Recently, Disneyland Resort guests and cast members alike celebrated 50 years of swashbuckling fun. March 18 marked the official anniversary of the opening day of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland park.
When the attraction debuted in 1967, it was deemed a technological marvel and storytelling masterpiece and, for decades, has been considered one of the pinnacles of theme park experiences worldwide. It even inspired an entire film franchise and Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at five Disney theme parks worldwide, most recently at Shanghai Disney Resort.
