DID YOU KNOW,

Have you ever noticed when your in the queue for Pirates of the Caribbean, the two skeletons playing chess have died playing, because the chess game is at a stalemate-nobody can win.

And on the first bridge that you go under into the next room, sitting on the bridge is a man with one of his legs hanging over and another man standing next to him. If you look at the face of the man sitting, it is the face of Sid Caesar. One of the designers really loved Sid Caesar and made the face to look this way.

(Sid Caeser was an American comic actor and writer, best known for pioneering the 1950's live television series Your Show of Shows.)

Look at the ENTIRE lock at the dog/jail scene to see the hidden Mickey, not just at the keyhole.

Towards the end of the ride, when you pass under the bridge, the pirate sitting above you and his leg dangling… once upon a time, there was a red handkerchief between his toes dangling downward. Apparently, too many guests would stand up to try and grab the red hankie so they removed it from his toes and placed it on the bridge beside him.

And you can still see the gap between his big toe and second toe if you look.

Just a little thing to notice...On Pirates, as you pass the auction scene, watch as the pirate on the left hand side fires his gun, the sign on the other side of the water "pings" and swings back and forth.
