I have taken my DS now 4 1/2 on this ride all three times we have been to the parks. He was 18 months, 2 1/2 and 3 1/2. He has no problem with this ride, and actually really likes it.

One of the bests. If you are there at the right time, you may get to meet Capt. Jack Sparrow. We were fortunate to meet him and my son recieved a lesson (with a certificate) in pirating. It was a great street show.
I love this ride too. It is always fun to see if the hidden mickey is with the gold plates is there or not each time I ride. I always try to find a new detail that I missed before. There is so much to take in. I would rate this ride as 5 stars.
We haven't been on this one since 2003 so I'm anxious to see the new things they put into it. I've purposely not watched on Youtube since it's been updated.

This is my favorite in Adventureland...sorry pygmy! In fact it's one of my favorite rides at Disney!
Tip: When you decide to go on Pirates they have 2 seperate boarding lines. Most people line up in the left hand boarding line. I'd suggest boarding on the RIGHT hand one. Everytime I've done this I've gotten on the ride almost instantly or within 5 minutes as opposed to the other line which has MUCH longer wait!
