The fact that he doesn't do photos or autographs says to me he must be equity. Alas. I'd LOVE to have a picture of me with Captain Jack while I'm wearing my best pirate's hat. Arrrggghh!

We have had several times where the show has been canceled because the performers are losing their voices. Thats one other reason the show is not on a schedule anymore. The unofficial times that we give out at Pirates of the Caribben for the Tutorial show are 10:15, 11:20, 12:25, big break, 2:15, 3:20, 4:25. Basically each hour and 5 mins. During a big meeting for the new celebration of A Year of a Million Dreams. I did hear that the Show will be continued at least till the end of the Pirates and Princess Parties in Jan. Sorry for Jack not doing pictures or a meet and greet. But we have been fearing the size of the line he would draw at WDW. But it has not been ruled out completely. Keep to the Code....

Or is it all just their voice trying to carry over those spaces, guests, and the local noise level? >> Sorry for Jack not doing pictures or a meet and greet. But we have been fearing the size of the line he would draw at WDW << I understand this completely. Guests could easily keep poor Jack out there fully until his next show. Maybe there could be a way where there was a "showtime Jack" and then perhaps someone else to be the "signing and photo Jack."
