I agree. There’s no story.... just a awesome ride full of mischievous pirates. 🏴☠️
Well there's no story because they've changed it so much throughout the years?
The talking skull is still voiced by Xavier Atencio. The one in the Orlando, however, is voiced by James Arnold Taylor.
The nostalgia I feel when getting on Pirates and Haunted Mansion is something so surreal... My two favorite rides since I was a little kid have such cool history. Thank you for these videos David!
This video probably took as long to make as the attraction, thank you for putting in such time and effort to document this wonderful attraction.
+Jaisonawsome it took a while, yes. but I love making these too. Happy to do the work :)
+FreshBakedDisney wait if that guy who's voices the skeleton logo thing is the vocie of Johnny test obi wan knobi Johnny test and Star Wars the clone wars are on Cartoon Network Cartoon Network is linked with Disney
I'm so glad I was able to see the original "Pirates" in the '70s. To me, it's verging on sacrilege what they did to it in the '90s. I'll always treasure the memory of the original.
Jaisonawsome yeah

We need a Secrets and History of Splash Mountain!
I'm not sure there's enough history for that.
+Asriel Dreemurr For what, Splash? If so, there's plenty, maybe more than POTC
+Lucas Popiez I doubt it
+Asriel Dreemurr where's chara
She's in the other room.
Some people get homesick.
I, on the other hand, get Disneyland-sick. I wish I could step thru the computer screen and be there RIGHT NOW!
Jonathan Maderos I agree one hundred percent
Agreed, I haven't been in over FIVE YEARS due to the absurd prices of annual passes nowadays.
Yep, that's me
Jon Maderos me too
dude, i felt the same thing when i left
In the 4th Pirates movie, when Barbossa and Jack are on Ponce De Leon's ship trying to get the chalices you see a skeleton on the bed in the room they're in. That scene was inspired by the scene in the grotto at the start of the ride where the Pirates Captain is in his bed looking at his treasure map. My uncle was the Art Director for that Pirates movie and had the idea for that scene.
That's AWESOME
Thanks!
I just love Disney history.
Same here! 👋🏻
8:57 I swear I could've sworn he had a banjo at one time!
I'm surprised you didn't mention these little secrets, Dave!
1. As you go up the waterfall at the end, look to your left and you'll see a small opening in the wall where rats glare out at you with shiny eyes.
2. Johnny Depp has actually been known to go into the ride dressed as Jack. There are only supposed to be three Jack animatronics on the ride. If you see Jack in the jail scene, you've just seen Johnny Depp acting like an animatronic. Sometimes when doing this, he'll suddenly rush right up the bars, point to a random boat occupant and whisper "Hey! You in the (insert identifying article of clothing, ie. red shirt), help me out of here, would you?"
+ElFreakinCid that has happened to me!
23 minute video that felt like, I'm gonna say, 5 mins at most! So interesting and well put together! Well done!
one of my favorite effects in this ride is the shadow fight going on in the scene with the ship attacking the port.
Excellent work on these videos!
The guy on the porch at the beginning of the ride, across from the blue bayou restaurant, used to be holding and playing a banjo. Then he disappeared for a while and was brought back...sans the banjo that can still be heard.
His wife may be playing the banjo herself inside of the little shack they live in for all we know.
Oh...and the pirate tottering on the barrels in the end scene that you mentioned you thought got removed for unknown reasons? He got moved to the chase scene - he's tottering on the same stacked barrels which now have rum pouring out of them through bullet holes and into the tankards of two other pirates. He's no longer toting a gun, but it's the same animatronic. He's located on the ascending stone stairwell behind the main pirate and the curious dog.
Ian Christiansen i noticed that but i wasn’t sure if it was him.
As someone who rode Pirates back in the early days, I'll put in my two cents. As I recall, the point of the skeleton scene in the cove at the beginning was a way of simulating that you were traveling back in time to the heyday of the pirates. Makes perfect sense if you think about it that way; it's reversed on purpose.
If my memory isn't tricking me, Pirates was one of the first rides to have guests exit through a gift shop. Almost all of the merchandise was pirate themed, and there was quite a bit of historical information about real pirates to be found. That's something I miss very much -- it wasn't just more of the same stuff found in every other shop like you have now. That was true on Main Street as well. Shops had themes, and sold different merchandise in each. Not many of those shops are left; the magic store is one of the few.
Larry Fontenot it's a small world was first :) but pirates was right after, now most days all rides exit into a gift shop.
