate. Leave the damn ride alone. It’s fun.
Dank
Leave the ride alone. People who are offended shouldnt ride it.
Angel
Agree 100%. Everyone gets offended. Don’t like our American ways the frigging leave
Jill
I’ve never been offended on this ride. It always been one of my favorites, and when they revamped it with Jack Sparrow, it was even better to me. However I certainly would not want to be stuck on it for any length of time.
Janet Jensen
I don’t know about anyone else, but I just think it’s A fun ride that Walt Disney himself created. I was 6 years old when my family first went to Disney Land in California. Pirates of the Caribbean was one of our favorite rides. Sometimes people are putting too much into what was intended to be just A fun family ride.
Tony
How ridiculous. Why do they cave in to the woke games?? They gonna lose even more money in the end ! Good Bye Disney …I’m going to Universal Studios instead !!
Monica
Pirate of Caribbean
If there offended then don’t got on the ride,,,, okay!!!
This ride is based on true history,,,history needs to be said,,,,, grow up you people
Leave the ride alone,!!!!
Me
Bravo thanks for hav8ng the voice for many
Sandy
We never miss the Pirates when we go to Disney World..it’sa priority..and we’ve been going since the park opened….we live 3 hours away!
Lina So S F
DIFFINETLY NOT! I ARRIVED FROM PHILIPPINES AND I WAS ASKED THEN… WHY I WANT TO GO TO AMERICA? I SAID I WANT TO SEE THE DISNEYLAND! I WAS ONLY 21 YRS OLD AND NOW? I AM 68! WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG, WE STAYED IN THE HOTEL OF DISNEY CALIFORNIA YEARLY FOR 5 YRS… I WILL NEVER EVER WANT ANYTHING CHANGED AND ERASED ALL OF MY GOOD MEMORIES?
Cheri Pepka-Greene
Disneyland is based on Fantasy and everyone should keep their options to themselves if they don’t like it leave. I’ve been to Disneyland since the year I was born. I still have paper tickets. The ride is great I don’t care who the ride offends, get a life. It’s Fantasy. Enjoy it or leave. Disneyland is to be magical and people need to get a grip on reality.
Cheri Pepka-Greene
Opinions not options
Sc vallely
Amen to that.
Ken
We all know pirates were God fearing peace loving individuals. These saints would never lift a hand against another, especially women. I want to more historical accuracy with these gentle fellows offering hugs
Steve
Thankfully by the 75th of Pirates in 2042 or even sometime before then, Pirates will be restored to its normal non-movie non-PC self and made great again complete with brides being auctioned again and pirates chasing women again. This is a guarantee. Real Disney fans will party. And one thing I might do after taking over Disney is restoring the woman in the barrel hiding from the “Pooped Pirate” and have her be a caricature of Kathleen Kennedy. Like there will be women’s groups who boycott?
Chris McKee
Pirates were not PC. We don’t need to see murders and bloody sword fights on a rIde but stop making it so whitewashed that it no longer looks like pirates.
Jackie
I love the ride!! It is one of my favorite rides in the Magic Kingdom. If you dont like it, don’t ride it.
Stop trying to cause trouble.!!🤪
Sandra
It’s a great ride one of the originals! It’s been updated a few times but it’s always good fun. Leave it alone and if people don’t like it for any reason don’t ride it simple!!!!
Stephen
Could have been worse, they could have been stuck on Small World for 2 hours 😂
Sylvia
Really if it offends you then don’t ride it, others love the ride. This is so ridiculous, why should I suffer because of you.
Lisa Davis
Put the ride back the way Walt Disney made it. If your so sensitive and can’t handle the way pirates were then don’t ride it. I have been offended by all the changes. Pirates sold women, men and children. The also did so much worse. Disney had already made it for all ages, put it back to normal and quit trying to please just a few. Disneyland is no place for the woke attitude..
Wayne.laflamme@gmail
Leave the ride as it was when invented, if the ride offends you stay off of it and keep your socialist comments to to your friends lots of people love that ride including me from my first ride in California in 1970
Jessica alder
No they should not shut the ride down if it offend u then don’t ride the ride plain and simple this offense BS is really stupid if u don’t like it then go somewhere else for vacation no others should suffer for other people’s nonsense if no one likes what I say I couldnt care less but those who love Disney should suffer
Ben
The pirate ride was always one of my top 3 favorites. No reason to close it. those who are ” offended” simply don’t get on!
Ssassy
Put the bride auction back and tell those who are offended by actual historic rides to go ride something else. It’s magical as it was.
Nicole
This goes against what Walt believed in. You don’t sugarcoat things for kids. Sick and tired of the snowflakes ruining Disney And Bob Iger is Jack Frost.
Bring back old Disney
AC
YOU HAVE A CHOICE AND THE CHOICE IS ALL YOURS. Do you eat something you don’t like, or do you make a restaurant remove it from their menu? Get over yourself and leave Walt’s legacy alone.
Justin
Why should this even be a topic?
Offended by pirates…
It’s a freaking ride about pirates! They’re the bad guys…. they’re supposed to be that way.
If it hurts your feelings, stay off the ride and let everyone who has normal sanity enjoy it
Stephanie Hanible
Totally agree! Been going on that ride since I was a child and that’s before it changed for the movie and I only remember having fun.
Shanta
If you’re offended stay home or don’t ride the ride. Problem solved! We live in a world of butt hurt people!
Sandra Coyle
Absolutely 💯
Melody
Ditto to all!!
Jeannie
👍 agree
Daniel
Changing a ride about the 17th century pirates and their behaviors was a bit silly. 1st it’s already a bit silly of a ride as it is, there’s nothing factional about it really. 2nd their basically puppets singing a happy little song as they pillage.
3rd some of these people need to get real, it’s a ride. Ride it or don’t, but you don’t need to ruin it for others. Ok it’s not you cup of tea then stop drinking it and find something else that will make you happy.

Well said.

United States is becoming a joke where those stupid people that “get offended” weights more than the rest of the entire nation.
There is a reason why “majority” is required to rule…and it “must apply to everything ” or we will end up being governed my minority.
California rulers want to please minority…look at the results…that State is becoming nothing but a joke.
Someone does not like something about Disneyland/Disneyworld…then go elsewhere.
I foresee the day where there will be no comediants because “someone” feels offended by what has been said, or how it was said…
Disney should make a stand and post “warning signs” that there is no way to please absolutely everybody, and for that reason, no guest to the their parks have the right to feel offended, but they do have the right to “leave immediately ” and never come back.
No more feelings

Sandra Coyle
I think taking ANYTHING out of Pirates of the Caribbean. That’s exactly how pirates were! If you’re offended, stay off the ride! It’s ridiculous trying to change history. The Truth will prevail. All you whiny people SHUT UP AND MYOB!
Stephanie Hanible
Don’t understand how an animatronic can make you feel raped. It’s not a real person. Don’t like it, don’t ride it problem solved. As for being stuck, not much you can do. It happens sometimes.
John
Just because you are offended doesnt automatically make you correct.
Rebecca
Who the hell is this person
Now one of the best rides in magic Kingdom is being closed
I hope not for good
That person can just not go on the ride if they are so fricken affected my oh no a scary pirate
It is pirate automation
It is fun ride for families
Annette
THEN DONT GET ON THE RIDE!! Problem solved!
Carol
Pirates of the Caribbean rides has always been my favorite! I am offended that my favorite is now gone! What about my feelings! If you don’t like something, don’t go on it, don’t ruin it for everyone else, JERK!
Macjaney
Someone felt like the pretend pirates were ogling her?? Really!? The pirates were drinking and acting like….pirates?? OMG. It’s just for FUN! Honestly, I could right a thesis on this “cancel culture”. But I won’t.
Rudy
Really bad when we cater to one person or family.
When millions visit there and it has been there over 50 yrs.
This is what’s wrong in our country now no tolerance we just get offended by everything we don’t like.
Bob
We need to quite trying to please everyone in the world. Go on the ride or don’t! Your choice !! Grow up and take responsibility for your choices. Cry baby!!!
Tom
A few people ruin what everyone else likes. If you get offended by the ride, don’t go on it. But, I’m sure all the complainers went to the theater and watched pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Howard Elgison
As a Pittsburgh Pirate fan I am deeply offended by a ride which trivializes my heroes. Would we allow a ride called the Dodgers or Yankees of the Caribbean? I doubt it.

It’s just a name. Not about the team! Get over it.

I’ve enjoyed this ride over 52 years with kids and grandkids. It was nice to cool off and amused me. You always have a choice to not ride. I’m sorry your life is so petty this an important issue to protest!
Graham Cook
Well there were pirates, and among other things they were involved in the slave trade. So if the ride is the only thing offending you, you have an odd st of priorities!
Sand bell
The right is the best place to cool off and quick three ride. There’s nothing offensive about it if you find this right offensive then I think you should look at yourself if you don’t like it don’t go in it.
Ladyredrider
Idiots, these people are idiots. Stay home where you will not be offended. Stop dragging your woke, DEI, feminist, socialist, and liberalism into a theme park where the children are supposed to play. Any female or male or whatever-ale that feels like an animatronic robot is being sexist, racist, or offensive has a serious mental disorder! People are sick in the head! Stay home and let the rest of the intelligent, fun loving society enjoy the parks!!
Marijo
Don’t change anything. I guess I haven’t been on it since they changed the “Bridal Bidding” but you can’t change HISTORY. For goodness sake…. Over sensitive and the loss of many interesting and factual things. Don’t Ride The Pirates of the Caribbean if you think you will be offended. Making changes for the minority is not fair to the majority. You’re ruining many memories that the rest of us treasure.
C&G
Someone was that offended by Pirates. I wonder what the movie does to them!! They may get upset knowing that One Eyed Willy’s treasure may still be floating out in the ocean.
Sharon dyal
Its a sad day when a society, young as we are, become offended by rides that share parts of past history. A little! We all know bride auctions are not okay. It is fun! Im sorry other cultures are abusing women. Im a woman but laughter is part of living a good life! Get over it. Too much political correctness has led to this christian extremism
Richard
It probably Not Christian Extremism.
More than likely cancel culture and woke.
Johnny
I cannot believe someone is offended by this. They’re pirates, and it’s for fun. These people will destroy everything the rest of us love.
Charles Elias Disney II
The person who was offended, offends me. LOCK THEM UP!!!
Kema1005
Pirates exists in our oceans. They are known for the bad things they do. Fortunately, Disney didn’t replicate what truly happens. This is an animation. Hope this person continues to live in their bubble.
Carol
Closing down that ride over one stupid person is just plain dumb. It is a fun ride and a cooling one. Open it back up
Elaine
This has been my favorite ride for as long as I can remember. Some changes here and there are okay because it keeps things new and fresh, but I also hope they never change it so much that it loses the spirit.
Sean
I’m just tired about reading and hearing about how soft people’s feelings are being hurt about the content of pirates. It is what it is at the end of the day pirates are people who plundered and stole among other things fare worse. This ride is soft in comparison to what they really did in real life. It is one of walt Disney’s visions and story telling I wish it wouldn’t be changed again. I think it should be updated or heavily repaired from a mechanical point of view can’t keep people stuck in those boats for 2 hrs anyway lol.
Cheri
If you don’t like don’t ride it. There are many more things in the world that are offensive than that you probably don’t even blink an eye at. It must be a power play to ruin something for many.
Susie
Here is a thought, if you don’t like the ride, then don’t go on it. We all have choices. The ride is entertainment and was always fun, take it in the context intended. Why should the obvious minority opinions ruin it for everyone else?
William
Pirates of the Caribbean should never be closed except for an emergency. If guests are offended by the ride, no one is going to stop them if they don’t want to ride it
Stew
It’s a nice calming ride. It’s a kid version of pirates. It’s not a live version of let’s say Black Sails. It’s all about woke ness and destroying the basic things most of us grew up on ..it’s Disney it’s a theme park. It’s supposed to fun don’t like it don’t go.
Don
Pirates is one of the best rides. Don’t change a thing!
Graham Cook
Well there were pirates, and among other things they were involved in the slave trade. So if the ride is the only thing offending you, you have an odd set of priorities!
Ralphie
It’s a fun ride. And historically the pirates were the bad guys.
Wow! If you felt ogled by an animatronic pirate you better lock yourself in your house with all the shades drawn. And never go outside.
As many have said if you are offended don’t go on the ride. At the same time don’t go to any theme park, don’t go to the movies or watch TV because something will offend you.
Mbown
Just another person in woke society being on the fringes of society whining and crying untill they get their way.
Abby
Leave the older attractions and rides alone at Disney parks, if there are people who don’t like something then they should just stay away from them and let the rest of the ones who love them enjoy them, including Pirates…
Stephanie
Yeah let’s shut down a classic ride because people suffer from stupidity. Don’t like it? DON’T GO!!!!!
Sherry
Today’s generation is so damn sensitive anything is offensive to them. Whoever complained about the animatronic has been so pampered and sheltered they can’t handle a Disney ride. Lol Pathetic.
Danielle
Lmfao…isn’t that the truth!
Janice
People need to stop feeling offended over every stupid thing. Grow up and grow a pair. It’s a fun and enjoyable ride leave it alone.
Suzanne
Restore the original Pirates. There are many people that would wait in line for the ride and those that are offended can keep walking by.
Zahira
If someone doesn’t like the ride then don’t ride it! Better yet, don’t visit park! Why does the minority have to spoil it for the majority!
Jennifer
Pirates is the best ride. I actually wish they would put back everything the way it was. If you feel offended and don’t want to ride then don’t ride. It ruins things for the rest of us when people complain about things. Leave things alone. We all have our opinions. I see nothing wrong with pirates. It’s an amazing ride that should be left alone.
Skh
No ride will appeal to 100% of park visitors but there are so many choices you can just choose what appeals to you. I vote keep it.
B kramer
If you don’t like the ride _ don’t ride it again. Your opinion or disapproval should not ruin it for the rest of the visitors. This is America where we get to make choices and hopefully it will stay that way. Patron another ride ir park. Stop trying to ruin it for those that visit the park to enjoy the different entertainment.
Neenee
The woke ass people are taking over. Haven’t you noticed how much say over our own bodies we’ve lost? How many things we did as kids that are felonies now? They’ve been taking over since the late ’80s. There’s no signs of them slowing down any time soon.
