‘A Pirate’s Adventure’ Now Open at Magic Kingdom® Park

A Pirates Adventure Enlistment Building Back in January, we told you about a new interactive experience coming to the Adventureland® area of Magic Kingdom® Park. That new attraction, A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas, is now open to guests.

Participating in A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas is easy! Head over to The Crow’s Nest in Adventureland® where you will enlist. From there, you will use your magic talisman and a special map to complete five different pirate raids. If you succeed at finding all five pieces of treasure, then and only then will you become an official member of Captain Jack’s crew! We don’t want to give too many details and spoil any of the surprises, but we will warn you to beware of the enemies that stand between you and the treasures!

Each of the 5 missions take about 20 minutes to complete, so A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas can easily be added into your day at Magic Kingdom® Park. Have an upcoming ADR or Disney’s FASTPASS® to use? No problem. Any of the raids can be stopped or restarted throughout the day. This new interactive attraction is included with standard admission to Magic Kingdom® Park.

We have a few photos to share from our latest adventure. If you’d like to see A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas in action, check out this blog post that had a special video sneak peek.

Two New Interactive Experiences Coming to the Walt Disney World® Resort

The Walt Disney World® Resort has announced the addition of two new interactive experiences to their Theme Parks this spring.

In Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, guests will be able to become Wilderness Explorers and share Russell’s (from Disney•Pixar film Up) love for the adventure organization. Guests will use field guides to help complete challenges and earn badges throughout the park. With over 30 different badges, Wilderness Explorers will be a fun way to experience the park!

Inside the Adventureland® Area of Magic Kingdom® Park, guests can soon take part in A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas. Using their pirate map and magic talisman, participants will complete five different pirate raids to help locate the missing treasures. A place in Captain Jack’s new crew is awaiting anyone who is successful in helping him fight off pirate enemies like Captain Barbossa and Royal Navy. Unlike the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom® game, this new adventure will not be a card-powered game.

Wilderness Explorers and A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas are planned to open this spring, although no official dates have been announced.

Pete’s Silly Sideshow Coming To Storybook Circus

Our guests who have been fortunate enough to visit the Storybook Circus section of the New Fantasyland® area have no doubt been amazed at the new additions to the Magic Kingdom®. But while touring the area, it is hard to not notice that the Storybook Circus area is still not completely open. Details on 2 of those unfinished locations were just released today.

One of the big-top tents will house Pete’s Silly Sideshow. Inside, guests will have the opportunity to meet some of their favorite Disney characters who secretly have some circus-like special talents! The other tent will be Big Top Souvenirs.

Here’s a first look inside Pete’s Silly Sideshow:

Hall of Presidents Celebrates Our Nation’s Leaders Daily

Happy Presidents’ Day!

It seems like no better time to take a behind-the-scenes look at the Hall of Presidents Attraction at the Magic Kingdom® Park. The Hall of Presidents was inspired by the “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” exhibit that Walt featured at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. When the Hall of Presidents opened in 1971, Walt’s original one-man-show was taken to a new level when all of the past Presidents were presented on stage at the same time. Since then, each new President has been added to the show.

Disney Imagineers joined with Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin to complete the latest refurbishment which includes President Obama.

Blaine Gibson, the original artist of the animatronics in the Hall of Presidents, created all of the figures with the exception of Barack Obama. Obama was sculpted by Gibson’s protege, Valerie Edwards.

Updating a Classic Attraction

Walt Disney Imagineering announced that The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) at Magic Kingdom® Park is already undergoing changes behind closed doors that will reshape the attraction into a version reminiscent of the original show.

The Walt Disney World® attraction, originally called Tropical Serenade, has been entertaining guests since the theme park’s opening day on Oct. 1, 1971. Its winged hosts, Jose, Fritz, Pierre and Michael, led 200 other birds, tikis and flowers in an entertaining musical Polynesian revue. Tropical Serenade was reshaped into The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) in 1998, with the addition of Iago (from “Aladdin”) and Zazu (from “The Lion King”).

The latest version of the attraction, which will be called Enchanted Tiki Room, will debut at Magic Kingdom Park later this summer.