Larry Fontenot you also used to be able to make a silver piece there was a machine, its gone now and my mom still has hers, it looks so cool
Brittney Welsh I have a photo of captain jack signed by Johnny depp
8:06 that's why it's always so cold in the first room
Skyethemermicorno ikr
My favorite attraction! Thank you!
Omg, this video made my heart melt❤️keep up the good work fresh baked!
But once again, JOHN LAFFITE! (anybody else get the reference?)
This video was amazing! I never knew so much about the Pirates of the Caribbean. Awesome video!
Dave, you know that pirate that you think is modeled after Walt himself? I FOUND HIM!! He's in the scene where the pirates are looking for Captain Jack, he's on the right and tied up with some other townspeople
thank you!
17:52 the head on the right looks like leota!! and we even have the comparison to the real leota behind her!
Dave,,,,
I’ve watched this a few times, you did a really great job on this video.
Your speaking voice is excellent!!!
thank you t mac!
You have certainly found your calling, Dave! This is EXCELLENT, A # 1 !!! Thank you again!
I was having a pretty bad day until I saw this come up on my feed. Thanks Dave!
I remember going to the park before the ride was built and going up in the Swiss Family Treehouse. I distinctly recall looking out from an upper vantage point in the treehouse and seeing a HUGE pit under construction with earth moving equipment. It seemed gigantic and I remember wondering at the time what it was. I know now that it was the Pirates ride under construction.
Thanks for the technical details and secrets. Keep going!!
OUTSTANDING!!! Really enjoyed this special. Great work & research.
8:43 I always thought we can't see him playing the banjo because he was just playing his banjo by ear.
It has been confirmed by former cast members, that the skull was real. It is also possible that some of them where death row inmates as thats the rumour amongst cast emembers
FINALLY!!! Fresh Baked, you are amazing!
One more thing... In the long stretch of tunnel from the treasure caves to the boat battle was different. It used to have two male voices heard inside the cave warning the boat riders to not speak about he hidden treasure and that it was cursed. They would say things like "You've seen the cursed treasure! Ye may not survive to pass this way again... Dead Men Tell No Tales".
This long tunnel served as a gateway between the 1st main attraction building to the 2nd building of the attraction. Davy Jones was added later by projection on water vapor later after the movies were released and the voices were removed.
Later when you ride by the Mayor being drowned, if you listen to the audio the pirates are looking for the same treasure. This is very same treasure you just witnessed in the caves. Now with the POTC update they are asking where Jack Sparrow is so now the story of the attraction has changed. They are not the same pirates in the caves. It was never about telling a story in reverse ether. It was about greedy pirates that hid their gold in caves and died there from the curse and making them obsessed with their treasure. Anyone looking for the treasure will have the same fate. Also, some of the skeletons were just slightly alive (still drinking rum) for comedic effect and possibly due to the curse just like the one still steering the crashed ship on the side hole of the caves. Hope this info helps. Mok- Creator of ATIS Virtual Ridethru.
The old script in the tunnel before the waterfall effect (fog curtain) was:
Old Pirate 1: Perhaps ye knows too much. Ye've seen the cursed treasure... you know where it be hidden. Now proceed at your own risk. These be the last friendly words you hear. You may not survive to pass this way again!
(Echo: Dead men tell no tales)
Younger Pirate 2: No fear have ye of evil curses, says you. Properly warned ye be, says I. Who knows when that evil curse will strike the greedy beholders of this bewitched treasure?
(Echo: Dead men tell no tales) [Repeat]
mokthemagicman Nailed it. Not sure why they have to make so many changes to the ride. They should've left the jack sparrow stuff out IMO.
HollywoodF1 I have the record at my house. My mom bought it about 30+ years ago.
Actually, the haunting voices of the cursed pirates have returned (freshly following upon the heels of Redd becoming a walk-around meet-and-greet once the auction scene was permanently tweaked to eliminate the controversially sexist yet historically accurate "Buy a Bride" aspect entirely), albeit accompanying some new scenes (namely a caged pirate next to octopus Hank from "Finding Dory" holding the keys) and new, brighter thematic lighting in the underground enclave inspired by Carlsbad Caverns. As for Davy Jones, the Culchulu-esque undead pirate projection went back to his infamous locker, as his was a limited engagement within the attraction to begin with.
mokthemagicman captain
Man this ride is both calming and exciting at the same time.
