If you want one last shot at that beautiful redhead lined up in the front of the "wench auction", you're going to have to get yourself to Walt Disney World before February 26th, 2018. That's the day Pirates of the Caribbean will go down for refurbishment. Upon it's return March 19th, 2018 the classic auction will be replaced by the politically-correct version with the redhead joining into the pirating fray overseeing a "loot auction". I still don't understand this mass stupidity. They're pirates, not nice people, scallywags, crooks, & thieves. They're supposed to be unsavory characters, I've heard Walt describe this ride. We erase history to make us feel better now a days, & I'm wondering when this will stop? Some things are wrong, but they are there to open up conversations on why they're wrong. Anyway, I know I will be visiting this classic redhead at least one more time before she's retired. What do y'all think about this though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
A Look At Updated Pirates of The Caribbean Ride At Disneyland Paris & I Still Want My Redhead
Not long ago, Disney not only let everyone know the "We want the Redhead!" Auction Scene would be removed, but that this would be repeated at all Pirates of the Caribbean attractions. It's an understatement to say that this did not go over well. Now Annual Passholders got a special glimpse of the ride & DLP Welcome has put up this first look. There's a couple really cool things like the swordfight & the skeleton changing Barbossa, so take the time to check it out. I still miss the Redhead scene though, I would even join in the chant. This new one seems to lack the character. As I said before, these are pirates, it added some realism. That's why it was there in the first place. Will it be missed? Yes. Is it a noticeable missing piece to a first timer going through? No. So personally, while I not only miss the scene, & really don't like the reason why this change has occurred, it does not take away from the ride either way. Love to know what you think though.

Changes For "Pirates of the Caribbean" Both Good & Bad It Seems
Yes, it seems the classic "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride in Disneyland Paris will be going through some major changes when it reopens July 24th. As well as some eventual changes coming stateside as well. Chip & Co. reports when the Disneyland Paris attraction reopens it will now contain Captain Barbossa, ghostly visages of Davy Jones & Blackbeard warning "dead men DO tell tales", & a new part for the famous Redhead (More on that later). The ride will also feature new enhanced Audio-Animatronics, cosutmes, special effects, lighting & sound, some of which classical music themes from the films. Oh yeah, Captain Jack has also renamed the Blue Lagoon Restaurant after himself. It seems he won it in a wager. This is all really cool, save one part. I enjoyed the addition of Jack stateside, as well as Davy Jones. Even though it sadly seemed to shorten the length of the ride. This however is just wrong. I mentioned the Redhead is getting a new part. She will Yes, it looks like the "We want the redhead auction will now be over." Not only that though, similar refurbishmentsare expected to take place in Disneyland & Magic Kingdom in 2018. They say it has to do with the changing of the times. I'm of the thought that pirates set in a time long ago don't change with the times. If they changed with the times this movie would look a lot more like that Tom Hanks movie Captain Phillips. Anyway, they're still leaving the line, "we want the redhead". Now she'll be taking part in the pirating. I just can't help feeling this is a bad change for the wrong reasons. What do you think? Leave the classics alone? Or are we not big enough to realize part of history anymore without taking it personal? Remember this is a ride about pirates, scallywags, thieves, & murderers.
