Did anyone else get a big grin across their face, like I did, when they first heard this announcement? Ok, so perhaps this question is better directed to those of us who actually _s ^w _o ^o _n whenever we so much as think about Captain Jack Sparrow!

Enough About Your Uber Crush and More About the Attraction!

This week’s PassPorter newsletter (are you subscribed?) makes mention of the announcement by Disney regarding the new attraction wherein guests will be taken on a first-person “walk in the footsteps of Jack Sparrow.”

Wow. An “immersion into the world of the four ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films,” one of the best movie franchises Disney has had in recent years, and it stars Johnny Depp? Sign me up! Oh, right. Sorry. I can’t help it! I giggle like a schoolgirl whenever I simply catch Captain Jack lurking about in Pirates of the Caribbean in the Magic Kingdom, and now there’s an entire attraction about him? *cheers*

Well, get ready guys and gals because “The Legend of Jack Sparrow” is slated to open this Fall. Since it will be replacing “Journey Into Narnia: Prince Caspian,” you will be able to find it near the “One Man’s Dream” attraction in the Animation Courtyard section of the park.

Will you be in line to “meet” Captain Jack?

Hopefully Captain Jack’s arrival will happen just in time for yours truly to be able to thoroughly embarrass herself by taking a way-more-than-is-necessary amount of pictures next to any (*fingers-crossed*) life-size reproductions of her favorite pirate. (And don’t worry, I’ll share them with you — if it’s open in time! — when we get back!)

So until next time…