great video Fresh baked! BUT you forgot one minor detail: In the battle scene, the original captain had a spotlight on him that caused his hat to form a hidden Mickey shadow on the wall behind him. He wasn't always in the front of the boat. During his hidden Mickey Hat days he was positioned near the back of that boat. Other changes I've also noticed: the wench in the auction scene wasn't always in the back left next to the auctioneer. In the mid 1990s she was dressed in green and positioned close to us to the right of us as we pass her. Also, the Captain's treasure filled lair wasn't always on our left. It use to be to our right. And it use to prominently display a golden Masonic square and compass. So basically, through the years some of the scenes have been rearranged and repositioned for various reasons. Also, the figure created to resemble Walt is indeed in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction he's the man with many hats character trying to board two boats seen near Old Bill. That display is poorly lit and easy to miss as we head towards the town on fire pillaging scenes. If you watch the Wonderful World of Disney episode Walt made on behind the scenes story of the attraction, Walt talks about the figure and shows a clear view of him as he appears on the ride.
No, you're thinking WDW, the treasure was always on the left.
@@danielinthewolvesden yes you're absolutely right, the treasure is where it is and always was
My fave attraction when I was 11. I'm 61 now. Awesome memories!
I'm 62 and have the same memories. We went there in 1968 on the classic American family vacation and this ride was the one I remember most. 25 years later, I was riding it with my own kids and the magic was still there, for them and me.
Rich Sutterfield • Your comment made me smile. My husband is 62 and we both agree that we think our age group grew up in the best of times. To be sure, the world was chaotic in its own right (Both Kennedy assassinations; the Viet Nam war; MLK, Jr assassination and civil rights unrest; Kent State massacre, to name just a few), but we were young and didn't yet understand a lot of what went on. We didn't have the technological wizardry that we have now to bring us worldwide happenings in seconds, as we have now. I just remember trick-or-treating in neighborhoods way beyond our own; playing outside from 7 a.m. til dusk on glorious summer days without a care, and no one worrying about where we were or what we were doing; I never heard the word "prejudice" until I was grown, and I was astonished that something that terrible even existed because I had had black and white friends all my life; I could go on but I don't want to sound as if I wore rose-colored glasses... well..maybe I did, but they sure tinted my view of the world for the better. I'm sorry my children grew up in a more pc and over- protected era, and my grandchildren are growing up in a post-9/11 world that is nothing like what I grew up in :(
I suppose the good news -- wait, The Good News is we're that much closer to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then our troubles will be gone for some but not for most. Count ourselves worthy as that glorious day comes ever closer!
Man. I've looked up a LOT of things but what I know is nowhere NEAR what you know. I can't get enough of the secrets and history. Thank you fresh baked. Much love to you!
Feeling super lucky after going on a tour and experiencing the dream suite
After watching this, I immediately went on Netflix to watch Pirates! 😂
Miss Chloe it’s on tv now & dvd 📀
Im working in Magic Kingdom in the gift shop for POC, although not all the info is the same, its still interesting! Thanks Dave! PS. If you ever come to the other coast, make sure to ask the cast members where props from the movies are hidden all over the shop!
Fantastic job Dave, as always!
The redhead in the painting may be the same redhead in the auction scene. I noticed they both have a mole on their right cheek. I also noticed that same mole on the redhead in the Haunted Mansion portrait.
Thanks a lot Dave. Your attention to detail is unparalleled and I can never get enough of the great content you and the team put out. Thanks again for all the hard work. It doesn't go unnoticed! FRESH BAKED!!!
I could just sit and watch these all day
I HAVE BEEN IN THE DREAM SUITE AND IT IS MAGICAL.
each bedroom has a "good night kiss" feature in each bedroom
I think the red headed lady is the same in all the cases. You can see all of the ladies have a "beauty spot" on her right cheek.
Yes, BUT, does she ever actually show her larboard side???
Yes, Redd is the Redhead & she is the lady pirate who bares all in the painting seen early in the attraction.
JEAN LEFITTE IS THE KEY TO ALL OF THIS! IT'S ALL CONNECTED!
Another few changes to note: The cannon ball splashes in the ship attack scene were reduced to a small 3 inch high "blubs" in the water sometime when Michael Eisner took over. I could never understand why this change was made. It wasn't until later when John Lasseter was part of Imagineering that he brought back many of the things from Disneyland's past such as the giant random cannon ball splashes and other details on other attractions like the paintings changing with the lighting flash in the Haunted Mansion. When the Mansion opened this was the original effect and was later changed to a slow transition in later years. Now it is back. Yay!
mokthemagicman the fireflies also were not present for many years. So good to have them back and in a plentiful amount too!