Danielle
Yessssss absolutely !
Jane
One of our favorite rides! No changes need to be made at all.
Joanne
My first time I loved it and always one of my favorite for years. Leave it alone, let the dirty minded people stay home!
Glenn
This is my favorite ride. If you are offended, don’t ride, it’s that simple
Nancee
Leave the ride alone. If there are a few snowflakes out there offended by the ride developed when Mr Disney was still alive and running things, let them go elsewhere. No one is forcing them to go on this wonderful adventure!
JakeS
Pirates is a Disney classic that is one of the few remaining things Walt worked on not yet destroyed in this current period of wokeness. The ride should be maintained better to prevent the breakdowns and KEPT OPEN. If you don’t like the ride don’t go on it.
Danielle
Absolutely… keep some of the old classic rides Walt put his imagination into and made it reality. This is one of my favorite rides!!
Robert Olin
People need to get over themselves. It’s a fun ride, a piece of history. Let’s not whitewash the old times because we are too sensitive to that which is not socially correct.
Sherry
Keep the ride we go every year and we have a blast on this ride.If you are offended don’t ride it this America and we have right to enjoy the little things that make us happy.
Peggy
Have people just lost their minds.
The ride was my very favorite.
I only go to Disneyland once in a blue moon. But it is exactly what one would expect from a pirate ship.
Danielle
Do NOT close this ride. Its one of my favorites. It’s just so classic and never gets old. For ya’ll ppl who don’t like it then DON’T ride it. Simple as that!!! Keep the ride as is and dont close it down!!!
Brayden
Ya’ll know its not actually closing right? The title is making you want to read the article, but the content was not about the total, only talking about people getting stuck on the last paragraph.
Jan
I liked it the way it use to be But no it shouldn’t be closed down. It’s a fun ride.
Rosie
After 56 years and it’s just now a problem? Y’all just looking to be unhappy. Don’t go on that ride. Or, better yet. DON’T GO TO DISNEY! Save the happiest place on earth for the ones who want to be happy.
Bonnie
I love this ride. It’s one of the best rides there.
Becca
Why are you being harassed to change anything about the ride…if someone doesn’t like it or feel it’s sexiest…then don’t ride it…I’ve been alive since b4 Disneyland California opened and I understand updating..but closing down or making drastic changes bcuz someone thinks this or that is absurd….I say leave it the way it has always been with some updates…bah humbug to the people who are offended by History and the way it was…go cry to your Mama’s
Jannah
Does everybody just do not want to have any fun at all! Oh my God it’s not real!! Making a big deal out of everything! Critiquing and criticizing anything and everything!
ASandy Armstrong ong
Disney, PLEASE do not fall believe the narcistic woke few that think we, the majority, need to follow ridiculous cancel culture attitudes. POTC is the most memorable ride at Disney. Its a small world comes in a close second. Be smart about this and maybe, apologize to Johnny Depp while youre at it…
Laura poynter
I love the ride PIRATES OF the Caribbean is a amazing ride to be on. I remember riding it all my life .lm 60.And the most famous popular best ride there is at Disneyland. Please don’t shut down forever. That would be a horrible huge mistake to do.
Lori
It was my favorite ride as a kid and still is as an adult. I would be sad if it ever closed and it annoys me that they made changes to it for being “offensive”. It’s ridiculous!
Judy Robichaud
Things have just become ridiculous first we get rid of history, take down historical statues and now people think there’s something wrong with the kids Disney ride. Leave the ride alone leave history alone and put the status back.
Karen
I love that ride it is one of my favorites. No one forced you to go on. Please stay off it so the rest of us can enjoy it. Please do not close this ride. Yo Ho A pirates life for me.
Holly
Well said Karen!
Ed DeMay
Disney is a lot about fantasy and not always real. Keep it the way it is. Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope. New ropes are very scratchy until they are broken in. Please keep it the way it is.
Tom
I think people just need to get over themselves. People these days get offended by EVERYTHING. it’s time to stop playing victim all the time snowflakes. There are several things out there now that have come about in the last so many years that are things that I don’t like but guess what? I adult and don’t do those things or watch those things. Instead I do things that I like. Just because something you don’t like or something makes you feel a certain way that is your issue. Others probably don’t feel the same and might actually enjoy those things. So if you didn’t enjoy it something offends you. Avoid it and quit your bitching
Michael Rose
At some point you’ve got to throw up your hands. To the lady who felt like the pirates were staring at her, THEY AREN’T REAL! This is where a lot of people get upset. Leave the ride alone. People who are “uncomfortable” with FAKE pirates can’t be accommodated all the time. That’s the beauty of a free society..DON’T GO ON THE RIDE. GEEZ! What happens when everything is made to offended anyone? Makes things less interesting.
Mark
100%. Leave your mental illness at home. Or don’t go to Disney.
Mike
One of the best rides Disney ever had. It’s ashamed how Disney has changed and not for the better, and the reason my last time ever going was in 2019
Scott
This stupid woke agenda needs to be stopped. I am pretty sure the audioanamatronics cannot Google you. Also pretty sure the pirates probably auctioned off women back in the day. Let’s put the ride back like it was and tell the people who don’t like it ti just not ride it. They are running fun for rest of us.
The One Who Knows
The feeling of being “ogled” by an animatronic is nothing more than a Karen seeing $$ from a slug attorney. Disney is over rated and out dated and should be closed permanently
End of line.
Yeti
You need to step away from your basement keyboard. Just because you can’t afford to go, your opinion matters not.
James MacGlashan
I love “Pirates of the Caribbean” it’s a great ride and I’m sad they’ve had to make changes to the ride, like the bride auction, as that was probably close to realistic given the 1600’s, not to be confused with today’s considerations, and the Jack Sparrow was cool too, after all 5 hit movies in a row have got to mean something, tides…
Mark
The fact that anyone feels a need to take someone who feels “ogled” by an animatronic ride shows how broken society is at this point. Quit validating psychos. Either take your meds before you come to an amusement park or stay home. Stop ruining things for everyone else just because you can’t handle life.
Holly
I love the pirates! I think people these days make everyone out bad! Everything’s negative- just enjoy it n enjoy life! Heck I’d like to join the pirates lol! They look like theyr having fun to me!
Lori
When will the woke quit ruining things for normal people. There’s one of them, to maybe a thousand normal people. Maybe you should keep catering to normies instead of those that should probably seek psychiatric treatment.
Luvenia
The woke didn’t do this. This came from you Conservatives, the ones trying to take us back to the 18th century.
Luvenia
If you didn’t like the ride you didn’t have to get on. When did humans get so soft and STUPID???? We are de-evolving and FAST.
Betty
I have taken my 3 boys to that ride for over 25 years & probably 12 times . What is this world coming to when a fun ride at Disney is offensive. God help us all.
Jim W.
By all means, let’s not only change all rides that depict historical settings the way they actually were, but why not completely rewrite all history books, remake all movies, and rewrite all books ever written to ONLY include the woke agenda’s version of what is NOT offensive. Oh and those scary “thrill” rides like roller coasters, we better tear all those down, too. Someone who is offended by scenes of pirates (who were basically criminal thugs, btw) might be scared of the drops and the high speeds. Funny how the same crowd defends actual modern day criminals (those who enter our country without permission, those who do drugs, urinate, defecate, and litter our city streets with their garbage and drug paraphernalia, push people under subway trains, rob innocent citizens and business owners, etc.) but, God forbid we have a ride that portrays pirates as they actually lived 400 years ago!
Becca
Why are you being harassed to change anything about the ride…if someone doesn’t like it or feel it’s sexiest…then don’t ride it…I’ve been alive since b4 Disneyland California opened and I understand updating..but closing down or making drastic changes bcuz someone thinks this or that is absurd….I say leave it the way it has always been with some updates…bah humbug to the people who are offended by History and the way it was…go cry to your Mama’s
David DeRango
Sorry Disney this is my favorite ride, it is true you go woke you go broke.
I stop go to Disney years ago I will never go back.
Kathy
People need to get over themselves. If you don’t like what you’ve seen, don’t go on it again! Millions of others understand it’s just a ride for fun.
Bill
Why can’t corporations understand – go woke, go broke. Disney has had to keep raiding prices to make up for the loss of revenue from ordinary people who aren’t always looking for some way to be offended. Do these CEOs not understand that not offending one group might/will offend another? Relax and enjoy what is supposed to be a vacation and break from everyday reality and get over yourself.
Lee
Best ride there! Leave it alone. People need to get over theirselves. Stop be offended be literally everything. I love pirates.
Stev
A total load of bovine excrement. Another couple of years and Bambi will be attacked as Animal/Child exploitation. And who was thewoman who felt she was being improperly stared at…BY AN ANIMATION…A MACHINE?!!! Instead of doing away with ‘Pirates’ why don’t we get some psychological help for the weirdos who feel machines on kids’ rides are sexist, and that machines are looking at them ‘improperly!!
PAZ
I a. So tired of rides getting changed or closed because of the few that are so easily offended! It’s not real people! It’s a ride! If you don’t like it and are that offended, THEN STAY HOME! Stop ruining things for the rest of us! Some people Re just so stupid!
Darlene
That’s ridiculous. If you offen, then don’t ride it. Why ruin it for everyone else. I have always loved that ride.
Michele
I gave been going to Disneyland since I was 5yo and I’m 57 now. Pirates was and is one of those rides that I’ve I always ridden. Even now when I go, I alway have to ride Pirates and Haunted Mansion. It’s a shame that people can’t get past certain issues cause at the end of the day this is JUST A RIDE! You get off and go on another. Closing Pirates would be a travesty to something that has existed for such a long time and is so entertaining.
J
People who are making noise get a LIFE. If you don’t like it don’t go.
Big al. The bear
You know that ride was one of Walt’s favorites it’s been there for 56 years there’s nothing wrong with it you guys all need to get over this all cancel culture this offends me bullshit man up and grow a pair
USMC 67
I have spent many times on this ride.The problem now is this generation who have no idea what Pirates represent. I am 75 years old and was raise with good values. It is time now that we stop catering to these cry babies..
John
Favorite ride at Disneyland.
Robln
I’m getting sick and tired of these fake Christians putting their two cents in trying to run everybody’s life mind your business if you don’t like what’s on it don’t ride it
J-a
I’m a Christian & I feel the same. Christian or not let the ride be the ride and don’t ride it if it offends you.
Mary Ann Rizzaro
Are you kidding?? Can the snowflakes get a grip
Michael
Q: Should it close forever? A: Hell No! Q: Would I change anything? A: Restore it to its original glory, and leave it that way, other than regular maintenance.
Lorie
If you don’t like it, don’t ride it! It is as simple as that! It should not be a few people who decide that everyone else should miss out. That is completely ridiculous!
Joel
People are way to sensitive and WOKE these days!
The world doesn’t need you to try to tell it what to do or say!
If you don’t enjoy a ride, move on to the next!
Nobody wants to hear your negative bs!
Southernboisb
“One Disney Park guest felt ogled by the pirate animatronics.”
HOW is one “ogled” by an animatronic???
Sue
Possibly because they think too much of themselves and consider themselves to be so attractive that even a fake pirate would want them…. are totally insecure with themselves and Afraid when anything that looks like a male looks at them definitely they are the ones who are weird
Snoozy
What a bizarre thing to think….mental health issues present…
Richard Mendez
Everyone have their own opinion about things as they should. If you think a certain ride is offensive then by all means don’t ride their are plenty of other options. That will make our wait time less. Thank you Walt Disney and all who work at Disneyland for all the great years I have gone.
Petrina
Leave it alone I love ❤️ the ride got to remember the time and what the culture was in the time of the pirates of those days cand chang true history
David Mills
Go woke, go broke
Change it all back to the original. Stop changing for 1 or 2. Dont ride if you don’t like
Southernboisb
“David Mills
Go woke, go broke.”
DON’T make this political…especially when those using this phrase CAN’T even define “woke”.
Papi T
Hear! Hear!
Nicole
How do you get through life if Disney offends you 🤦🙅
Maryann
This is ridiculous! Millions upon millions have enjoyed this ride for over 50 years. Keep the ride and stop changing it for a few! If they don’t like the ride, give them their money back and tell them to leave.
Roger
Keep the ride as is. Never please everyone. Its the staple of Disney. And my most favorite for 40+ years.
PJ
There are several rides I don’t ride for a few different reasons. Physically, after back surgery…the Matterhorn is a no go…possibly Thunder Mountain Railroad too. I am a senior citizen and after riding It’s a Small World many, many times…I choose to not ride it…BUT I would never expect others to avoid them because of my limitations or choices. There are plenty of things to overfill your day if you are easily offended. Leave Pirates as is or put the original back…but don’t ever think of elimating it. Continues to be one of the most entertaining.
Chiara Darville
I agree with USMC 67. In my opinion there is absolutely no issue at all with the ride as it was, back in the early 2000s. That was the last time I was there, at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. Since then, there has been so much nonsense and nitpicking over trivialities! The ride presented an honest and amusing look at the lives of pirates as told in story books and told in documentaries. To bend to the overly sensitive population is ludicrous. These are the same people who probably would not have an issue with their kids wearing skimpy clothing or smoking pot! And let’s not forget the Johnny Depp issue! Before his trial was over, before he was found innocent or guilty, Disney wanted to give him the boot. Such hypocrites!! The people who are making so much noise, who are so offended by a ride that is depicting simply history; if you find it distasteful, I hope you’re also boycotting all the pirate movies and all the action movies. Some of which although popular, show violence and sexual content.
steve
Classic Disney ride one my favorites keep it going for generations to enjoy!
Troy
If you don’t like a ride don’t go on it. Don’t ruin it for everyone else. So sick of people being offended by everything.
Bradley H
Keep it running and don’t change anything else about it.
Trilobite
How does an animatronic oogle humans? I don’t see how that’s possible unless they human just thinks everything that isn’t real looks at them that way. If that’s the case, I’m think they need to see a Dr.
Stop changing things, how it was from the beginning is only portraying how things were. My gosh people are so so sensitive and take things so personal anymore. It’s not about you! People have forgotten it’s a THEME park!! You can’t tell me that they didn’t know what happens on the ride, are they that naive, sheltered? What are they going to gave to give everyone in line a preview of what’s in the river to know if they should or shouldn’t go in? Yeah getting stuck on the ride for 2 hours isn’t acceptable as the article didn’t mention a reason and this is where the park needs to compensate the guests for the inconvenience.
