Originally Posted By mickeysdaman well disneyfreaksk you seem to be pretty confident that it will be open and on schedule so it will be open a few weeks before the movie comes out, but now i have another question...were gettin a five day park hopper and will be there the 21-25...is there any chance we will get shorted hours one of those days because of the premier? have any idea when that is? i dont want to waste a day by having the park close at 6 or whenever it does, that would be a waste to me...any1 have any info on that...gee i hope its after we leave!

Originally Posted By mickeysdaman one last thing disneyfreaksk, if the day of the premier falls on a day i am down there will california adventure be open longer hours? or will both close early? o and i think the changes will be good as long as the core of the ride is still there
Originally Posted By disneyfreaksk You know mickeysdaman, I really don't know what to tell you. I am so excited about going to the POTC premiere that I cannot relate to you! Tell you what, if we are there together, I promise if you hang with me, it will be a day you will never forget!!!
Originally Posted By mickeysdaman wo wait a second...if the movie premier falls on a day im down there, i would be able to see it? the park doesnt close early and everyone has to leave for the celebrites? the movies open to regular people in the park that day? from what you just said it sounds like your going to see the movie that day...that would be fun, the 1st one was my favorite movie
Originally Posted By disneyfreaksk Ummm... No, I am going for the red carpet arrivals. My family will be in DCA for the day. Let me see if I can find the previous thread about the first premiere. Stay tuned...

One, people used the bench a step, when they enter and exit the boats; a pad would get worn and torn from all the stepping. Two, water gets in the boats, and the pad would hold that water and get musty.

It's gonna feel like some stupid (and annoying) hide-and-seek game. I odn't even want to look at the past at what they did to the fate of the bears for that horrible Pooh ride in CC. I am not impressed by what Disney has created lately, and this ride is goign to be old new after the Pirate movies have been out for awhile. You guys may support it, but it seems like all you guys do here is support everythign Disney does- good or bad. I'm just saying I am greatly saddened that a great attraction is being cheaply refurbished to make it fresh for a few months. I agree that Pirates needs new scenes (perhaps a new water channel and a new section of a burning city, more waterfalls, More pirates, better lighting..etc.), however I know KNOW this refurb is going to be bad.... GOODBYE TO AN ATTRACTION THAT HAD A CHANCE TO BECOME SOMETHING GREAT WITH A NEW REFURB, BUT INSTEAD DISNEY CHEAPED OUT ON THEM, AND IS 'DRESSING' UP THE ATTRACTION WITH CRAPPEY AAs...SORRY DISNEY HAS FAILED YOU (AGAIN) DISNEYLAND- KNOW I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL- AND BE GLAD I'M NOT OBSESSED OVER YOU LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE WHO HAVE A SICK OBBSESSION OF GOING EVERY WEEK AND RUIN DISNEYLAND, BUT KNOW I LOVE YOU AND AM NOT OBBSESSED, BUT I STILL GO TO YOU.. I'M SORRY DISNEY HAS FAILED YOU AGAIN DISNEY. ='[
