What is Pirates of the Caribbean ride like at Disney World?

Pirates of the Caribbean, the classic Disney theme park adventure, is a slow, dark boat ride (with one medium drop) that features Captain Jack Sparrow and his nemesis Barbossa from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series of films. You'll find boisterious pirates drinking and looting and having a good time.