Daniel
I think people need to stop acting stupid about this ride I went on this ride since 1975, there is nothing wrong with this ride. That’s how pirates are.
Francine
You are right about that pirate is of good ride
Barbara
If you are offended or don’t like it just don’t ride it. Move on to something like the merry-go-round . . . .
Debbie
Nothing should be changed. I’m sick and tired of people wanting to change things. If you are offended, don’t go on it. Don’t ruin it for people who don’t have a problem with the ride. Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. To me, it sounds like Disneyland isn’t for you.
S.Hall
Way too many ‘offended’ over sensitive idiots….stand up to them Disney. One complaining softie said, ‘it was rapey’ WTF are these idiots on?
Dan
Well, obviously you’re not appalled by the questionable history of the merry-go-round. Just kidding!
L.S.
Disney needs to stop giving in to complainers. You can’t please everyone, so stop trying. Keep things how they are. People don’t have to go there if they don’t like it. I’m actually not too thrilled about Disney’s attitude lately. 😡
Victoria S Reed
I agree with the majority of comments. Pirates weren’t good guys. I road on this ride and thought it was fun. People are so over sensitive and have to analyze everything to their version of “politically correct “. Me, if you find it offensive then don’t ride it. There are enough attractions at Disney to appeal to everyone. Please Disney don’t take it away.
Jayne
Put it back the way it originally was.
BLC
YES!!! I so agree with you. It needs to go back to the original!
Jeff
Back to the original!
Stanley
Don’t change a thing! I have been riding this ride since it first opened!!
Henry
Good Lord, once more the whining Karens want the world to bend to their will. As has been said in other posts, IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THE CONTENT OF THE ATTRACTION, DON’T GO ON IT! As for the person who felt that the animatronics were ogling them, that person needs help.
Janet
For the love of God leave it alone. Every time you turn around to make someone happy you are taking something away from another group of people. Leave politics out of the happiest place on earth. There is no sign at the entrance that requires you to ride the ride
Vernon Powell
You have got to be kidding
Joleen
NO! They should NOT close the ride. That’s my favorite ride of ALL time. I’ve loved it for decades. IF you don’t like it, don’t ride it. Ride the other ones. I’m so tired of these “offended” people. Get a life. JEEZ!!!
Lori
What is happening to this world?? We are giving in to cry babies that find the stupidest things “offensive” Instead of worrying about a ride that is probably the most popular, worry about what is happening with something that is important like the Gaza situation, or high cost of living!! Some people, I believe, look for things to complain about!!!!
Carl Osborne
If you don’t like the ride, don’t ride it. I’m tired of all the Snowflakes.
Robert Waldron
Keep the ride as it was meant to be. If people get offended by it then don’t effin ride it. Bunch of Karen cry babys
Patrick Hausenfleck
I have a solution.. Don’t shut down the attraction…”Shut Out” /”86!” the real problem 😉☺️😏
CHERYL NIKKOLA
Leave the ride alone. It was just fine the way Mr Disney made it.
Nancy
There is no reason to change Pirates. Some people are too easily offended by minor details or they are just trouble makers. I still feel like Splash Mountain should never have been shut down for the same reason. If you don’t like it, stay off Pirates and let the rest of us enjoy it the way Walt wanted it.
Della Amparan
I think people are just plain to sensitive these days and need to get a sense of humor
David
Close the whole park who cares? Walt would be disgusted with all the crap they are doing to his creation.
Mike
Why? Walt would want them the overcrowding problem, the reason why he created the park.
Ray
How do you feel this ride is “RAPEY” are you having sexual thoughts towards an automated person? You need to get a life and stay away from any Disney destination. It’s idiots like you that have ruined society for the rest of us “normal” people.
Neil
No it doesn’t need to close down I love the films and I love the ride people need to stop being snowflakes. If they don’t like them they don’t need to ride it why spoil it for those who enjoy it.
Evan
I’m offended by the people offended by this ride.
Carissa.
Maybe if you are so offended by a ride you should consider the number of people you offend in a day with your all holy attitude. And really, ogled by a batch of nuts and bolts with some fabric… you have issues. Go home
Rebekka
I think people are stupid about this. Shut down Pirates of the Caribbean..? Are you kidding me. People are just too net picky. This ride has been a classic for almost as long as I’ve been alive. Life is too short. Let people enjoy these rides. Please don’t close it down.
Kevin
If a conservative doesn’t like something, a ride a tv show a comedian etc. they just move on and don’t ride it watch it or go to the show. Now an uptight triggered Liberal wants to ruin it for everyone by cancelling, changing or just ruining someone’s life. Move on and stop screwing things up for sane people.

Kathryn Shepard
Leave the ride alone! You pansy people who get offended over a ride I have a suggestion!! DON’T GO ON THE RIDE!! GO RIDE THE MERRY GO ROUND FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!! It’s a ride about pirates people! What do you think they did back in the day? Ask if someone would be offended before the pirates raided? Omg!! Get real people! That’s the way it was back then! You can’t handle it, don’t go on the ride! Mr Disney is probably rolling in his grave over all this garbage. All these people making a big issue out of one of the best rides in the park should think twice about even going there to begin with! Stay home & live your sheltered lives in your closets that should be padded for the love of God!!
Butch
Just leave it alone one of the greatest rides ever
Jace
“You People” of this world that want everything to change due to “YOUR FEELINGS”….ARE RUINING LIFE FOR US who enjoy it for how it “WAS”…..get a life.
Sharon
Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth NOT Whinges Day Out. If you can’t enjoy Disneyland the way it has been for many years, stay at home. Stop trying to ruin it for the sane, happy people.
Gabriella
Pirate’s of the Caribbean ride is my favorite rides at Disneyland and I think they should put it back to the original! The Bride’s part of the ride was a favorite of mine and I was disappointed about it being removed.
If they got rid of it I would be most upset and may not return!
Stephanie
100% agreed. The bride auction was appropriate for those times. Sick of people being so offended. People are getting too sensitive and it seems like it is the younger generation complaining all the time about everything.
T
Grow up and be aware of how things were. This is a type of historical fiction. Easy answer here is ride it or don’t. Stop pushing your sanitized BS onto every aspect of life.
Pat
For goodness sake. Oggled by animatronics! Get a life. And definitely do not go to Disney a park loaded with animatronics.
SS
Don’t shut ot down because of some people saying it’s offensive, it’s part of history, that’s what pirates did. As for me I love pirates and reading about them. Before you even go on the ride, read about it and check a video on it, don’t like what you see then don’t go on it. Most likely whoever complained won’t visit again. They just want to make a big stink about it nothing better to do.
Rroe
Do not allow “WOKE” followers or Gen Z guests on the ride. They ruin everything.
Kidamer
Like to see the site close forever
Edward Van Valkenburgh
Sick and tired of people being “offended” by everything under the sun. Reality check: it was much worse in real life. As for getting stuck on the ride, happens to everyone.
GROW UP!
Sharron
I agree people who don’t like it then stop ruin it for someone else. My favorite ride.
Mike Lloyd
Ogled by the animatronics? For heaven’s sake! Grow up!
Dennis
That’s how the pirate’s way if life was. They’re historic facts with added humor in them.
Disney should stand firm on their ground on certain things especially if it’s true history.
We get a glimpse of the past which were already established and has passed.
That’s why it stood there for more than 5 decades and should remain to be as long as Disney operates.
Dennis
ITM Rocks!

“Ogled by animatronics” ~~ I guess this “guest” has unresolved mental problems. How can an inanimate object “ogle” someone? Was it “wishful thinking”? The world has gone MAD, Disney along with it! If a ride can make one feel uncomfortable, I suggest you don’t go on it. When are corporations going to wake up and stop catering to these crazies?
Maria
People are getting too purist. Its a freaking ride. And if your study history. Females was sell. They burned cities and steal riches. It’s just an make believe place for entretaimer. Too close mind people. If you don’t like do not get on!!
Rosanne Shinkle
Shut the whole park down, something will offend someone. Who will be offended by Cinderella’s Castle because it reminds them of European colonizers? How about the Hall of Presidents because some Presidents were slave owners? Is the Tiki room offensive because of the songs? Certainly the Jungle River cruise is offensive because of African themes? I am so glad I gave up on Disney years ago.
H
The ride is not offensive, it’s offensive to YOU! Quit looking for ways to be offended. Also, if it bothers your frail nature don’t go on the ride.
Haywood JaBlowme
Ogled by aminatroics? Just how does that happen? If you’re offended by this ride, how about this, DON’T RIDE IT! Move along. Go to the next ride and get on with your day. Everything is not for everybody. You’ll find something else to bitch about soon enough.
Fiona
If you don’t “like something, walk on. Millions of people have taken the Pirates ride and have not been offended or traumatized by it.
I might be upset enough after 2 hrs of being stuck inside the ride, to demand a complimentary Disney Pass for my wasted time though!
Stephanie
I would say they should get the equivalent fast passes to all the rides the rest of the day and if it’s late for the next day of their stay.
Lynn Tate
These people are ridiculous. What’re you going to do, whitewash all history you don’t like. Get a clue. Some history is really bad. Pirates were “rapey” and murderous. Slavery was real, for God’s sake it’s still around today! You ever heard the phrase “those that forget their history are doomed to repeat it!” I think we would all do better to leave innocent rides and statues and things alone and worry more about how we all act and treat each other in future! The past is gone, leave it alone!!!
Victor Bustillos
Change it back to the original and leave it as the majority of people want it and not the view if the few…..Enough is enough with this woke stuff you don’t like it don’t ride it simple as that!
John
This country needs to stop being so soft and wine, if you don’t want to ride it, don’t, but don’t try to take away something that brings pleasure to other people. Stop looking to be offended by something. Personally I find today’s movie and television content a he’ll of a lot more offensive that anything Walt Disney ever did when he was alive.
Walt
This is just the outgrowth of parents telling these (useless non functional) people that they are the most special the most incredible little children and they deserve to be heard and to get a trophy for EVERYTHING they do. They grow up and continue their reign of terror on the general population and throw temper tantrums until they get their way (ala Fredick Chambers rant about splash mountain) Frederick incidentally works in guest services in DL – stop by and thank him for helping to destroy one of the most beloved attractions.
Meagan
If you’re offended by animatronic, you have your priorites and concerns backwards in this world. Seek help.
Lynette Nekolny
Pirates of the Caribbean is a fun ride that takes you back in time to the days of sailing the seas. Its history, yet fictional. If you don’t like the genre, you don’t go on it. Just like roller coaster rides, if you don’t like going on them, you don’t go on them. There are many rides for everyone to enjoy, find what you enjoy and have fun. That is why people go to Disney Parks, Various Music Type Concerts, NFL football games, MLB baseball games, NBA basketball games, NHL hockey games, Broadway Plays, Nature parks, etc. to have time away from the real world problems. Pick somewhere or place that makes you happy instead of being the complainer in life.
Daryl
Oh so you mean something mechanical broke down ? Say it isn’t so .. and if your going on a ride about pirates and don’t expect what you see, then go ride it’s a small world instead.. Geesh do YOU people have to destroy everything ??
Steph
The fact that this is even a story and we’re giving a voice to an obvious mental case Karen just says so much about this silly website Obviously The group here that writes the silly nonsense having an agenda it’s obviously DEI and they don’t look at things as trivial and bullshit and basically look at people like the angry Karen, who thought an animatronic pirate was staring at her and being rape. What the fuck does that even mean and ask her what the hell her problem is. Being admired as a woman by a man is a bad thing right as we’re trying to get to you broke, sad, sad, and miserable unloved dried up hags.
Deborah Jones 😀
You know I’m all for updating and refreshing things but but Walt Disney would be spinning in his grave seeing what has been done to his park, you had a park that believed in family and now you want DEI everything and you’re catering to a population that’s less than 15%, why because they have big or maybe they have something on you, I just never in my lifetime thought that you would turn your park into the debauchery that it’s becoming,as for me and my family we will go elsewhere.
WC
I have a solution. Leave the ride as is and if you don’t like it, don’t ride it.
Jamie
Disney was created for imagination and out of REAL life history. Just like alot of things have always have the concept of. Disney, just like several other things, has been around and there wasn’t issues until the past few years. People look for any reason to “be offended”. People are going way too far with changing everything that has to do with history etc because they claim racism. Grow up!
Jennifer
I love this ride! Just like all the rides in Disney. It’s so sad that Disney lets a handful of people ruin it for everyone else. If you don’t like a ride just simply DONT RIDE IT! Don’t be. Smuck and ruin it for thousands of others. Just pass it by. It’s so simple. Just keep walking. Problem solved.
Susan
I agree with the majority of the comments.
I guarantee if you spend your time looking for something to be offended by, you will find it!
I am way more “offended” by some of the commercials on TV, than by anything at Disney parks.
If you feel ogled by an inanimate object, you really should seek professional help.
If you are offended, simple solution, don’t ever ride it again. In fact, as a Florida resident, I’d be happy if you never come here again!
Arlene Regalado
I agree!! If a inanimate object makes you feel like that, YOU NEED TOO GET HELP!!! Because life is gonna tare you up !!!
Pete
Why are people such babies . Cmon people enough of this crap . Our poor kids have to deal with such nonsense SMH
Tami
No leave it alone people need to get a grip do you think pirates were nice people no if you don’t like it don’t go on it it’s part of the Disney thing leave it alone.
Roger Stevens
If you are offended, don’t go on it. Leave it alone. Go watch a barbie movie.
Barry
Exactly if it offense you don’t ride simple.Damn people get a life!!!!!
TCM
Oh… you mean behave like grown ups instead of little tantrumming children? I agree!
Tracey
I agree. Leave the ride alone. Actually it would be nice to put back the auction. If you don’t like the ride go ride something else. You can find offense if you’re looking for it. It’s one of our favorite rides.
Karen
I like Pirates AND Barbie….lol
Bob
Rapey? FFS, what is wrong with people. Half the problem, and no offence, it’s outlets like this one reporting on 2 people from twitter being offended like it’s some kind of popular opinion.
