Disney Parks Blog made an interesting announcement today.  It appears that Pirates of the Caribbean has been under refurbishment at Disneyland Paris with the new changes opening at the park on July 24th.  We have learned one of the major changes within the attraction will also be made at the Walt Disney World version of the attraction in Florida, as well as the Disneyland version of the attraction in California.  This major change impacts the iconic and famous scene with the “redhead” where she appears at the “wench auction” and you hear the pirates chanting, “we’s wants the redhead”.

With this change, the “redhead” will still be in the attraction, but with an entirely different role.  Per Disney Parks Blog, “You’ll even discover that a familiar character is playing a new role joining the pirates ranks and helping the local townspeople “unload” their valuables at the Mercado auction.”

Here is the artist rendering of what we can expect the new scene to look like without any reference to a “wench auction”.

This is a fairly major change to the story from the original attraction.  The “redhead” is a popular character within the attraction, so we are at least very glad that she won’t be going anywhere.  These changes are confirmed to be coming to Walt Disney World in 2018 with specific opening dates still unknown.

What do you all think of these new changes?  Are you excited to see what it will all look like when it is done?

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
