Pirates of the Caribbean Old School Style

Continuing the deep dive into the collection of 1970s slides are these two slides from Pirates of the Caribbean. The first shows the outside of the building prior to construction of the walkway and the stairs up the Disney Gallery. (I will not acknowledge the thing Disneyland is putting in that location!)

The second shot is a little blurry, but I love the sense of action. It is one of my favorite scenes in the ride. I also like the stuffed toy dog they sell now holding the keys. I am happy to say they have not changed this section of the ride much.

    Oh, man. That's how I remember it. It was so long ago that it looked like this that I'd almost forgotten. Thanks for the flashback.

    Is it just me, or does it seem as if "improvements" are NEVER better??

    The removal of the Disney Gallery irks me because:

    a: I'll just miss it
    and
    b: It's being turned something that only a lucky few will be able to enjoy - - and even at that it is only a nice vacation suite.

    I agree...

    The loss of the Gallery is tragic. It was such an amzing spot.

    Thanks for the shot!

    And to think I can remember the Gallery before it was ever completed. The place was just empty and unfinished in the early 70's when I worked Pirates.

    ahh...the days of waiting in loooong Pirates lines wherein they "opened" the doors just to the right of the building to expand the queue.