Barbara-Renae Greer
Give me a break! Stop with your politically correct crap! It’s PIRATES! What do you think they did back then??? Plundered, stole whatever, abused women! We can not rewrite history. It happened, it’s now entertainment, get over yourself. If you don’t like it don’t go! I used to love Disneyland, but since they went “woke” I don’t support them anymore. My choice, but I’m not making a big deal of it, my adult kids still go. Grow up!
Tina
Just leave it alone, it’s one of family’s favorite rides. And there’s rides I don’t go one because I don’t like it. Just don’t go on it or anything thing else you don’t like. Why spoil it for others.
Connie C
Anyone can choose which attractions to see or ride. You are not required to see or ride any attraction. If you are that sensitive to the Disney themes DON’T GO! It is your chose. I have to agree with previous statements I am so tired of the minority have more say than the majority. I am more offended by the inappropriate clothing worn by guest. This should be the upmost concern for all guest and not the attractions. Although some guest feel they are the attraction with their vulgar saying and gestures on their shirts or over exposed body. Disney Parks are a family destination not a Gentlemen’s Club.
Carol
I agree with above comments. It doesn’t bode well for this country when a growing group of petty-minded, overly sensitive crybabies who take offense at everything they hear or see that hurts their tender fragile feelings begins to control the behavior of an entire country! America-“land of the free”! People, get over yourselves & find something important to whine& snivel about!
Jen
Pirates is a classic that I grew up with. I even bought an authentic $99 pirate hat with dreads at the Pirates gift shop that I wear every Halloween. Now I enjoy the ride with my kids & they love it as well. If you are offended by the ride, don’t go. Don’t complain & ruin it for the thousands & thousands of guests who adore this classic ride.
Southernboisb
“I even bought an authentic $99 pirate hat with dreads at the Pirates gift shop.”
I know it’s slightly off topic, but prices for gifts at Disney can be too much. & that’s a discussion topic we could present.
TCM
Not only WERE there such pirates… there still are. Who wants to take a cruise around the Horn of Africa? Who remembers the old Jewish man being shoved into the ocean in his wheelchair in front of his pleading family? The Achille Larry (sp?) was just one of many examples. Ships large and small continue to be attacked by pirates, Somalian and others, who rape, pillage, and plunder the loot. If they don’t like the stereotype, stop being it. The woke activists are ruining everything that hurts their feelings rather than fixing the real problem. Disney is paying for erasing our childhood innocence to please insecure “adults.”
Southernboisb
Comment help:
HOW do I view all comments? I get the article & then when i click on “show comments”, it only gives me the last 5-10. I then click on “show older comments” & it goes back to the article. Continuous loop.
Is it because I’m currently using my cell phone?
Lillian Kerr
Leave it alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stac-e
You don’t like it, then you know – DONT RIDE IT AGAIN! So tired of this BS. It’s part of Disney! Open your own amusement park if you don’t like it. Smh.
Janice Shibla
Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my family’s favorite rides. . I can’t believe how people are so easily offended in this day and age. It would be a real shame to do away with this attraction due to the minority who find it offensive. Maybe have a disclaimer by the attraction explaining what you’ll see inside..
Diana Rudolph
I worked at Disney world in Florida, you people are freaking nuts!! There is nothing wrong with the ride you are just an attention seeker trying to make a name for yourself and ruin the Disney magic for others!! Grow the hell up😤😤😤
Orlando
HELL NO! It’s the best ride at Disney. It’s an all-time classic. If you are offended by this ride DON’T RIDE IT. Do not prevent future generations from experiencing this amazing ride because YOU feel offended. It’s a minimal opinion compared to the masses. Go somewhere else and leave Disney alone. It belongs to America not YOU.
Brad
The ride should be changed back to it’s original incarnation and left alone. If you are offended by The Pirates of the Caribbean ride then you obviously have no idea what pirate’s were like. You should find your safe space and leave rides to people with a spine.
Dee
Everything is offensive these days, spend more time telling people about your Big Feelings, then actually doing something worth talking about. So now I find my self offended, by being told what i can/can not say , by being told that someone else “feelings” are more valid than mine. By having things being taken away because they are Woke, when the whole time everyone can just stay in their own lane and avoid things they didn’t care for….. No one has a problem doing that before.
Irene
Keep it open! There are just a few that try to ruin things for everyone else! I wonder what those “few” do at home behind closed doors!
Shirley
My favourite ride. Its loosely based on historical background of what life was in time of pirates. We should learn from history not try to remove it. Also this is a Disney ride so you will only find things upsetting if you look for it. Stop psycho analysing things and just accept this for what it’s meant to be a fun ride. If you don’t like or approve of it don’t do it.
I hate roller coasters but don’t think it’s my right to tell everyone else they shouldn’t ride them or that they should all be banned because I don’t like them.
Jordan Davidson
OH FOR WALT’S SAKE! People need to get a freaking grip! If you’re offended by inanimate objects or the ride or just pirates in general get some help! Ride something else or visit the other parks! God I’m sick and tired of this crap!
Noah
The point blank fact remains if your a snowflake your gonna be offended by every lil thing and it doesnt matter what it is….. sides isnt florida hot, surprised snowflakes dont melt lmao GTFO and ride something different and leave the classics alone…. also if agree if you feel ogled by a damn inatimate object you need a shrink not a disney vacation! News fllash pirates werent nice its bad enough twilight ruined vampired with rhe sparkle sparkle and now they want a politically correct pirate that lives according to law and is nice! News flash that violates what the core of pirate is….. how about we just leave stuff alone and stop erasing history so we arent doomed to.repeat it!

Keep the pirates of the Caribbean ride alone. Pirates weren’t nice or pretty like the movies shows them to be. Stop letting the people, whom are always looking for stuff wrong ,ruining the fun and joy of others. They need to grow up and stop trying to rule the world.
K Fitzgerald
I would not change a thing. It’s always been my favorite ride. It’s fun. It’s time we stop cowering down to sissies who are offended by their own shadows. You can’t please evetyone and if you took a poll, the vast majority of people would say “Leave it alone!”.
Pete
Why are people such babies . Cmon people enough of this crap . Our poor kids have to deal with such nonsense SMH
Steve E
Hookay, So what will the generations who lack humor laughter, imagination, and are full of agendas and prejudices come up with next? Perhaps Ludicrus is just a Rapper …
Lise Mueller
Now I have heard everything – must be HELL!! Living with a person who believes a Disney ride was a bit “rapey” & a puppetron type pirate was giving her the eye. Did you think it was going to stalk you after the ride? Please!!!.
People if you don’t like something then don’t watch it, buy it, visit with it – but don’t try to censor it for those of us that know good clean fun when we see it.
Leave the Pirates ride alone, put back in the bride auction, bet it was great. I ride that ride right after it 1st opened in Anehiem, California. Thought the ride & The Haunted Masion were great. My best friend & I actually rode both of them twice that day!
Lise Mueller
You have got to be kidding me , you actually think a Disney ride is “rapey” & one of the puppetron figures was giving you the “eye” – seriously? Did you make that complaint with a straight face? Did you think the puppet would stalk you after the ride? People like you should stay home – must be hard living with someone like you.
Disney surely has more of us that like this ride than don’t – please Disney leave the ride alone. In fact, bring back the bride auction. Who in their right mind takes an offense to that – did a crazed bride hold everyone at gun point until this auction was removed?
Grossmint High School had Senior Day there – My best friend & I went, we rode the Pirates & the Haunted Mansion rides three times that day we had such a blast.
Tim Salazar
Please leave the pirates of the Caribbean ride alone , it’s not real , but it is real history, if you don’t like it,please don’t ride it, I wish they would have left it the way it was, my opinion, we all have them
Lisa
I totally agree. That is a ride that I have always enjoyed.
Joni
Exactly. Any needed changes would be to put it back like Mr Walt originally envisioned. If you don’t like it, don’t ride it!
Jon
It is one of my favorite rides in the park.
Terriu
The majority of people should not be limited to what they experience because the permanent offended minority thinks it’s “rapey”.
Susan Northcutt
F Disney it’s been so woke we will never go back. They appease every idiot around. Fights are going on all the time. F I
Wade
I agree. That let a handful of the woke nut jobs decide what’s good for the 98 percent of normal people. Sad times
Jay
We got stuck on Pirates once for about thirty minutes.
There was no stress but after a while people started yelling “Turn off the music!” You can only Yo-ho-Yo-ho for so long.
Tina
If ppl don’t like the ride, “THEN WHY RIDE IT!” It only takes a few, small amount of ppl to ruin it for the mass! Leave it alone and change it back! The whole point of Disneyland even existing was so that ppl could go with their kids to a park they could enjoy together. Maybe the CEOs need to rethink if opening a park that is fun for kids & Parents to enjoy together, yet at the same time learning a bit of history while removing us from the real world. That was all part of the imagination of Disney…kind of one reason also, there’s a tomorrowland, that’s where change should be. I would remove the Indiana Jones ride bfore this one. 🫠😥😲
M
I Am 72 years old and have been going to Disney forever! Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite ride. If it needs servicing then service it , update it, but leave it alone. We all love it. IF you don’t like the ride. Don’t ride it! so sick of people wanting to make Bad remarks about everything in this world. Lately it is fun!
Joanne
TOTTAĹY agree with you…. Don’t like it then keep your butts off the ride…
Nothing wrong with this ride at all….
I have enjoyed this ride since 1975, and I have been NO PROBLEM WITH IT AT ALL…. EVERYONE WHO COMPLAINS NEEDS TO STOP….
IT’S A RIDE THAT MY FAMILY HAS ENJOYED, AND LOVED PIRATE’S OF THE CARIBBEAN.
PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP…. There are so many people who just like to make an issue about the littlest thing’s….. Maybe it’s the alphabet one’s making complaints LIKE THEY DO ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN…..
Wrenny
Its like watching television. Different strokes for different folks. If you dont like it, dont ride it! People need to get over themselves. Everything isnt about them. Leave the ride as it is. Liked it before any changes. Just alot of fun.
Joe
Enough with changing Disney for your feelings, the world doesn’t revolve around you, if you don’t like it don’t go ,you have the whole world to explore
Robert
Leave the ride alone, it’s one of Disney’s master piece. If offends you don’t ride it. Because there thousand of people who love the ride.
Jay
If it offends you, don’t ride it. Get real people. Everything offends YOU. your what’s wrong with this country. Go hide somewhere, you offend me. Just my opinion. I love ALL of Disneyland. I’ll protest it’s closure always if you close it because of uneducated brainwashed patrons who need to move to a socialists atmosphere, there they sit back and let there Government hold there hands and make everything OK. They don’t understand the word FREEDOM.
Joanne
AWESOME comment…. You are ABSOULITY right…. Don’t understand these CRAZY PEOPLE who most likely COMPLAIN about everything under the sun…. I’m 65, and it seems like certain people have the need to see, and hear what they interpret as wrong…
THEY are ALL NUTS stay off the ride!!!!!
Esther Lopez-Harrel
People – Get over the mass sensitivity!!! Pretty soon all parks, amusement parks, and monuments will be non existent based on those that cry over reality!!!
Jason Waller
Where can I go to say I would be offended if the ride was to be closed? I’m offended that we keep having to make stupid changes to things because some stupid person is offered over a ride. This ride should ONLY be changed to improve the ride not because of some stupid person who is offended by EVERYTHING.
Brenda Vetrone
The communists won’t be happy until everything we the people hold dear to our hearts is gone, and we are in chains, talk about Slavery, Wake up America, we are coming to the end of Freedom
Deb
Good grief! Stop catering to those few complainers. Most sensible folks know it’s just fun on a ride. If theyre offended in some way, they can skip it next time they’re at Disneyland. I’m sad the ride was already changed.
Marie
If you are someone that gets offended easily, STAY HOME AND NEVER GO OUT!!! Put yourself in a bubble away from everything. It’s the only way you can be happy. And leave Disney alone. Us normal people that know how to live and have fun want to do just that.we don’t want you in our parks..etc. And we are sick and tired of you whining about everything in life. Leave us be to enjoy stuff and stay put. You aren’t privileged you think you are.
Emily Kershey
I strongly think that Pirates of the Caribbean shouldn’t be shut down permanently because it’s not only a historic ride for Disneyland but Disney as a company. So many generations grew up with this ride as a part of their childhood, my mother included, and I would hate to see that experience taken away from future generations of children. Also, I understand that people can feel offended by things but in recent years the “woke” and politically correct groups have erased things from our culture and childhoods because they deem it as offensive, which will lead to us not only losing our culture but our history. I believe that it’s best for people to be challenged and made to think for themselves by something they see as offensive because it shows that there are some harsh truths to reality and the world but it also helps us grow instead of younger generations being coddled and sheltered from the real world, which they’ll need to learn to face someday eventually.
Joanne
AWESOME comment…. You are ABSOULITY right…. Don’t understand these CRAZY PEOPLE who most likely COMPLAIN about everything under the sun…. I’m 65, and it seems like certain people have the need to see, and hear what they interpret as wrong…
THEY are ALL NUTS stay off the ride!!!!!
Jerry Atrix
I am offended by Disney thinking this attraction needs to be shut down. I guess my “opinion” means they will leave it up and running?
Skip
I have written that ride even gotten stuck on it didn’t complain a bit these people these snowflake alphabet people need to quit trying ruining things for everybody if you don’t like it quit writing it you don’t want to go to Disneyland don’t go to Disneyland but stop trying to ruin things for everybody else. It’s an amusement park right get over it
Bill
No more changes… to anything! People need to get a thicker skin and quit being hyper sensitive. If something offends you, then don’t go anymore. Tired of everyone being the victim.
Nicky
OMG YES! 😒🥺
Nicky
YES YES YES!!
Marlanie
Sometimes a ride breaks down. It happens everyday somewhere. Not the end of the world. Maybe after a long wait, bring the people out of the ride by the emergency exit. If you know that you can’t get it fixed quickly then ya move them out. I wouldn’t want to be stuck for 2 hours. Cuts into riding other rides.
I would like to see the original ride put back. That’s how pirates acted, it’s just a ride. I liked seeing the “Bride” auction, think it was funny. Put it back. It’s an awesome ride. It’s been there forever and needs to STAY there!
For the people who find it offensive, DON’T RIDE IT!!! There are plenty of other rides to go on. Stop trying to push your views on the rest of us.
