More Pirates...

MousePlanet had a pretty good review of the updated Pirates attraction at Disneyland, complete with an edited video of the changes.

For all the doom and gloom predictions of the uber-fans, Disney has done an extremely respectful job in melding the film and attraction storylines. The traditional Pirates music is still dominant in the attraction, classic scenes have been left alone, favorite characters like the auctioneer and red head are right where they were when the ride closed for refurbishment in March, and the added Pirates film story elements feel like natural extensions of the existing premise. In short, you have nothing to fear from these pirates.
