December 15, 1973 – The Pirates of the Caribbean Attraction Opens in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
“Set sail on a swashbuckling voyage to a long-forgotten time and place when pirates and privateers ruled the seas.”
On December 15, 1973, the Walt Disney World version of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction opened, thanks to its popularity in the original Disneyland park. The attraction is mostly similar to the original Disneyland attraction, although there has been some modification during the 2006 alterations, which included elements from the hit Pirates of the Caribbean film series. Guests enter a world of pirates, entering sites like the Pirates Grotto, the Fort, Town Square, the Burning City, and the Dungeon. The attraction is still one of the most popular attractions in all of Walt Disney World.