I’m sure the people who want it to stay where it is outweigh the ones complaining about it. Nobody is forcing you to go on it. The majority of people Love the ride. My first time riding it was with my Great Grandmother and now I have taken my grandchildren on it.
Disney: Please leave the ride alone. It needs to Stay.
Richard H
Couldn’t agree more with all the statements advocating to leave the ride alone and keep it as it is (or better yet how it was to begin with). Seems like everytime one turns around there’s another “victo-crat” whining that they’re offend by the most innocuous triviality. The fact that Disney (and other enterprises) keep capitulating to these whiner’s every perceived offense is the real tragedy. Constantly trying to be all things to all guests even at the expense of the quality of the experience, all in the name of avoiding any potential miniscule loss of revenue. I’ve had enough, no more trips to Disney anything.
Henry
Let it stay open people today so easily offend today don’t like it .don’t ride problem solved .
bg guillot
I am tired of these complaints! Stay home, go to your local county park where no one will offend you. This is entertainment and for some Pirates are one of their favorite ride. There is no way to make everyone happy. this is what I call an ICON of a ride
CJ
I think the women chasing the pirates with their own weapons was a funny change. I like the addition of Jack Sparrow. I loathe the Change to the auction scene. If you get a “rapey” feeling from robot, you need to examine your life choices.
Eddie B.
You guys are so, so strange for assuming “woke” people or “alphabet” people are the ones complaining about it. You can’t seriously blame everything on a group. Using one group of people as an escape goat sounds very familiar. And it’s about Disney? If you guys are really over 40+ don’t you guys have other things to worry about than an old park? Change will happen whether you want to or not. I enjoy the ride. I don’t think the animatronics are offensive. But you guys have to get your blood pressure in check or something. Maybe it’s a brain thing where this causes you outrage. It’s really not that serious. Once you’re gone it’ll change completely.
Lori
Leave it alone. That and haunted mansion are my two favorite rides.
Bob
Leave it alone! If you are offended then simply don’t ride it! It’s history! You know pirates! Just say NO to woke! Remember it’s Walts creation and design.
Frieda
I agree. Those that are offended should not ride it again in the future.
Kat
Completely agree with you. Some people are overly offended and shouldn’t ride it if they don’t like it. I don’t see anything wrong with the ride.
KEn
Since these are Pirates they will have plundering and mayhem. There was nothing wrong with Splash Mountain either. Not one bit racist. There were no human beings in the ride, just Briar Rabbit and his Briar Patch friends.
Kai Bargamento
That’s right leave it sll lol one, it takes you to a time when that was life whether embolished but fun, I first went on that ride in 1970, and when ever I go to Disneyland that’s one of my go to rides. Keep it as is!
Lori
I totally agree!!
Barb
“Ogeled by an animatronic”…?? That’s so amazingly funny! I’m 71 and I can’t help but think, You’ve GOT to be kidding! Maybe get a life? I’m ROTF!
Nicole
Hey offended whiners!! Instead of trying to put YOUR rules on things that have provided numerous generations fun and family memories, why don’t you find the other offended whiners and open your own amusement park based on your beliefs?!? No rides that are too fast, too scary, too slow, too spinny, too high, too colorful, too historical, too princess-y…nothing but a bunch of soapboxes for you and your people to stand on and whine about how this world is so offensive to your delicate nature and how it owes you for making you so miserable by being so imperfect for YOU! THAT sounds like a fun vacation destination (though it’s exactly what you’re trying to turn Disney parks into!)!
And Disney…grow a spine, remember what has made you so successful throughout your history, and STOP giving in to the whiny minority!!
Kat
Agree!
Meltigger
Right? My word some folks need to seriously get out more and stop being such a dang snowflake.
Bob Shuttleworth
I’ve been on the Pirates ride several a l times overvthe past several decades. And have seen a few changes as needed. Yes the Bride sale is gone as is the pirate chasing the young bench around the tank e. But hey. These are pirates. Right? Even in the films they are not the most politically correct of Disney characters. As for the lady who felt they were ogglong her— hey lady! They are not alive, no matter how real they might look.
I hope the the ride continues for many, many more years.
BR Williams
Best ride ever. Some people need a life. Fun entertainment just like the movie. Leave it alone for the people that love it. If you don’t approve don’t ride it
Patty Ann
Get over it and move on – yo-ho!
Lester
To all the folk that are appalled by what they see and feel insulted by any Disney attractions, it’s a (for now) free nation.
Do yourself and we stout hearted patrons a good deed and eschew any further visits to Disney attractions. You’ll save money and enjoy books more. Thsnk you.
Barbara
Leave the ride alone and bring back Jack Sparrow.
Dawn
I think this world has a lot bigger problems to worry about than a pirate on an amusement ride. I reiterate if you don’t like it walk past it don’t ride it and you won’t be offended. Put all that energy into helping homeless. Not pirates!!!
Teresa
Omg. Someone thought one of the pirates was oggling them. Really. I was stuck in that ride for hours about 10 years ago. The song got old but no one died.
Fairbanks
Well Said & I agree with you 100%

Leave the ride alone. It’s a culture that happened long ago and no one is hurt by it now. It’s funny and the pirate chasing the woman in a circle was funny. I’m a women and I’m not offended by. I love the addition of Jack Sparrow! Leave it alone. If the rides in other countries are offensive to their people and not riding it, fine; replace those but leave America’s alone!
Fairbanks
Leave Pirates Of The Caribbean, Its A Small World, Carousel Of Progress, etc Alone. We like the nostalgic ambiance of these rides.
If the ride offends you, TOO BAD, go get a life and don’t visit Disney any more.
These attractions are for our enjoyment. Stop picking them apart.
Don’t Worry, Be Happy & Stop Complaining.
Russ
Imagine being such a candy ass that you let a theme park ride offend you to the point of calling it “rapey”. Skin thinner than paper.
Joe
It’s freakin pirates!! Omgosh what is going on? U rode it, how just shutting up. What’s next? Tinkerbell. Get a life, u don’t like it don’t ride it. My feelings don’t stop cuz yours begins. Feeling entitled, your not!
Eric Luna
Don’t like the ride, DONT GO ON IT!!! Leave Disney alone already… So many CANCEL CULTURE MORONS have ruined enough already… You don’t like something, don’t do that thing, it’s as simple as that… Here’s the deal, we won’t tell you how to raise YOUR children, (even though some of you need it) we won’t tell you what gender to be, we don’t tell you who you are as a person, SO LEAVE YS ALL THE HELL ALONE ALREADY!!! STIP RUINING EVERYONE ELSE’S LIVES!!!
Michael
I’m getting sick of all these “offended” people that wants the world to cater to them.. cancel something cause “they” don’t like it… Since when does life cater to anyone??? If you don’t like a movie don’t watch it, if you don’t like a ride, don’t ride it etc!!
Patrice
Leave it alone! The best ride at Disney! If some people are offended… They can ride small world instead!
Jessica
It’s fine and a classic. Leave it alone. The guest who called it a “little rapey” has some serious issues !
Cindy
Leave the rides alone… my goodness. This cancel culture attitude needs to stop already. They are ruining so many things. What’s next? Getting rid of Mickey Mouse??? Smh
Janet
For the love of God, it’s a ride, it’s somewhat historical and if you think the pirates are ogling women you’ve got a problem. It’s history of how things were too, stop erasing history!!!!!
Judy
No matter what you change or put in or take out someone is going to be offended so just leave it alone
Jackie
It’s a ride folks, if it offends you don’t go on…STOP CHANGING ALL OF WALTS CREATIONS. Sick of you Woke people
Caitlin Audet
Omg people need to get over themselves. It’s a freaking ride that has been around a long. Newsflash: things like that actually happened. Don’t like it, don’t look. Or just don’t ride and move along for the rest of us who don’t get offended by nonsense.
Beverly
LEAVE THE RIDE ALONE. IF YOU KEEP CHANGING AND CLOSING RIDES, GO BACK TO THE 1960’s PRICES WHERE IT WAS $5.00 TO GET IN.
Randy
LOL to the guest that felt ogled on a Disney ride what a sad disturbed person you must be. And closing that ride just makes me even happier that I havent spent a nickel in that wike pedophile park in years
Scott Toro
I would leave pirates of the Caribbean as it is they’ve already destroyed the ride with all the new updates as it is I missed the old pirates of the Caribbean the way it was there was only one thing that should have changed on it and it was probably the woman in the barrel besides that the ride was perfect and amazing I’m sad if they ever shut that down that’ll be the death of Disney for me
Jemma
Leave the ride alone. I love that ride. It always cheers me up. Also go back to school and learn your history. THEY ARE PIRATES!!!! For goodness sake that’s what pirates did and please could you stop trying to change history just because it offends you.
Faith Belding
Perfectly put!!!
Rebecca
Exactly, my family loved the auction of booty and yelling “We wants the red head.” This means my 2 daughters. It was my husband’s favorite ride.
KMTZ
This is ridiculous if you don’t like the ride then don’t get on it. It supposed to be funny. What’s next their going to put a shirt and pants on the skeleton because it’s naked or the pirate woman a dress from neck to ankle because it’s showing to much. It’s ridiculous how people get offended for such little thing. Just don’t get on the ride. The ride supposed to make you laugh.
Terri
I totally agree! I said almost the exact same thing in my post before even seeing yours.
Tami
Agreed! If people are offended by the ride which is based off the movie in this new era….. then maybe you shouldn’t watch the series!!! Pirates were brutal and sexist…. It was their way! Remember this was history and as we all should know, we cannot sugarcoat history! Don’t like it… too bad; it happened so deal with it! People
Get too bent out of shape over the stupidest things that really don not make any difference in our day to day lives! It’s entertainment…. Get real folks!
Susan
I agree with you 100%.
David
Disney is bowing to the raciest sexest and comunist woke way of thinking and it’s going to cost them 13 billion to please a social convection that makes up 12 percent of the viewers that don’t even go to the movies or entertainment spots. Go woke go broke!
Mark
Right on. Too many snowflakes.
Annie
The endless list of sensitivities these days is exhausting! Maybe the solution is for the over sensitive whiners to stay home in their self controlled environments.
D
Hey snowflakes if you think your going to offended stay off the rides and let the millions if people around the world that actually enjoy the ride and see it as just a ride and not a political statement ,and are not offended, by everything in life or history enjoy the ride,without you snowflakes ruining it for everyone
Kay
Keep the ride open! You can’t please everyone, right! Breakdowns happen, and I am sure true guests were given some type of compensation. I love PotC❣️
Faith Belding
Pirates SHOULD NOT CLOSE!!! People today don’t have a CLUE!!! It’s always been my favorite ride. I have kids and grandkids and they’ve always loved it.
Meghann
I enjoyed the POTC ride when I went to Disneyland… I was about 4 months pregnant with my son at the time, & 1 month away from turning 18… Wanted to eat in the restaurant, but it’s so expensive!!!
This closure occurrence happened on other rides while I was there, with guests stuck on rides! I hear it happens a lot.
Planning to take my daughter in a few years, God willing!
Jenn
All I have to say to these “woke” dumba**es is, if you don’t like the ride and it offends you, then don’t go on it! So tired of this small group of people who want to change things that show how something actually was during that time. Go live in your controlled content bubble and leave the rest of the population alone who actually talk to their children and have an open dialog on what things were like during those times.
Tired of these people trying to ruin things for everyone else. This is America where you can have your own opinion. If you go somewhere and you don’t like something then don’t go, pretty simple resolution. We don’t all have to think like you, and I feel bad for your kids as they are the ones that are so sheltered that they don’t even know how to function in the real world. You do you and the rest of us will continue to enjoy the ride as it is. Was bad enough when Disney had to change it the first time because of your crowd.
Doug Prowse
Those who are complaining will always complain no matter what you do. Most of them are not happy unless they are. They will complain the sky is not blue enough, or it is too blue. Nothing makes them happy except whining about something. Disney is in the business of trying to please as many people as it can. Sometimes, Disney gets a little carried away with itself trying to please everyone.
Denae
Please keep that ride open I wrote it for the first time when I was 5 years old I will be 40 years old this year and it is still my favorite ride at Disney world clearly from reading the comments that I have read the selection of people that want it closed or have complaints is very small compared to the people that do not have a problem with it and do not want it closed down don’t change something that’s been so profitable and so favorable to all of your customers and consumers because of a couple people who couldn’t stand it or got offended they’re not worth it
Don
People just need to stop finding something to be offended by. If I don’t like something, I don’t go there or on a particular ride. I stopped going to Disney year’s ago because they started giving into the very small percentage of people who are offened, instead of them telling them sorry, but the largest majority of our guest like it the way it is. Disney’s wokeness and giving in has cost them.
Dee
IT IS A RIDE!!! If a bunch of people started complaining about the roller coasters offending them because they are scary would you shut all those down?? Get over it…don’t go on the ride if you don’t like it. Grow up people. And Disney…quit bending over and kissing these whiners butts.
Jason
I can’t stand “It’s a small world” ride, but I know thousands others love it. So you know what? Instead of protesting and throwing a fit to shut it down to get my way I simply…get this self-centered whiners…I simply…don’t ride it and enjoy other options that suit me. Try doing that instead…
Terri
Change it back to the way it was originally! Why do people always want to rewrite history? Those things happened and Disney presents them in very sanitized and family friendly way. Aren’t there more important things to worry about in this world?
Roger
Yes! Exactly! Shut it down and fix it back to how it was. If it’s “triggering” to some people or take offense to it.. Don’t ride it…I go to Disneyland to escape from reality. I think we deal with cancel culture enough on a daily basis.
MR Ducks
I recently heard “Snowflake Remakes” and that about sums up this nonsense!
Dawn
It is a ride! For Heaven’s sake! Pirates Definately should stay open. It is truly a favorite and been going over 50 years. If people are offended. Don’t ride! Why do always 1-2 people ruin things for millions. Leave it be! It is history of Walt! Just like It’s a Small World. Pick another park people if you don’t like it.
Scott
Put back the way it was in the 90s.
Kathy
Leave the POTC ride alone, WD would be astonished at all this woke crap! Don’t like the ride, don’t ride, simple enough. Disney needs to quit crumbling under all this woke garbage!
David
The Simpsons predicted correctly again go watch the episode where they go to disney
Scotty
It’s in New Orleans Square not Adventureland. It’s the last attraction that Walt personally had input on. Leave it alone!
