Pirate Ghost Ship Sighted at Disney's Castaway Cay
A mysterious pirate ship has landed at Disney's private island, Castaway
Cay, providing Disney Cruise Line guests with a swashbuckling photo
opportunity and a peek into movie-making magic.
Guests sailing on a Disney Cruise Line vacation will discover a 175-foot
ghost ship anchored at Castaway Cay. The ship is the Flying Dutchman,
which made its silver screen debut on July 7 in Disney's Pirates of the
Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The Flying Dutchman's commander is the
legendary Davy Jones, who serves as nemesis to the infamous pirate,
Captain Jack Sparrow, in the film.
The intricate film prop is unlike any other pirate ship -- with ragged
sails and a barnacle-encrusted bow, the ship looks like it was raised
off the ocean floor to haunt the open seas for eternity. The Flying
Dutchman will provide a scenic photo backdrop, and guests renting boats
on the island will be able to get an up-close look at the ghost ship.
While visiting Castaway Cay, guests should also be on the lookout for
the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. With the Flying Dutchman lurking just
off the shore, the eccentric captain may be spotted around the island.
Guests are encouraged to approach the hero and hear his tales about
adventure on the high seas. The charming pirate graciously accepts
requests for portraits and autographs -- if guests can manage to track
him down.
That's right from the new MouseSavers email. Looks like people taking the Disney Cruise Line will get to be able to take a tour on the Flying Dutchman on their stop at Castaway Cay. This is going to be so cool :D
Note-I really hesitated on posting this in this forum, if it needs to be moved let it be
