Are there just some rides in Magic Kingdom that are non-negotiable every time you visit?
Pirates of the Caribbean
We know we prefer a lot of the classic rides. We can’t imagine not riding Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, or “it’s a small world” (hey, don’t judge us! We LOVE that song). Another classic that we can rely on is Pirates of the Caribbean, except, well, that ride has been particularly UNRELIABLE recently.
So what’s going on with Pirates of the Caribbean?
Okay, so Pirates of the Caribbean has been closed a LOT lately, likely due to some kind of technical issue. On Friday, August 4th, the ride was down for much of the day. Well, the next day, August 5th, the ride was down ALL day, and Cast Members informed us it was because of technical difficulties.

We also noticed the ride was closed for an extended period of time on Monday, July 31st.

We did ask several Cast Members if they had an idea of what the problem is or what’s going on with Pirates of the Caribbean, but we were told that no one really knows.
At least he seems unbothered by all the closures
So what does this mean? Well, it means that if Pirates of the Caribbean is one of your “must-dos,” you may end up missing out if it’s still having problems on the day you visit Magic Kingdom. We remember similar issues with Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios before it closed for a refurbishment (it has since reopened), so we wouldn’t be surprised if Pirates of the Caribbean gets some refurbishment love soon.
We’ll try to get more details and keep an eye on the situation, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