Nancy
There is nothing wrong with the ride!! Lighten up people!!!!! This “political righteousness” stuff has gone little bit too far!!!!
Susan
I love that ride. As for the snow flakes, if you’re offended by it stay the he’ll off of it.
Mike
If they closed that ride for good, I’d NEVER go back to that over priced county fair. Anyone who is offended by that ride shouldn’t leave their house without a bubble wrap suit, ear plugs and a sleep mask.
Tony
If Disney keeps changing themes, just because someone is offended, they might as well close the park. It’s no longer Walt’s and our Dream
Ernie
I agree with you comment.
Steve
No kidding! Whatta bunch of babies!
Marc
Totally agree. It’s pretend, enjoy the how real the pirates look. My favorite I liked to point out to new comers was the guy on the wall above your head where the auction was. You could see the hair on his legs that was so life like. Those that are so easily offended should stay home where they can control everything and see only what they want. Stop ruining it for those that have enjoyed it for 56 years. Disney can put warning signs. .”Those easily offended do not ride.” Of course they will need to have it on all the rides because everything will offend someone!
Pamela Sophia
I agree! this drama filled era of people pushing their baggage on everyone is smelly – ride offends you, don’t ride it. no cancel culture BS for me. leave the magic alone. ugh.
Gretchen
Everyone get over yourselves. Geez, it’s a ride for cornsakes. Entertaininment. Don’t ride it n shut up!
Ro
OMG! Give me a break…bring back the bride auction. Everyone needs to quit being a whiner. It’s an accurate portrayal of those times. Changing it is like altering history. People need to get over themselves or just don’t go on the dang ride. The world is going to hell in a handbasket because of people trying to make others convert to their way of thinking, when all they need to do is avoid the things they don’t like. Like if you’re a vegan, don’t go to a steakhouse. Don’t like abortions, don’t get one. Don’t like weed, don’t smoke it. Don’t like guns, don’t buy one. Easy peasy way of life.
Ernie
Leave the Park as it was made and intended to be a fun Place to be. And dont let other people that dont under stand its content or why the works perfectly as it is. Please dont change nothing at all.
Steve
Cry me a River!! If it offends you, Don’t ride it!! It’s that simple! Save more spaces in line. Bunch of Idiots! Don’t I’ll be going Disneyland anytime soon!!
Mary
So a guest felt the ride was “rapey” because of the way audio animatronic characters looked at them? Are they serious? Are they suffering from some kind of mental disturbance that makes them feel that machines have thoughts and feelings? How do they get through life? I assume their lives must be very sheltered otherwise they would be offended on a daily basis by not only machines but real people as well. Their feelings about the audio animatronic figures has nothing to do with how the majority of people perceive them. Smh. Incredible.
DawnM
Are we surprised?? These days we are surrounded by a bunch of crybaby sissies. The world is going to hell and won’t be returning.
Diane
Please keep that ride going if I was to go to Disneyland that would be my First Ride I just love it. If people don’t like it to bad stay off it… Please Mr Walt Disney did not intend to offend anyone.. ❤️❤️❤️
Steve
Cry me a River!! If it offends you, Don’t ride it!! It’s that simple! Save more spaces in line. Bunch of Idiots! Don’t I’ll be going Disneyland anytime soon!!
Steve
Cry me a River!! If it offends you, Don’t ride it!! It’s that simple! Save more spaces in line. Bunch of Idiots! Don’t I’ll be going Disneyland anytime soon!!
Alysha
The ride is a bit rapey ????? Excuse me? What part exactly is rapey ? The skeletons ? PEOPLE JUST LOVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOTHING
Carolyn
I LOVE Pirates of the Caribbean >> I find it comical, entertaining and I always ride it, every time I am at Disney World.
It’s entertainment !!!!!
I miss some of the other attractions, Disney has changed/altered or eliminated……
Randy
If you are so easily offended about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride don’t get on it. As to malfunctioning any mechanical ride has its problems.
Robert v spencer
Feels like that episode of Rick and Morty. “I got a lot of push back Morty out pirates are really rapey we didn’t hold back”
BB-8
If it offends you then don’t ride it f**k bonk!
Larinda
I like this ride at Disney and if it offends you do not ride it. Some people need to get a life and stop complaining about everything. Disney, I understand about trying new things, but not at the hands of going “woke” or changing beloved rides for a few group of people. I was invited to go to Disney last year and passed because of how Disney has changed in the last several years…keep the ride!!!
Catherine Richardson
Leave Pirates of the Caribbean open and as is. This is a favorite ride for most people. Disneyland is quickly being destroyed by cow-towning to the few that are offended by just about everything.
KSue
Do Nothing! Get over it!
Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite ride!
Adriana
Disney needs to put their foit down. And stop catering to everyone. They should know better that you can’t please everyone. And who ever doesn’t like it. Just don’t go or ride. My great grandma loved this ride and found nothing offensive. Please let this ride continue on. Ibwould live my grandson to enjoy it as much as I did.
Ed Baker
I’m 64 and I’m so tired of these thin skinned fools need to get a life. Disney needs to get back to it’s roots and quit messing up memories of my childhood 😔
Jojo
Lol someone felt “ogled” by the animatronics?
Mickey
“felt ogled by the pirates”??? Is there anything Libs won’t complain about? Don’t flatter yourself. The pirates aren’t real. 😂😂😂
Steve
Time for a new park, Wokeland. That’ll shut them up
Christina
It’s my favorite ride! Keep it as it currently is. It’s the best and holds so many fond memories for thousands of individuals.
C
If people get that easily offended then don’t ride or don’t go to Disneyland and try to ruin it for others ! This ride has been there for years and too many changes had been made already for whiners .
Christopher G Farr
Bunch of uneducated Idiots with TISSUE Paper for skin, when it comes to anything they possibly can find some moronic excuse to take offense to. Well I could “Fart in their general Direction” and they’d find a way to complain and nag and try to shut down classic events. Those Fools probably don’t even know what movie that is from…. who cares it’s considered one of the best comedies of the last 50 years.
Whoever thinks that ride is “Rapey”, or “Racicist” … needs an actual education, and honestly…. just to grow up and be an adult. They are pathetic.
Chris
Unbelievable how immature, uneducated and just pathetic some people are.
D
The guest who called the ride ‘Rapey’ is a full blown idiot. If they don’t like the ride, don’t ride it.
Carrie
If you can be offended by anything in Disneyland, GO HOME. No one is making anyone stay there. No one made you voluntarily drive to Disneyland. I know I go & took my kids to Disneyland – to be transported to a place of fantasy. Where everyone is kind to each other, and to see genuine happiness and smiles, a place of fantasy. People get offended by this? Please stay home.
LoLo
Buz killers If you don’t like it don’t go on it! I am so sick of people being offended grow up and stop being so self centered go to Legoland or something
Billy Williams
👍👍👍
Sasquatch
A bit rapey? It’s a damned animatronic you absolute BELLEND. How stupid are these people?
“Waaaahhhhh! I have PTSD/DID/BIPOLAR now because an animatronic raped me with its dead, soulless eyes!!”
Capt Tom
If you don’t like the content of the ride…….Don’tride it! No one is forcing you to ride it. Don’tbe a Karen and ruin it for the rest of us
Amy
Can’t you think of something other than “Karen”? It’s so old now that it makes you sound stupid to use that phrase.
Trish
What is wrong with people. I’m sorry your little feelings got hurt and you feel you are more important! Get a life and gr
M. Eizerman
Seriously. If it offends you don’t go on the ride. Don’t spoil the fun for others.
Jim wyllie
There is nothing rapey about pirates of the caribbean ride, it’s at a family amusement park. With all do respect anyone who feels the ride is in anyway felling rape needs to speak to a counselor because they have issues
Ron
Everything offends someone so shut it all down, theme parks, tourist attractions, travel in general, seal the borders, militarize the police, ban all movement beyond that of work and sustenance…. Biden wants, dems want it, just go with it.
Billy Williams
Pirates of the Caribbean is a magical ride @ Disney parks Don’t let a hand full of Idiots try to change a thing Keep the boats moving right along. Great ride the way it is Disney
Izzy
People have forgotten how to have good clean fun. Always looking for a reason to be offended is no way to go through life. Total societal buzzkill.
Amy
First of all, “wench” has never been a sexist term unless you’re living in the 1800s or something which, last I checked, we are NOT. There are words worse than that and second of all, that lady who claimed its a “rapey” ride clearly was smoking weed or some other stimulant at the time that probably had her tripping on acid or something. She needs her head checked and needs to get off that crack or whatever it was she smuggled in. I would never visit Disney parks again if they closed one of my favorite rides. It’s bad enough they ruin my most favorite ride of all around my birthday with that boring Nightmare Before Christmas crap. Like everyone else said, don’t like it, don’t ride it. Or watch a video online of it before you go and get offended and ruin it for everyone else. Kthanksbye.
Cliff S.
To the girl/lady who felt ogled by an animatronic creation…get a grip on reality. Did you also feel violated by the eyes of your stuffed animals?
David Florence
I was just going to write just that. What’s the world coming to
Vjw
I wonder what that woman who felt ogled on a ride looks like. She must not get many men looking at her in real life.
And the one who said it was rapey- really?
These people must live in fear of everything. Sad
They need to stay out of public parks etc. All they do is ruin it for everyone else
Franck
Just went on the ride today in Disney Tokyo. Enjoyed every minute of it along with the 1000s of people who were lining up for it. Plenty of other rides available if you don’t like this one. If people are so easily offended, just stay home.
Chris Wood
RAPERY? 😆 🤣 😂 probably a nonbinary, kangaroo. Who says rapery? Come on, stop letting these zero percent baboons ruin everything.
L
People need to get a grip. If you don’t like the ride don’t go on it. This is 2024 not 1924. Pirates is a staple of Disneyland. It’s one of my most favorite rides. I’m so sick and tired of everything offending people.
Chip
Seems to me the offended guest may have been a friend of the author. Both very weak minded.
Ollie
What bullshit. If it offends your delicate , wokeness. DONT RIDE THE RIDE
D
Pirates ride was my childhood favorite. I love that ride. I haven’t gone to Disney in a long time, and have been hoping to go again soon, but why bother if someone can just ruin it and get all the good rides shut down.
Frank
It’s a ride, you MORONS!! It’s supposed to be FUN!! Get a freaking life!!! Anyone that thinks they’re being “ogled” by a doll is a complete idiot. And whether you like it or not, that’s very likely what life was like and how pirates acted in the 1600s. Go ahead and stick your heads in the sand, you overly sensitive, politically correct IDIOTS. “Cancel” pirates! That cannot and will not change history, though. They existed, and they weren’t nice people. Deal with it!!!
Steve
Disneyland is a place where people go to forget about life’s drama and problems. Please stop going there to to create new problems and unneeded drama. It is perfect just the way it was/is. If you are looking for something to complain about, stay home.
Josh
My belief….If you feel offended find something else to do. I have enjoyed the ride numerous times. Get a life and quite being an idiot.
Kristine
No! I love that ride. It is one of my best memories.
Ward
Get a grip that’s what’s wrong with today’s world to many offended people move to some other country and get out of mine
Ex
Felt ogled by an “Animatronic”? Good god, if that offended you, maybe you should just stay under your rock! Sensitive little soul. 🤣
justadude
So fucking sick of this generation being OFFENDED by literally everything . Seriously fuck off ad grow a pair you dumb fucking liberals.
Lance lagoon
I worked on the opening summer crew of Pirates of the Caribbean. There is nothing wrong with what is displayed in the attraction. Tell these snowflakes that complain about everything to go, pound sand and go into their safe room and with their little blanket. Pirates will forever be one of the best attractions at any Disney resort.
Mary
I love that ride. It is one of my favorite rides since childhood. People need to get a grip and stop being offended by every little thing. If you don’t like the ride, stay off of it or stay home stay in your miserable bubble. You are whats wrong with this world. . Don’t ruin it for others.
m.gorman
who cares,everyone i know despise disney, due to prices and their politics.
Micheal Sullivan
It’s an amusement park ride with a tongue-in-cheek depiction of pirates from the past. It isn’t any more contraversial than any old Error Flynn movie. If you are so easily offended over something this trivial and insignificant, don’t go on the ride.
There are more important issues in the world today to be concerned about people.
Bryan
I wish that they would change it back to the original but keep jack sparrow, that was a nice addition. People sometimes forget that the idea of the ride is for the experience of getting a glimpse of what it might have been like back then. And be thankful that the world has changed in most places.
As for getting stuck on a ride for two hours, I would have been furious for being left there for that long without a way to be evacuated off the ride. I sure hope Disney compensated those guest with at least a free meal at one of their fancy restaurants or one of the guests choosing, maybe a fast pass good for the rest of the day to all of the rides in the park, or even a free ticket for another day to one of the parks. At least it is typically nice and cool in the pirates of the caribbean ride and not blistering hot and not outside getting cooked by the sun or rained on.
Jc
Why people are acting like this. Disney has been perfect since day one . Nobody has ever made a complaint before. The generation now need to stop living in a bubble and enjoy life.
Everything is not about rape and abuse. Pirates of the Caribbean has been the best ride and nothing offensive.
Lynn
There isn’t anything wrong with this ride. Isn’t it based somewhat on history and fact? People are looking for ways to be offended and just need to get over it.
Michael Patrick Franklin
Come to think about it, imagination is offensive and should be banned from the collective. This is the accumulating poison of social media, and people living their lives on it.
lynn
This ride was always fun! Who doesnt want to be a pirate or wench? I’m more offended at the beach or walking in the mall than I am with this ride. geez!
Nicholas
Forgot, shouldn’t they add pirates in dresses with beards like they do with princess workers now?
Change the rum to apple juice? Have them talk about global warming caused by them burn boats?
Such thin skinned “its all about me” people
.
CARRIE
Couldn’t agree more. People get too offended too easy nowadays. Leave the ride alone. Its been like that since it opened. There is nothing wrong with the ride. They are too afraid to offend other people that they dont think about the people who DONT get offended. Don’t get rid of such a popular attraction because some people can’t handle it. If you dont like the ride then dont go on it.
