That is great, and yes it would be a perfect fit for the area...When we were in Shanghai, we noticed the Pirates area was so fleshed-out They had a very similar entrance to the land, and the fort and village were much more elaborate...plus a whole lagoon of shipwrecks out front...and a gigantic theater with a Pirates show. THe MK could never fit all of that, but it could definitely be more of a Miniland with a much more immersive feel.

You could technically do a lot of that, but you’d likely have to sacrifice Jungle Cruise.

I remember when the Fuente De La Fortuna was a working fountain... Honestly that whole Pirates area could really use an upgrade... Make it much more of a Caribbean village... Add masts and saild just over that walls towars the Jungle Cruise...so it appears there are ships moored just over the wall...

Yes, what modern WDI doesn't seem to be aware of because of the various changes made to the area over the years was that Caribbean Plaza and the town in the attraction now known as Puerto Duerde was intended by WED to be one and the same and the building fronting the attraction was supposed to be the fort that the Wicked Wench was attacking in the attraction and that is why the cannons outside were firing and you could hear the soldiers preparing to fire in the queue. Of course, in 2006 when Jack was added, I am assuming the WDI team responsible who spend most of their time in California anyway assumed that the WDW version was just an abbreviation of the Disneyland version and thus turned off the cannons outside. added the new marquees which look more like movie posters than organic parts of the plaza and for many years blasted the movie soundtrack throughout the area. Removed the barker bird and the talking skull (Though he later returned conveniently with an ulterior motive, to sell photos) Decided to blast the overture music from the Disneyland versions queue throughout the Florida queue drowning out the soldier audio. Put in the "Marketing Mist" of Davy Jones and Blackbeard. threw in the grotto pan flute music which doesn't really work with the Florida staging of the Dead Mans Cove scene. Both of the last two are now thankfully gone. and of course, added the Where is Jack Sparrow subplot that has of course been damaging to every version of the attraction and removed a scene with approximately 4 human AA's for one Drunken Johny Depp AA conversing with a parrot.

I would rather not be borrowing ideas from the park which is very clearly what all the parks would look like with nothing but IPs had they been built under Iger.

Didn't our Pirates "mini land" just close Tortuga???!
No synergy. Such a joke. They just don't get the possibilities!

I don't know what more you can do with the premise of a fast-food service featuring bad Mexican food that's only open a few months every year. Also, the Tortuga name is another major continuity error since Tortuga is a firmly established location in the movie franchise and the idea of Caribbean Plaza as originally designed by WED was that it was part of the town now canonically known as Puerto Duerde though obviously that idea was apparently not apparent to most of the Imagineers who have messed with the area in the last 20 years.

Also, it's the same guy posting all of the AI videos every time. You can usually tell by the sound quality as well. BritAIn.

The thing is, I was trying to find a way to use AI legitimately for my real work, like to create thoughtful and well-researched videos without the need for camera, studio equipment, etc. But the results were always off-target, unrealistic and creepy.

I then realized that while AI isn’t quite there for authenticity, it’s perfect for poking fun at the inauthentic and eye-rollingly fake corporate PR machine.

(It is funny how wrong it gets my voice sometimes.)
