Pirates of the Caribbean getting movie makeover

When the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction closes for refurbishment on March 1, Jack Sparrow will be moving in. Last week, Disney made it official and announced that Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and Davy Jones (from the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest) will be added to the attraction.

The characters will reportedly be woven into the existing scenes to add a new subplot. The story line will have the evil pirates looking for Captain Jack Sparrow, thinking that he knows where treasure is. For example, in the "dunking" scene, the pirate captain will be demanding that the mayor reveal the location of Captain Jack Sparrow (who will be seen hiding in the background). Another rumored Sparrow sighting will take place in the barrel previously occupied by a hiding maiden.

The official press release notes that "new special effects will also be added." While the sound and lighting systems will be upgraded, there's more in the offing as information has been leaked to us rather heavily that there will be a new visual effect coming.

Note: Since publication this morning we have received some infomation that suggests this poster from may be fake and that getting us to publish it was a somewhat elaborate hoax. If so, it worked on us. We're doing our best to investigate but for now have decided to remove the image and the information about it while we continue to look into things.

Another pirate cruise for kids debuts

Following the success of the Pirate Cruise for kids a the Grand Floridian Resort and Albatross Treasure Cruise at the Yacht Club Resort, and building on the legend of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and movie, the Caribbean Beach Resort will debut the Islands of the Caribbean Adventure Cruise this Tuesday.

As with the other cruises, it is for kids ages 4-10, who must be potty-trained with no pull-ups. Up to 12 young pirates will receive bandannas and follow clues to find treasure, which will be divided up between the lucky crew members. Lunch, in the form of Smuckers Uncrustables sandwiches, juice and snacks, will be served.

The cruise will sail from the Barefoot Bay Boat Yard every Tuesday and will run from 9:30-11:30. It may not yet be available in the main reservation system at the WDW-DINE and WDW-PLAY numbers, so if you can't make a reservation that way, you can call the Barefoot Bay Boat Yard Marina directly at 407-934-2850. The cruise will cost $28.17 plus tax per child ($30.00 including tax).

NFFC meeting next week, show and sale next month

If you're going to be in the Walt Disney World area next weekend, you may be interested in attending the NFFC's World Chapter's next meeting, which will feature noted Disney historian Jim Korkis. The event will be held on Saturday, February 18, at 7:00 at the Vista del Lago Club House. For directions to the meeting, please see the press release on our Announcements forum.

Also listed in the press release is information about the NFFC's Second Annual Florida Strictly Disneyana Show & Sale, which will be held at the Celebration Middle School Gymnasium on March 11-12. Among the guests will be Disney artist Tony West, who is also the producer of Dream On, Silly Dreamer, the film about the rise and fall of Walt Disney Feature Animation [to be released on DVD (link) next Tuesday!].

Ward the latest Super Bowl MVP to go to Walt Disney World, but taking The Bus

Hines Ward is the latest in a long line of Super Bowl Most Valuable Players to appear in an "I'm Going To Disney World" commercial spot. But there was an added twist, as future Hall of Famer Jerome "The Bus" Bettis got a part, as well. In the filming of the commercial on the field following last night's game, Hines shouted "I'm going to Disney World … and I'm taking The Bus!" Ward and Bettis will be feted at a parade in the Magic Kingdom today.

In honor of the campaign's 20th anniversary, commercials shown during the game showed players from both teams (including both Ward and Bettis) practicing how they would shout the trademark phrase if they were to win.
