Only flaw in that logic is the rides supposed storyline is set before the POTC Flicks.

The town sequences yeah, but the whole "Skeleton caves are long after all the pirates are dead and we go back in time" thing is still meant to be the framing device that whoever took charge of the Florida refurbishment totally forgot was not entirely in effect there (WDW's having been conceived as present-tense with the pirates attacking the fort while you're in the queue)

According to a CM I spoke to today, the ride is due to reopen on September 25.
That's what a CM has to say.

I do think it will be open by then.

Just curious, but do people generally not like Stranger Tides? That's what I'm gathering from this thread, anyway. I thought it was decent.

I certainly like it better than the third film.

Same here. I didn't really care much for 2 and 3, so I thought it was the best one since the original.
Plus Ian McShane (Blackbeard) was a pretty good villain. He's no Barbosa, but he was good.

That film was endless and didn't make a damn bit of sense.
Did I mention it was endless?
Killed the franchise entirely for me.

Endless, and directionless.
Exhausting and unsatisfying to get through.
Definitely a case where more is less. (Or too much.)
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two.
Suffered through the third.
Was partially redeemed with the 4th.

Mine was killed half way through number two. I have never looked back. One is the only one as far as I am concerned. "Curse of the Black Pearl" was loose and smooth feeling, the rest, just from what little I have accidentally seen, have seem labored and dragging.
First one was great.
Second seemed like so much set-up for the third,
Which was not good, thereby dragging down the second one as well.
Fourth, I agree, was partial redemption.

Pfffftttt.....
McShane's Blackbeard is better than Barbossa.
And it was far from his best role/performance.

Exactly, There is no time travel in the WDW version.

There is also some question as to if the screenwriters deserve as much credit for one as they have gotten.

Even calling the third one a "film" is probably giving it too much credit. The fourth one was Citizen Kane compared to the third.

The absence of the increasingly painful Bloom-Knightley romance subplot instantly improved #4 for me. That, and all the innuendo
