  1. Johnny Depp said no amount of money would induce him to do another Disney movie. Why? They didn’t believe him; they believed his nutty ex-wife. He doesn’t want to forgive. I don’t think Jack Sparrow will be pulled from the ride, because that will end any negotiations that DIsney can conduct with Depp.

    Stop the woke agenda is wrecking Disney you can’t make everyone happy for many years made people happy leave things the way it is I haven’t been to Disney in 4 years been going to Universal and enjoy everything Disney should focus on maintaining there parks and Rides there are always closure

      There is no so called WOKE AGENDA that is only in the imagination of MINDLESS MAGAS. In any Dictionary Woke means to be awake, aware of all around you including all injustices made against any and all people. Being that I would rather be WOKE than mind dead. The only injustices I see against people are made by conservative mindless MAGAS and Conservatives following their orange leader.

        Wow so Inclusive.

        Walt Disney himself ratted wokes out to the HUAC and had them blacklisted just as I will after I take over Disney. Better to be a MAGA than woke.

    No Johnny Depp, no Pirates of the Caribbean. Simple , it’s not rocket science

      Apparently another non-article reader. They’re not talking about the movie franchise. If you read it, you’d understand that, and not made yourself look like just another overzealous fanboy. Simple as that.

    2. Jade VR

      This isn’t about the movies. The ride is going to exist, regardless if he’s involved or not. Simple. It’s not hard to understand.

    Leave the Pirates alone 🤗!!!
    One of the best rides in WDW.
    Don’t ruin it for others because
    you are being just ridiculous.

    The woke have the biggest vote at disney ( board members and a rather small community of wokee’s ) and now are destroying yet another ride ! Time for my family and friends to move on from disney……its not what Walt ever wanted !!

      This woke nonsense has to stop. They push their insane and ridiculous beliefs and agenda on the normal people. I agree with someone else who posted nobody thought rape was acceptable. They were depicting how pirates behaved. We can’t erase the past. We should be happy as a society we are no longer acting this way. I wish these woke people would stop it’s offensive to to have their opinions make Disney and other companies change nostalgia because of them.

    So e people are just born complainers , I fed up of hearing “oh this is so offensive” it’s a theme park ride get over it ,it’s not that deep

    1. Jade VR

      Couldn’t agree with you more. This world has grown into oversensitive people that have to seek out offensive things apparently

  7. Gretchen

    Its a ride at an amusement park. Its a classic and fun ride. If it offends you, don’t ride it. Leave the 99% of people alone. Go somewhere else.

  8. Walt

    Been done with Disney since 2017 due to this type of B.S. You know what? Life does go on after Disney.

    This is a deliberate attempt by woke pieces of shizzel to destroy the legacy of one of the greatest Americans Walt Disney.

    Its all part of the plan

    If people want to complain they can move out of the country.

    1. Jade VR

      Or they can just stop whining and grow up. Doubt that will happen though

  10. He’s an amazing actor and I love him in the role of captain, jack sparrow. Pirates of the Caribbean movie wouldn’t be the same without a minute don’t know if I’ll even go see it without him..

    1. Jade VR

      This is about the attraction possibly being changed.. not the movies and Johnny Depp being in it…

        Jeez, you folks really love to stir your imaginary pot with all this “woke” bs you spew. I enjoyed your site years ago. No longer. Hope you find your way back to reporting on things that are Actually happening at the Parks. Things folks are truly interested in. This stuff just turns folks off.

  11. Jade VR

    Why is this comment section turning from a story about changing the attraction, into a ranting about Johnny Depp? People… I hate to tell you, as you’ll hate hearing it, but Pirates of the Caribbean was around long before Johnny Depp made Jack Sparrow a household name.
    Try staying on topic, even though it seems a majority of you failed to even read the article, just immediately went into a fanboy/fangirl rant.
    I find it ridiculous that “woke” culture has gone this far, as to have Disney consider changing the attraction. This world needs to wake up, grow up, and stop trying to find offense in every single thing that exists. Offensive thing are all around and always has been. But when we now are actively seeking them out, over examining everything to FIND this stuff… We’ve gone into a sad, sad state of existence and pathetic tendencies..

    So if read correctly, the people complaining about the changes consider not sexualizing women, assaulting them or selling brides is considered “woke”. We have a much bigger problem here.

    The small thinkers now ruling Disney are in it only for the money, and pandering to the weak minded individuals that don’t even know Disney!! I used to think it would go on forever, but ignorance is bliss.

  15. Jeffrey miller

    Woke are ruining the world.

  16. Tim Lewis

    If Walt was still here all these people would be fired. He very protective of all IP and the Character’s, He would not let this nonsense go on.
