The attraction's Torre del Cielo clock tower exterior was refurbished and repainted from weathered off-white to brown with maroon roof shingles to better match Castillo del Morro, ahead of the adjacent Beak and Barrel tavern build-out.
The bride/wench auction was rethemed: the redheaded woman was recast as a pistol-toting pirate named Redd helping auction off goods plundered from the town, replacing the 'We wants the redhead!' wife auction. The ride closed Feb 26 and reopened March 19.
A mermaid effect was added to the grotto/beach scene as an On Stranger Tides tie-in: a swimming projection with a water-fin disturbance, a beached mermaid skeleton, and the song 'My Jolly Sailor Bold.'
A 'Dead Man's Chest' film tie-in overlay debuted alongside the movie's release: Captain Jack Sparrow Audio-Animatronics were added across three scenes, Captain Barbossa was added captaining the ship in the fort battle scene, and a Davy Jones mist-screen projection was added near the grotto.
The chase scene was softened so pirates pursued food rather than women: the 'Pooped Pirate' was recast as the food-seeking 'Gluttonous Pirate' and the woman hiding in the barrel was replaced by a cat.
Pirates of the Caribbean opened in Adventureland as an abridged version of the Disneyland original, debuting alongside the surrounding Caribbean Plaza.
