Pirates of the Caribbean has been the traditional "First" ride at Disneyland. Keeping tradition is important so the first ride we will blog about will be those devils and black sheep, really bad eggs of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

• POC is the last ride that Walt Disney actually helped design before he past away.

• Originally the Blue Bayou restaurant which you past as you leave the docks was an Apartment for Walt and his Family to entertain guest at the park.
  

• Originally POC was suppose to be a walk through but After the 1964 Worlds Fair (where It's a Small World Premiered) Walt felt that including "Audio-Animatronic" Pirates was the only way to go.
• In 2006 the ride was refurbished to include Capt Jack Sparrow and others from the Movie.

Here is a Video of Walt Disney showing the design process of Pirates of Caribbean. You can read more about the ride here.