Laurie
Please keep the Pirates Carriban If people don’t like the ride they can on different ride. There is nonthing wrong with the ride it’s about pirates. That ride fun. It’s good family boat ride. Thank you have good day!😃
HoneyBadger
Exactly! I am beyond sick to f the extreme wokeness, whining, sensitivity training, cry rooms. People have lost their minds and just pick everything apart looking for something to complain and call out as “offensive”
JH
It’s nothing to do with “wokeness” that word is over used.
Laura
You are so right. People are so wimpy now a days. This ride shows history & truth. Pirates such as these did exist. These times are a part of history. If people would take on the responsibility of some of their children’s education, they could teach their kids some history. Look up real pirates on the Internet & learn something themselves.
Sheryl
Don’t change a thing!!! Why do people seem to think they have the right to complain about something that took all the imaginings of the people that came up with the ride?????
Just sit back, enjoy and keep your mouth shut!!!!!!
Ted
Don’t change anything if you don’t like it Don’t ride it
Melanie
That is so true about the bearded princess’s lol
Robert
Why would they “sink the ship” over one mechanical issue. Stop try to pick fly poop out of pepper. We have enough whinning going on about ever little thing. Don’t add to the strife and grow up.
Gilbert
So sick of these mental patients offended by nonsense. They Love a man in rainbows hanging his package in a kids face or man pretending to be a woman in a sports event beating up women, but animatronic ride offends them. We need more meds in USA
Leslie
People need to grow up this is getting to the point of ridiculous!
Roger
It’s a great ride!! All you dumbass woke people need to shut the f up!!!!
Jo-Anne
Please Do Not shut down this attraction. Why? Because of some babies out there? This was life back then, let’s face reality & not erase it.
Keep this attraction!!
Robby
Here we go again!! Trying to re-write history! If you take it down it does not mean it didn’t happen!! This is a part of history. Learn from it, grow from it. No matter how hard people try, you cannot erase that pirates were (are) real. My own family history has a pirate tale in it! Two young boys, 5 and 6 years old were either captured or hid on Blackbeard’s ship during the French Hugonaut War. They stayed on the ship until they turned 18 and 19 and were let go on different ports in America.
Does this make me not enjoy Mr. Disney’s amazing imagination in capturing this moment in life? No!! Not in the least!! It is time to pull up our big boy or girl pants and just enjoy our diverse and rich histories (that all come with a skeleton or two in the closet)!!!
Christine nemanick
Why don’t they turn it into a Louisiana bouyu attraction like where the crawdads sing?
Patricia
I visited WDW in March. I went on Pirates two times. I guess it’s the pirates life for me! It’s fun, a bit silly, and not offensive.
You walk away humming the song! It’s a boat ride in an amusement park, not an evil plot to abuse anyone.
I for one hope Disney does not close this classic ride.
Mike
It’s supposed to be a fantasy time ride , and it is for Millions . Maybe it could use an update, but to allow the WOKE regime to undermine it is Wrong from the word Go . Leave Disneyland as it’s founders planned .
Richard Lincoln
I urge Disney to make a greater effort to completely ruin itself trying to be totally inoffensive and inclusive. Most normal people are repulsed by what disney has become. I hope to see disney out of business in the near future.
Jim
They shouldn’t close the ride at all. They should put back everything from the original ride and tell the people who don’t care for it to find something else to ride. Have a great day.
Gabriel
DISNEY IS FOR KIDS! Why are all of these whiny adults trying to voice an opinion about a matter that has nothing to do with them. The kids aren’t going to be finding it anything that the parents aren’t telling them that it is!
I want to hear what the kids had to say. If you’re an adult and you are “offended” over animatronics. Seek help.
T.Dog
God forbid that they might make anything historically accurate. Oh, I forgot. Those that were offended are trying to erase history as well.
Janet paul
If you don’t like the ride, don’t go on it,! Your opinion is not everyone’s!!!
Susan
What is wrong with you people if the ride offends you don’t ride it but don’t ruin it for everyone who does. I really sick and tired of all the people who want to to destroy the things others enjoy for the their own selfish reasons . Get over yourself you are not that important we all have things that offend us but we are grown up enough to deal with it.
Tom Viola
I am an annual pass holder at Disney World Orlando, been one for about 15 years. One of my favorite attractions is Pirates of the Caribbean. I get so immersed in the scenes, the animatronics, and the period that the scenes that some people may find offensive I find as representative of the period.
Paulina
Go woke and go broke! Disney is offending the majority of its diehard fans with stupid ride changes. We stopped going to Dland after they ruined both jungle cruise and splash mountain. Don’t PC Disneyland anymore please!!!
Daisy
Jeezz! To many sensitive people. It’s just a fun ride. Don’t go ontvit if ot offends you!
John
With this many guests somebody is always going to get offended about something. If you worry about getting offended, don’t come. If one or two guests get offended out of thousands that’s just happens. This woke stuff
got to stop
Karen
This is ridiculous. Pirates were a bunch of drunkards and scallywags in the 1700 hundreds and should be portrayed as such. What next a pirate in high heals and a tutu called they/them???
Salina Brightbill
If you don’t like it then don’t ride it. I am so over this mess. Why do we continue to bend over to keep the minority happy and tell the majority to suck it up?
JH
Could be worse. You could be stuck on small world with that song playing on an endless loop
Argh!
Shannon
They should have never changed the ride in the first place. That’s how things were back then. People are such whiners and sissies these days! For someone to think they are being ogled by an animatronic, that is definitely a YOU issue. Then to go as far as call it “rapey”. Oh my gosh. WTAF?
T korn
Keep the woke people in a safe space near the exit.
Richard
Walt would be very very ashamed of what a BS corporation has become. It has become a vile representation of “Woke” culture😎
Janet
It’s still my favorite ride from the original Disneyland rides. I wouldn’t change anything as what is imagined there quite likely happened at some time in the 1700’s. Sad so many are offended by the past, when we hide the past, we are often doomed to repeat it.
Jon
To be honest. They should haver never done anything to the ride and kept it as original as it was before they did anything. I see adding Capt. Jack though. People are so dumb today and so easily offended. Life was so much better a few years back. Many need to grow some wavous kahonies. If I spelled it right. I love Disney, but they cave into the smaller voice to often
Melanie Stewart
We got stuck on that ride at Disney World in 1991 & they had us all climb out onto where the workers go to fix the animatronics it was weird but it didn’t take that long!
Ryan
Anybody who is offended by this ride is a moron.
Darcirae
Amen
Abby
I totally agree 👍🏻
Crystal
Ya gotta be kidding me. People need to get over themselves and move on with life. How can an animatronic pirate “ogle” anyone? How is it that it’s OK that if someone us offended it’s all of a sudden everyone’s problem?
Alexis Sabourin
I have never been but I feel like this entire world has gone to soft. Just cause your offended now everyone else has to side with you? I cannot stand the world we live in today. Everyone is offended and what happened to the world won’t revolve around you. You need to adjust to the world mentality? Craziness
Liz
Give me a break! Leave it be!
Colleen
I don’t believe anything should have been changed. If it offends you don’t ride it. If you look back at historical events it is a mild depiction of how pirates truly lived their lives. It is for amusement only and has always been one of my favorite rides at Disneyland.
Eddie
Eddie. Just stay home your boring
Taylor
Amen
Colleen
I don’t believe anything should have been changed. If it offends you don’t ride it. If you look back at historical events it is a mild depiction of how pirates truly lived their lives. It is for amusement only and has always been one of my favorite rides at Disneyland.
Cindy
That would be the last straw for us. If Disney freaking closes this ride That would be such an injustice for the Hundreds of thousands That love it and have loved it for many years
Nancy Merritt
One of the best rides they ever had. Very entertaining. The wokeness is why I will never go back. Not the ride content.
Pat
Some people need to have their heads examined if they are offended by a robot in a ride. I am sick and tired of people who are offended, don’t go on the ride. Don’t see the movie don’t listen to the song. They are not the voice of of the majority.
Scott
Agreed
Larry
What would I do?
Put it back to the way it was!!!
Jack Sparrow was a change that made sense, but that’s it. Some people are seriously too sensitive. It’s getting nuts.
If you don’t like it, don’t go on it. Stop forcing minority views onto others. And, Disney needs to stop changing things.
Get over yourself, grow up.
Scott
Bring it back to the original. I do want to go to Tokyo and Shanghai, though. This is a must ride every trip. Sometimes it is our only ride of the day.
Daniel Fisher
People need to grow up. If you don’t like something don’t do it. Why is it we have to go along with what a few, get their feelings hurt. We’ve been going to Disney Land for many many years. Because we like it. We’re big kids, if we find something we don’t like we just don’t do it. We don’t cry and expect everybody to go along with what we want.
Diana
Pirates is one of my all time favorite rides!! If they change it for the woke idiots I will never go back to Disneyland!!! This has got to stop!!
Wendy
I don’t think they should close the ride and I wouldn’t change anything. It’s been a family favorite for 30 years!
MR
People are ridiculous they just need to stay home and grow some……
The worst part is Disney is tolerating that
Cesar M.
Pirates has been a family, extended family and friends favorite for decades and not a single one of us thinks any changes are necessary. If animated robots somehow offend you maybe you need to look in the mirror and figure out what’s wrong with YOU !
Mimi
There’s nothing offensive more than a small amount of people offended about nothing! If they don’t like it don’t go. Let others enjoy
Zz
Put the attraction the way it was originally made, ppl will get offended today for anything, look past these ppl and put it back the way it was
Ken West
I was born in Anaheim and lived just a few blocks from the Disneyland Hotel,every night at 10:00 we sat around the pool and watched the fireworks. I remember the dancing Mr. Toads wild ride and other favorites, Pirates of the Caribbean stl remains my favorite ride I even had the album.so all you sensitive “woke” people keep your hurt feelings to yourself and let us normal people continue to have fun.
Ken West
I meant to include Dancing Fountains, my typing is lagging on here for some reason.
Jeff W.
Disney should return Pirates of the Caribbean to its original form. It has never been any better than it was in its first years. There will always be someone to complain about something.
Stephanie
If you’re offended by the content of anything including this ride. Be thankful that you don’t live in those times that they are showing us from the (movie) because you wouldn’t survive . you land lover! Leave it alone for crying out loud.
Brett
OMG! Give me a break. Are you for real? I wouldn’t change the ride for anyone! Nobody complained about it when it opened and has been the go to ride when I was a boy. If you don’t like the ride, DON’T go on it again and leave it at that. People these days are a bunch of whiny baby’s that they feel entitled. Hey ruin it for everybody else. Stupid.
Paul Costa
Get over it. It still has the longest lines ever. So it’s not bothering 90 percent of the guest.
Me
People that are offended by Pirates of The Caribbean need to grow a pair and not be so easily offended. There is litterally nothing offensive about the ride.
Brian Harrison
Are you kidding me? What the heck is wrong with this world when many thousands and millions of people have enjoyed a ride for over 50 years then all of a sudden somebody gets teed off it some goofy animatronic pirate which is been a mainstay for Disneyland For years. For what it’s worth I’ve been going to Disneyland since the 70s and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been there and enjoyed it and lived it to say that’s the last straw for me. These people need to go to sleep and stay home because their actions offend me And I’m sure millions of others. Goodbye Disneyland it was nice Knowing you. And I also apologize to Walt, because he’s probably rolling over in his grave at this moment I am so upset just need to stop.
Tony
If a woman felt offended because a mannequin looked at her, she has a problem not the ride.
Kim
absolutely nothing! It’s a great ride. It’s not offensive! Please don’t close it. Always been a favorite at Disneyland .
Dcm
Restore it to the original theme and characters. Let them be offended. Pirates were….pirates afterall.
Donna
I completely agree! That’s what it was back then, not now! Good grief people, don’t take it personally, it’s just a ride! Have a magical day!!!
Tanya
Restore it! I like the original. Please stop changing things at Disneyland.
We visited a few times a year every year when i was a kid but with all of the changes, i haven’t been back.
Please bring Disneyland back. It’s supposed to be *The Happiest Place on Earth* and right now, it isn’t
Kungaloosh
The original version in 1967 was already tame to begin with, because showing pirates behaving legitimately like pirates would not have been family-friendly and potentially even traumatizing. So restoring it to the original theme wouldn’t make the ride more authentic anyway, since it was never authentically pirate-like (by design) in the first place.
Jm
I cannot believe that 1000 people can be thrilled and 1 person is offended so a ride gets shut down. If it offends you then don’t go on the ride idiot!!! WOW! I can’t get over the stupidity of people and how they feel they are so deserving! What a waste of air people have become. So worried about themselves and not a care about someone else period.
Susan Hunt
That’s one of the rides I make sure to go to when I’m at Disney world
KBerg
They should change the name. It’s not Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny
Spank You Very Much
It was Pirates of the Caribbean for over 50 years without Johnny. LOL
Lisbeth
Let the guests be upset or offended because pirates of the Caribbean is a good ride and plus it’s been a ride of the 18s or 19s century so I would say fix it and keep the ride going no need shut it down everyone loves that ride people are mean and rude to anything
M Barrett
For everyone that’s saying this ride is offensive and “rapey”, don’t ride it! I’m fruited of the ultra-minority telling us what we should find offensive and getting stuff canceled. I guess they just don’t understand that you don’t Hanne to look. I love the POC ride. I’ve ridden them both, east coast and west.
M Barrett
Tired not fruited
Jennifer
Keep it everyone is offended these days by anything,,,Disney needs be way it use to be,,stop changing it ,,the most magical place on earth,,Leave it alone,,screw those miserable people that complain for everything
Annie
One of the rides I always go when I visit Disney. If people get offended let them stay home. Stop messing it up for us who don’t always take it personal and want to have a great time anywhere they Go..
Cheri
Restore it to the original!! I am so fed up with our culture trying to change and hide history. Everyone one is a victim these days…..they are taught that now. What were pirates like….really?
I just got back from a week at Disney World and rode Pirates of the Carribean twice. It has always been one of my favorites at Disneyland and Disney World. I was dissapointed that Disney had closed Splash Mountain……yet another cultural, victim mentality. I loved the Brer Rabbit tales as a child. Keep the rides!
John G
I’m getting sick and tired of hearing how offended everyone gets over everything…grow up you bunch of pussies!!!!…it’s just a God damn ride!!!!
