Great News!!! POTC staying open until June 08... Yeahaw!!!

It turns out I won't miss riding POTC for the first time ever on a Disney trip this May trip after all.. Disney has confirmed that the ride, scheduled for a major refurb, is to shut down on June 08 now, instead of May. clapping This is great news for me and my family. We'll be arriving 27 May and departing 06 June, so we'll be able to ride POTC everyday if we want... yeah I can't imagine going to MK and not riding POTC. It is one of my MUST DO's...

Anyone else here going before 08 June? awesome Excited about the news?? yay

Ut oh, any mention of when it will reopen? I'm going to be there in early October, and the original reopening date was end of September. Yikes.

That happened when my mom and I went last May too. We were SOAKED! I had no idea! One of the CMs told us that there are special "water boosters" they turn on sometimes.

Sadly, this will be closed when we go. I'm heartbroken! One of my most favorite rides!

We learned about this on the Keys to the Kingdom tour. A couple of years ago they changed the boats to fiber glass because the original boats couldn't support the growing size of the population and the boats had started getting stuck on the floor of the ride because of too much weight in the boats. The new fiber glass boats create a big splash at the end of the drop. After we were told this we went and rode the ride and our tour group was "nice" enough to save the front row for us! laugh We got soaked!
