Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Update: Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial (On New Stage) – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

Captain Jack’s Pirate Tutorial moved to a new stage a few weeks back, and Mousesteps was there to get photos and video of the show! Note: These were taken several days after the accident that led to the death of a cast member in the show, our condolences go out to the family and friends of Mark Priest. There is a wonderful write-up about him in the Orlando Sentinel HERE.
