Behind the scenes of the enchanting Disney parks lie hidden stories, intriguing facts and a deeper meaning behind each attraction. And today, #StartedWithTheMouse opens the chest of secrets surrounding one of the most beloved adventures: Pirates of the Caribbean.
1. Real Bones in the Cellars
Dark cellars whisper tales of a time when real bones shrouded the mystery of this attraction. Originally, medical specimens were used to create an authentic atmosphere. Although these were later replaced by plastics, this remains an intriguing mystery that leaves its mark on the spirit of Pirates of the Caribbean.
2. Walt Disney's Vision
Although the attraction opened after Walt Disney's passing, Pirates of the Caribbean still reflects his visionary spirit. His passion for storytelling and entertainment flows through every aspect of this experience. It is a tribute to his boundless creativity and innovation.
3. The Role of the Scriptwriter
Behind the scenes of this pirate world, the writing skills of Francis Xavier "X" Atencio shine. His masterful dialogue and infectious lyrics, including the iconic "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)," elevate the attraction to a narrative masterpiece. 
4. Pirates of the Caribbean Movie
The magic of Pirates of the Caribbean transcends the parks; it also flows into the beloved film series, which has its origins in this attraction. Later, even the pirate who looks like Johnny Depp was added to the attraction.
5. The Disneyland Dream Suite
Behind this adventurous journey lies a piece of Disneyland's mysterious past. A luxury apartment, originally intended for Walt and Roy Disney, was never used by them. Now it functions as the lavish "Disneyland Dream Suite," where lucky guests occasionally get the chance to stay.
6. The Graceful Initials
Before the gates of adventurous discovery, the graceful initials "WD" and "RD" adorn the wrought iron railings, as an eternal tribute to the Disney brothers. Even in the smallest details, such as the coins, the design whispers the names of the visionaries who brought the magic to life.