Spank You Very Much
Look how easily people get upset by other people’s reactions to something that’s “just a God damn ride.” LOL
Lane Stettler
Sick of all of this woke garbage, please leave our wonderful country
George
Why do these people ( 3 or 4) always complain about everything and Disney listens ! Why ride it just stay off it ! Maybe you offend other people but Disney doesn’t ask you to leave !
Paul Gunterman
Stop closing rides because some people can’t handle History bad and good that’s the way it was!!! suck it up butter cup!!! grow up !!!! Stop trying to change things to your liking because you are offended!!! GROW UP!!! IT’S A RIDE STUPID YOUNG GENERATIONS WHO THINK THERE SPECIAL.
R.E.
I second John G”s sentiment. Decades ago people were a much more conservative people and had no issues with the ride. We’re supposed to be a more progressive society but only when it’s convenient for the pansy asses. Get over it and think about the long term. All these changes you are trying to make will have lasting effects and impacts in ways you may not be happy with in the long run.
In short, don’t close the ride!
RoMar
Amen to that!!!
Denise wiman
Agree!
Gator
I say keep it the same who cares if their feeling get hurt the pirates weren’t know to being kind and considerate of people’s feelings back then why are they caring now. And also this movement will fade away soon like the cancel movement and the me too movement. I was born in 1980 I believe if it hurts your feelings then just don’t go back Disney can’t please everyone so quit trying be happy with what you got
Betty
If you don’t like the ride and are offended by it then don’t get on it… problem solved. Let the rest if us who have enjoyed it our entire lives ride it in peace and not have to hear the BS.
James
We agree with Betty. Well said. Have been visiting Florida, for 30+ years. We always head to Magic Kingdom, solely for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean ‘ ride. It’s brilliant fun. If Disney wants
to pander to a very small percentage of people who are complaining for nothing, then no wonder the business is struggling. Foresee more interest and longer admission queues for Universal Studios!🤔😐
Darlene
NO! It’s a original attraction. If people are offended don’t ride it. Simple
Ryan
Nothing was offensive at all. People need to grow up and stop being so weak and pathetic.
Betty
If you don’t like the ride and are offended by it then don’t get on it… problem solved. Let the rest if us who have enjoyed it our entire lives ride it in peace and not have to hear the BS.
Tired of the BS
Cancel culture is out of control. So what if it offends you, it’s easy DON’T RIDE IT. Why does your views have to impact my families favorite ride? My kids and grandparents love Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s amazing people are offended by a Disney ride that’s been around longer than most of them, BUT they aren’t offended by Men in women’s sports? Or Men wearing next to nothing dressed as a female, in little or no clothes walking around little kids at Disney? Yeah makes sense to me.
Nonnie
Seriously a animatronic ride is “rapey” who are these people? That is so ridiculous the few have to ruin it for the many who have enjoyed this attraction for years. What’s next “it’s a small world?” I’m disappointed that Disney has bowed to crap like this!
Edwin Strauss
There has never been anything offensive about the ride . Just a bunch of people looking for something to bitch about or be offended about like a little pansy. Now yeah getting stuck on a ride for several hrs sure ok yeah even I’d get a little upset . Ok shut the ride down make the repairs then reopen it.
Chris
Anyone who thinks the audio animations figures are ogling them have lost their ever loving minds!
Red Horse
OMG! Just don’t ride it if you think it’s offensive!
Some people would probably be offended if they saw a farmer bailing hay because they would think it hurt the grasses feeling by being formed into a little square bale when they really wanted to be a big round bale! Stay home & don’t become a nuisance to society!
Karen
I’m so tired of all these “snowflakes” who get offended by so many things! We used to go to Disney World a few times a year when the kids were younger. They loved Pirates of the Caribbean. I never found it offensive. The animation is amazing. As others have said, if the ride offends you DON’T RIDE IT!!
Alan D'Angelo
It’s only offensive to thin-skinned liberal pussies that have to take a big steaming piss all over everything that everyone else loves. Here’s a great idea…. you don’t like it? Don’t ride it. But stop trying to force your tender sensibilities on everyone else. Stay in your house.
PyrateJim
Nothing should be changed and the ride should definitely NOT BE CLOSED. A lady says she felt “olged” by a robot? She has more serious issues to deal with than a bunch of latex, stainless steel and hydrolic fluid getting “pumped up” over her wishful thinking dazzling beauty. The ride has been around longer than the majority of its riders have been on this planet (what planet some have come from BEFORE reaching earth, I don’t know). There’s no secret to what the ride is about, portrays or has occurring (read as: watch YouTube) so there are no surprises. Not your cup of tea? Fine, don’t go on the ride. Go see the Hall of Presidents and get offended by Bill Clinton for not inhaling, or paying the dry cleaners bill for his stain on the dress. Just remember that if YOU are offended by something, yet no one else is, the problem is with YOU, and not …. whatever.
Donna
My family has loved that ride for years. Disney needs to stop being bullied by a few whiners and cater to the majority of its customers.
Eric
Is this really who we’ve turned into as a people this makes me sad if you don’t like something too f****** bad stay at home that ride’s been there my whole life who are you to say that it offends you? it wasn’t about you, Disney supposed to be it’s magical place for our children truth isn’t an insult history is not an insult it’s a lesson erasing a lesson guarantees the mistake is repeated
David
Disney needs to stop worrying about everyone’s cry baby feelings. I grew up with this ride, one of my favorite. Put the ride back to the way it was and for the cry babies “don’t go on the ride!”.
Chris
I wouldn’t change anything. Everybody needs to grow up and stop being so butthurt these days.
Kevin
People are offended by everything now a days. If you don’t like then don’t ride it. Stop pushing your crap down my throat and go away all ready.
Kim
Stay off the ride and let the rest of us enjoy magic!!!!
Conrad
If you don’t like the ride, don’t ride it.
Riley
Crying dam shame Disney is falling under the voice of the WOKE JACKASSES
Dawn
What’s next? Apple pie is gonna offend somebody and then we get rid of apple pie. What is wrong with you? People just leave stuff alone. You don’t like don’t deal withat period morons.
Denise wiman
Get over yourself! Don’t ride it if it is offends you.
Rachael
Absolutely 100% agree! Stop asking for things to be changed because your so sensitive. Boo hoo. I’m so tired of this new generation of cry babies.
Debra Savage
If it offends you! DONT ride it. The rest of us 95% shouldn’t have to cow down to your insecurities. Grow up.
Arthur F Sintef II
Can you imagine feeling Ogled by a puppet. What idiots think this way. Oooohhh WOKE ones I Guess.
JHeis
If you don’t like the ride, DO NOT RIDE IT!!! Some of us do enjoy it. So tired of a few whiners making choices for EVERYONE!!
CC
I agree with JHeis, no one’s forcing you to ride it! People should Quit whining about everything …
Phil
Correct!!!!!
Deborah
My grandfather built that park. You don’t like it don’t go. Stop trying to change everything. Put your big boy, girl panties on and stop whining. Pretty soon food, medicine and any other thing people want will be offensive. I find it offensive that women are showing body parts my grand kids should not see, men are to stupid to understand that pants go over your rear end. That rape, violence and theft are ok but a ride is not
Amy
It’s a ride! If you’re that sensitive I’m surprised you leave the house because God forbid a traffic lights winks at you. People need to get over themselves and stop trying to force their insecurities on to others.
Linda
It’s just a ride, and at one time it was how history showed pirates until whiners said it was offensive. Please!! Bunch of whiners, shut up and leave things alone. You feel rapey from an animatronic item? You have issues.
Rachael
That’s what I’m thinking 🤔 seriously like one of those robotics are going to come down and attack you?? 😒 I’ve loved this ride since I was a little girl.
Sharon Thompson
Well said
Tony
It’s not the ride that’s offensive it’s the Price of administration the ride is a timeless classic
Kat
IF YOU CAN’T RIDE A RIDE WITH FAKE PEOPLE MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST STAY HOME!!! GROW UP!!!
Lambsonite
Pirates has always been one if my favorite rides, its disgraceful that people feel the need to ruin it for everyone because their emotionally a child. Like everyone else says, if you have a problem with it, then don’t get on the ride. They’ve already ruined one classic ride there, please don’t cave and ruin another.
B Money
These people make me sick and this new WOKE generation needs its ass kicked
Joan Beall-Eppley
So ridiculous! It’s a ride! Pirates acted like this @ one time. People this butt hurt cancer culture needs to stop. Get a life!!
Sharon
Leave Pirates alone. Tell those stupid people to not go on the ride if it offends them. WTH is wrong with people?
John
Disney stop listening to the Woke Community!
Joanne
What the heck is offensive? If it offends you, don’t ride it! How much more is this society going to take from a hand full of woke people? Enough is enough! Erg!
Leenie
We’re raising a bunch of crybabies that take offense at everything that isn’t woke. Disney had better stop catering to this small group of people or they’re going to lose their much larger and richer group of classic Disney fans.
Stay home whiners, you’ve already ruined the ride enough!
Kyler
The ride is still open, this title is a lie.
Ky
I try to understand from other peoples point of view and i dont want anyone to be troubled while in disneyland but the ride is harmless and enjoyed by everyone except for 5% of riders. We shouldnt all have something we enjoy changed or taken away because of other people’s sensibilities. As a kid i loved pirates, so I loved the movies, and in turn this is my favorite ride. If you truly are offended by the ride please dont ride it, why should something i like and ride 10 times when i visit disneyland be shut down when all you have to do is not ride it once when youre there?
Troy Williams
I agree whole heartedly with this comment. If you believe it will offend you don’t ride it. I love this ride and I always have since I was a young child.
Ron
We have always felt like we were flies on the wall looking at pirate life. Rapey?? Someone is craving the victim spotlight.
Ann Marie Iavarone
Totally agree with this statement.
Jon Aaron Galbreath
Seriously rapey is that even a word get over it I’m sick if these liberals allways putting everything down I’m sick if them being offended of EVERYTHING and costing everyone else fun my god it’s a ride NO thay should not close it down
Kristie
I know not everyone has the same taste in everything, like me ,& my family LOVE it. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl. I think just because some people don’t like it, & want to complain about it, that’s THEIR opinion. The ride shouldn’t have to suffer consequence just because of that. . Why spoil the fun & entertainment for everyone else, who love the ride. The complainers had a not so fun time, now they know not to ride it again.
PPessia
“Rapey”???? Lady, they’re basically puppets. Their eyes can’t see you. They can’t move from where they are placed. THEY ARE NOT REAL! Liberals need to shut up and show some of that tolerance they brag about so much. And DISNEY NEEDS TO STOP RUINING THE FUN THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS ENJOY AND ONLY A VERY FEW DON’T LIKE. THOSE THAT DON’T LIKE IT, SHOULDN’T RIDE IT.
Flyingmartinii
I’m liberal-ish to a point. But honestly pull your f○☆■€¡~ knickers out of your arse and stop looking for ways to be offended. All of you who get offended by things that are so inconsequential should all live in a colony together and stop ruining other’s fun!
mammie
THIS!!!!!! Those that are offende by every little thing need to get OVER themselves, and stop ruining it for everyone else!!!!
A.B. rivers
This is one of their best classic rides in the park, if your are going to get offended then you need to stay away from it. It doesnt make sense to get on something that you find offensive anyways
Manuel
I personally don’t like Disneyland anymore due to being overpriced and overcrowded but if people don’t like an attraction don’t visit it, go to small world or any other attraction. Why do small groups of people want to dictate what the majority enjoy?
Becky
RIDICULOUS!! What will be protested next? IT’S A SMALL WORLD?? I am a 76 year old MEXICAN and the first ride I looked for at Disney WORLD was “THE 3 CABALLERS! I loved the ride!! I read somewhere people protested that ride also saying it depicted the Mexicans as drunks and bandits!! GIVE ME A BREAK!! It’s an amusement park!! My opinion is that some people go for the main purpose to see what they can complain about NOT to enjoy the parks!! Stay home and let the rest of us enjoy the parks!! LEAVE DISNEY PARKS ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!!
Rene
MAN …THAT RIDE IS A CLASSIC..IF THEY DONT LIKE IT…DONT RIDE IT! SIMPLE AS THAT. IM SURE THOSE THAT LOVE IT OUTWEIGH BY A GREAT NUMBER THOSE THAT DONT….ITS AN ADVENTURE INTO PIRATE WORLD. ITS A CLASSIC. IT WOULDNT BE THE SAME WITHOUT THAT RIDE
Mary
People are taking their offenses too far!! It’s getting ridiculous!! I always loved the ride even with the bride auctions. There will always be some people offended by the stupidest little things! If you don’t like it DON’T RIDE IT!
Gene
No. We shouldn’t close or alter any ride. Pirates were not nice people. They sold people killed,rated and more. But keep changing stuff to appease the snowflake children who got trophies for parricipating and watch. History will repeat itself then what will they do as their heads blow up. Lol
Don
If you are a little Bitch don’t go to Land and ruin it for the people who aren’t offended by robots staring at them or any other insight thing that offendes you
Gina
There will always be someone offended by something. Our country and businesses cannot continue to remove or change things to please some people. All this does is causes offense or dislike to other individuals. People need to learn how to avoid things they don’t like rather than push their choices on others.
Shirley Rill
Stop listening to these “woke” people and leave it alone! There are probably way, way more people who love it. So those offended just don’t ride it!
Julie
If you get to offensive over things don’t ride it. Others enjoy it. I have enjoyed it for many many years and I love the movies. There are worse things out there. Stop complaining and get over yourself
MR Ducks
Another woke snowflake remake. Disney spends multiple millions on this crap. Needs to end.
Walt
Disney is offensive – shut it all down. These woke idiot libs can find something wrong with everything – so shut it all down.
It must be miserable being like one of them no joy, no creativity, no tolerance – just hate.
Mary
It’s being taken too far. People are too sensitive to the stupidest things. I always loved this ride jusrt the way it was. If it offends you don’t go on the ride.
Bryon
I have nothing that is offensive for this attraction now and the previous iterations. Some will be offended no matter what you present to them.
I know that they aka butter cup would make it in the military.
Don’t like it do not ride the attraction.
Rose
RIDICULOUS to close a ride because, yet again, a handful of crybabies want it “their way!” What about the rest of us?
In fact, the MAJORITY of US want to put it back to the
way it was originally. If those few don’t like it, TUFF! Stay off this ride & let the rest of us enjoy it as Walt intended!
