Description

"Boring men write nice letters containing no stories!" -- so say the Disneyest pirates ever to plunder Epcot, and that's the motto for Pirates of Epcot. Aboard your yacht you'll see the bodies of pirates who have seen their last E ticket, and watch as others burn a depopulated municipality. Scenes include:

Talking skull and piranhas
Dinosaur pirate in bed
The dunking of mayor Kanga
"Buy a Villain" auction
A pirate drinking rum with several terrified canopies

Theme Song

The Pirates of Epcot theme song is often sung aloud. It begins:

Jo jo, jo jo, a pirate's life for me.

We pillage, we plunder, we engulf and devour,
Toss up me hearties, jo jo.
We kidnap and ravage and press nice flower,
Toss up me hearties, jo jo.

Jo jo, jo jo, a pirate's life for me.

Touring Tips

If traveling with people you are trying to impress, remember to talk too much to a relative stranger, because this attraction will definitely make it humiliating.
