Here's a unique Pirates memory:I remember a flood that occurred in 1985-ish when a sewer main broke or was clogged so that water started pouring in through the drains in the restroom located near "The Pit" (Cast Member restaurant) in the "Cast Members Only" area located backstage under New Orleans Square. This restroom and cafetria were located right beneath (or at least beside) the Pirates, in the bowels of New Orleans Square. I worked Day Custodial at the time and we had large bags of dirty linens that we used as sand bags to block the flooding restroom. The bags in the doorway held back the water until plumbers could arrive. The water got pretty darn deep in that restroom in the interim (almost thigh-high). Nothing like some sewer water to liven up lunch at "The Pit." They got the flood under control eventually and everything was cleaned up. Pirates had a way of flooding (what can you expect from a 20+ year old water ride?). Nevertheless, New Orleans Square and the Pirates remain among my all time favorites at the Park.
Great to see the "old" Pirates stuff you posted! I'm kind of a Disney "purist," so anything that harkens back to the roots of POTC and Haunted Mansion (as they were originally designed and built) always hits my core sensibilities!

Thanks for posting!

I love this disc!

The version I bought was at one of the Wonderland Music kiosks. After a few years the disc stopped working. Good thing I made a copy of it!
