Recently, Pirates of the Caribbean has been dealing with errors. On Pirates of the Caribbean, you’ll sail past haunted Dead Man’s Cove, and navigate cannon fire between a Caribbean fort and a striking 12-gun galleon. You’ll behold boisterous buccaneers drunk on the spoils of plunderin’ as flames engulf a seaside town. Be sure to keep a spry eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow, from The Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Ye beware, mateys: Dead men tell no tales!

While this is not supposed to happen, it is not uncommon for errors to occur while at Disney World. Disney Cast Members announced a warning to Disney Park Guests enjoying the attraction over the loud speaker saying, “Attention in Pirates, animation turning off.’ This moment left Guests wondering why they were turning off.

From time to time, malfunctions can happen, even at “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Disney Cast Members work to ensure that each trip is magical, even when technical errors occur. Please be sure to be kind to Cast Members when instances like these occur and understand that they are working as hard as they can to make sure the ride functions appropriately.
