Disney Files New Permits for Pirates of the Caribbean

Newly filed permit documents for Disneyland reveal that a major overhaul is on the horizon for Pirates of the Caribbean. The project includes a deep dive into both technical modernizations and structural updates spanning several iconic scenes.

According to the specific permit details, Imagineers are prepping for a series of precise upgrades:

• Scene 7: Installation of three new service ladders for better backstage access.
• Scene 11: Significant enhancements to show quality, including refreshed rockwork and the installation of updated projectors and speakers.
• Scene 17: Replacement of equipment cabinets and related panels to modernize the ride’s infrastructure.
• Structural & Electrical: The addition of a raised grated platform and steps over existing conduit, alongside sweeping electrical and mechanical improvements throughout the attraction.

As of now, the horizon remains clear for Pirates of the Caribbean, which is currently operating and missing from Disneyland’s official refurbishment calendar. However, given the technical nature and extensive scope of the newly filed permits, a closure seems likely in the near future.

With the Spring Break travel season just weeks away, news of an extended refurbishment could throw a wrench into vacation planning for guests hoping to sail with the buccaneers. Beyond the logistics, the permit has sparked a wave of speculation among fans: could these mechanical and electrical upgrades be laying the groundwork for updated show elements or brand-new scene enhancements?
