Pirates of the Caribbean is a boat dark ride in New Orleans Square at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Riders sail past scenes of a Caribbean town raided by pirates, and the boats go down two drops along the way. The park lists no height requirement.
The attraction opened on March 18, 1967, three months after Walt Disney's death. It was designed by WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering), and the ride lasts about 15 and a half minutes.
The ride has been updated several times. In 2006 a refurbishment tied to the film Dead Man's Chest added Jack Sparrow figures to three scenes, Barbossa in the battle scene and a Davy Jones projection. In 2018 the auction scene was reworked into one where pirates sell townspeople's loot.