I love Fresh Baked!! I fell in love with this channel after seeing your response to that foul mouthed person ripping Disney... Thank you for standing up for CM's and expressing the truth about a real Disney experience... Subscribed!!!
Thank you Friends!! Disney Love and Magic to All!!
The fireflies are my fave! GREAT history video!!! Thank You for doing all of this!!!
The reason the skeletons are first is because the story is about the passengers, not the pirates. You explore a modern bayou, discover the ruins in the caves and eventually go back in time.
The "banjo" reference comes from the tune, "Oh, Suzanna", slowly, softly playing as you pass by the shack with the old man (Jean Lafitte?) sitting in a chair on his porch just before the first drop off.
Secrets & History are my favorite editions of Fresh Baked, always learn so much :-)
Just some info about the dog, Walt actually has been seen on camera with their family dog, Lady, however she was a poodle so you're most likely correct that it's a rumor. She was seen in the Disneyland television show promoting "101 Dalmations", so approx 1961 not far from the time that PotC was in concept phase. What is more likely true is that the dog was based on the star of the 1961 Walt Disney film "Grayfriars Bobby". The resemblance is fairly close.
There are also photos of Walt and Lillian with a chow that is sad to be their first family dog. May be pre-disneyland though
Good job David, its perfect!
Fresh Baked, PLEASE have the next secrets and history video on Splash Mountain!!!!!!!!
I was the [original] redhead for one Halloween. Also, I love the green and white pass through door in the extended (and main) waiting queue, when the line is longer you can knock on the white outside part of the door and someone on the inside waiting in line knocks back.
You forgot that June Foray also voices Granny from the Looney Tunes.
I do believe that the skeletons represent the tales of the pirates are coming to life and taking shape. Hence "dead men tell no tales".
Great work David! Thanks so much for making these videos.
This is excellent! You did such a great job with this, Dave. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Thanks for the hard work! We appreciate all the work you put in for us!
Wow, this is so amazing! Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Hope to see you in the park sometime!
I have been waiting for this secrets and history series!!!!
Thank you guys!
I must say I love these videos you make. My family and I are obsessed with Disney & go to Walt Disney world almost every spring. It's nice to learn some fun history about them! :)
This was great David!!! I love the secrets and history videos!!!
I love your secrets and history videos. The pirate getting chased by the woman with the rolling pin at 20:25 looks a little like Walt Disney to me.
You definitely have a gift of production and delivery, Dave. REALLY enjoy your secrets and history videos. I know they are a ton of work, but just know how much they are appreciated by your fans. Love all you do, FB!
Great work on this video. Very informative. Keep em coming!
I truly appreciate videos like this one. Thank you!
"and I'd be Will'n to Share I BE!!" That line from the Pooped Pirate always got my when I was a Teen. lol
The Paris one I remember has the pirate's lives beforehand and then has the skeletons towards the end, which gives us a clear story; the pirates are shown living lives in debauchery and futility and dying when they let greed consume them.
Tamsin Parker Art that being said, the skeletons must be cursed pirates who are alive like he said.
fantastic video!! Cant wait for the next secrets and history video!!
You forgot to mention the hidden mickey people always seem to forget or look over. At 14:40 you can see the silhouette of mickey sword fighting with someone. It's not there every ride either.
Where???
Really great video!! I love the work you guys do for us muffins! FRESH BAKED!
Love your channel man. The commentary is never dull, always informative and even a few surprises! Well done, subscribed and liked!👍🏻
Your commentary is great. 👏🏻 👍🏻 if ye agree and wish to see the new version of this dark and flume ride.
yay finally! i love this video, thank you!
I apologize if this has already been answered. In the well scene there is a line of "village elders" they have roped and lined up to be "next." That's where your unknown pirate is. I think that's the one knocking his knees.
Thank you for showing the old ride and preserving it for history. The last time I rode it I was surprised at all the changes, definitely prefer the ride of my childhood!
One of my favorite pirate memories...in regards to the animatronics being so awesome was the pirate sitting on the edge of the bridge (WDW). Everyone talked about his hairy leg! "Sooo lifelike". 😉
these videos are amazing. I went to Disney once when I was small and have no memories of it, yet am obsessed with the whole mythos. You make incredible videos.
