The following
is a effort by David Tomita <david@pharm.medsch.ucla.edu>
and Don Bertino <bertino@netcom.com> to document
the attractions at Disneyland - the Original (tm). These
descriptions where taken out the handout available from
Disneyland called "Disneyland Park - Description
Book for Guests with Hearing Impairments"
As the theme songs says, "Yo Ho, Yo Ho...a pirates
life for me!" And that's exactly what you'll experience
in Pirates of the Caribbean -- gunshots, cannon blasts,
explosions and all. Amid glimmering fireflies that the
evening croaking of bullfrogs, daring adventures board
their boats at LaFitte's Landing, and are at once afloat
in the heart of bayou country. Once past several rickety
houseboats, the soft strumming of a banjo melody can
be heard over the peaceful symphony of nature. But,
then a more chilling sound becomes audible: the thundering
of a waterfall, and the frightening echo of, "Dead
men tell no tales!".
After a hair-raising plunge into the depths of an underground
grotto, guests behold the skeletal remains of an unfortunate
band of pirates, guarding their loot and treasure with
macabre delight.
Suddenly, cannon balls whistle overhead and explosions
throw water into the air -- a fierce battle between
a marauding pirate galleon and a Caribbean fortress
is in full swing! The village beyond is overrun with
sinister pirates, looking for treasures to steal, wenches
to auction, and rum to drink. Carefree, tipsy pirates
succeed in ravaging the town and setting it aflame,
filling the night air with an orange glow, while a rollicking
tune echoes over the rooftops:
We pillage, plunder, we rifle and loot,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack,
drink up, me 'arties, Yo Ho,
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me.
We kindle and char and inflame and ignite,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
We burn up the city we're really a fright,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villains and knaves,
drink up me 'arites, Yo Ho,
We're devils and blacksheep, we're really bad eggs,
drink up me 'arites, Yo Ho,
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do well cads,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies 'n dads,
drink up me 'arties, Yo Ho,
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me.
Your boat then takes you through a jail, where imprisoned
pirates are doing their best to escape. There are sound
of popping and crackling wood, and an orange and red
glow can be seen all around. This can mean only one
thing -- the pirates have set fire to the town! Timbers
are smoldering and cracking overhead as you sail through
a storage room filled with gun powder, cannon balls
and whiskey-filled, gun-shooting pirates.
The final shoot-out between the inebriated crew and
captain of the pirate ship in a flaming ammunition warehouse
threatens to demolish the entire village at any second!
Somehow, you manage to slip by, undetected, and return
to the sleepy bayou where you started your journey.

"Horatio Hornblower" with Gregory Peck. Re-recorded,

the words mostly the same) Thanks Roberta!