Need one of these videos monthly! Great work Dave.
Once again an awesome job David!
Amazing as always. I learned a few new things, got to take a look back at some stuff I miss and got to shake my fist at some of the changes that were made. Thanks for putting all the time and effort into this David. It was magical. :)
#WeWantsTheRedHead
As much as people love that auction scene (either for historical accuracy regarding the skullduggery of the skeevy pirates bidding on the potential brides up for grabs or because of it being a thing parkgoers simply grew up on & their resistance to change, even if it ultimately had to happen so the attraction could be less salacious), it was archaic due to the whole "selling humans as cartel" aspect, not to mention the fact that the other controversial scenes of debauchery had already been changed to be more politically correct (that is, mayor Carlos's wife being merely startled rather than fatally shot as she implores her husband to not tell the pirates threatening him where the treasure is hidden/where Captain Jack Sparrow is, the overt alterations made to the Pooped Pirate/Gluttonous Pirate & of course, the rotating table of lecherous pirates chasing the town's beautiful women, although for comedic effect, this came back to bite the pirates once one of the heavyset ladies began pursuing them in earnest herself, however all of that last bit was changed to either show the women angrily chasing the pirates away with a rolling pin, bedpan or some other homemade weapon or else, having the pirates plunder stolen goods, only to be chased out by the women of the area) as well as shoehorn the movie franchise's iconic characters into the boat dark ride attraction which inspired them (Captain Jack Sparrow, Barbossa [replacing the generic pirate captain commanding his crew onboard the Wicked Wench pirate ship to open fire at the Spanish fort garrison across the water], and the short-lived CGI effect of the alternating characters of Davey Jones [whose squid face is Lovecraftian in its design] & _Blackbeard's Ghost_ [which in itself is its own movie independent from the official _POTC_ franchise, but still retains the pirate theme of the ride] that temporarily replaced the misty dark cavern that repeated the sentient Jolly Roger's warning that "Dead Men Tell No Tales" before revealing the accursed treasure that led to the ride showing visitors a pirate's life in reverse [in both the original Disneyland & Tokyo Disneyland], showing visitors what happens when live pirates steal treasure that's been bewitched [Disneyland Paris's version of the ride starts with the live pirates & ends with the scenes of the pirates becoming skeletons], or being its own thing altogether that's entirely linked to the film franchise with only small homages to the original attraction [this is what Shanghai's version of the ride ended up becoming]).
And if we're being honest whilst playing devil's advocate here, Redd in her current form is basically Disney's positive equivalent of officially historic lady pirates like Anne Bonnie, which provides a contrast if you looking to compare her to the stubbornly headstrong but yet still predominately kidnapped, wayward blond girl enamored with Orlando Bloom's character from the first _Pirates of the Carribean_ film in 2003, especially since we really don't see the latter in the sequel movies after her appearance in the first, since they predominately focus on Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow & his crew of cursed shipmate marauders aboard their vessel the Black Pearl more than anything else, whereas Redd is a welcome addition, because she gives female fans of the franchise a character to relate to (Note, I'm not saying female fans should want to become lady pirates, I'm just saying Redd gives female fans a character who is on equal footing with the male pirates, since she's a lady pirate herself).
YASSS I've been waiting for another one of these!
I think maybe the redhead in the painting is Anne Bonny because of her hair appearing straight, and also the fact that she's wearing a pirate hat
She's called Redd on licensed merch and even for her newly added official meet-and-greet CM cosplay.
Great video! Thanks for making and uploading it!
I've never been able to see the hidden Goofy until now. Thanks for making an outline so I can finally see it!
you're welcome!
Of all the Disney history themed videos on RUclips, yours are the most informative. Good job!
I love it..thank you for another great video ^^
I've been waiting so long for this! I loved it! Fresh Baked and Stuff!
Fresh Baked!
The first time I went on the ride I thought that the end was gonna be a huge drop and I was kinda scared at first 😂
Amazing! Thanks for all your efforts, so fun and educational. Nice work. Have a great evening. KO
A beautifully done video! Thank you!
It's nice to see the development of the ride as well as the inspirations for the films! Awesome video
I thought I knew everything, but I learned a lot from this video. Thanks, FB!
Watched again, good stuff!
great video, watching again and still surprised how awesome Disneyland is.
This is so in-depth. Great job.
Hey absolutely love your videos fresh baked.
