Pirates of the Caribbean Magic Kingdom version Skull

For anyone more familiar with the ride, I know this is a long shot and hard ask, but I'm desperate. As we all know, the Magic Kingdom version of Pirates of the Caribbean switched from the Davy Jones/Blackbeard waterfall effect to a Talking Skull ala Disneyland. My question is in regards to all that the Skull says in the ride. So far, I have the following through some YouTube videos...
1. Aye, mateys. On your way to Davy Jones' Locker, I see.
2. Best stow your treasures now, me mateys. There be pirates...(I couldn't hear the rest)
3. Aye (Ahoy?) mateys if you see that scoundrel Sparrow(?), tell him (couldn't hear this bit) for me loot
4. Aye tis true mateys dead men tell no tales
I'm sure there's more than just the parts I miss or couldn't hear. Any help would be great, if possible.
Also, is there any chance of knowing who voiced the skull here.

Just a reminder, this is the Magic Kingdom version. Not Disneyland, which is pretty much covered here already.

I don't believe it's Geoffrey. If anything, it sounds more like James Arnold Taylor, who did the skull in The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attraction. Just to make sure we're all in the same page, the Magic Kingdom scene in my initial question(s) is the Talking Skull you see before the Wicked Wench attack. After passing the dead skeletons, like the skeletal helmsman steering during a hurricane.

I am just throwing this out there, but is the voice Geoffrey Rush from the Pirates movies?
They had James Arnold Taylor voicing him again after the former Jack Sparrow attraction ended....

And some samples..



If you search for "talking skull returns" on Google you'll get quite a few other of the quotes you're looking for..

I figured it was JAT after my latest listen. Thanks very much for confirming my suspicions.
And a very big thank you for the videos and the tip. So far, I guess I have an updated list. Unsure if it would be necessary to update my original post or just leave it here, but either way, here's what quotes I got so far...
  • Aye tis true mateys dead men tell no tales
  • Aye, mateys. On your way to Davy Jones' Locker, I see.
  • Aye, mateys, if you see that scoundrel Sparrow, tell him I'm still waitin' for me loot.
  • Hmm. Be this vessel seaworthy? Or be it worthy of Davy Jones?
  • Aye, ye scallywags, save some room for your old mate, Jolly Roger, eh?
  • Get ready to say hello...to Davy Jones.
  • Look sharp, me hearties, Davy Jones be seeking new recruits just ahead.
And then there's the only one I have so far that I don't have full understanding...
  • Best stow your treasures now, me mateys. There be pirates...(I couldn't hear the rest)
Presuming they're not out of order, or God forbid there's more...though I wouldn't be surprised.

I think he's saying " There be Pirates on The Port Side!"

Another one I found says., "Avast Yee Brave Scallywags. It be too late to alter course!"


And here's yet another one not listed...It's time stamped when he begins to talk.

I don't know about the "Port Side" bit but that's a good start.

In that first video, I hear bits of one: "Avast (can't hear parts), see you on the other side...of Davy Jones' Locker!"
The second video: "This vessel be right for smuggling. Best anchor at the next port." It is very possible the skull says "Aye" beforehand because you can see his mouth was moving before the line came out.
Thanks again for all the help so far!

Kind of unrelated, but still in the same park, I was curious about the pre-movie additions version, and I found at least one quote.
"Avast there, lubbers there be rough waters ahead. Sit closer together and keep your ruddy hands inboard!"

Time-stamped at 2002 version of the ride.

Given the title, I thought this was going to be a question about the skull you can see in the rock formation before the beach scene. If you look ahead even earlier than that, for a moment, where the waterfall comes out there's a hidden Mickey.

Ooh. Interesting. Was it there the whole time or is it a recent change? Also, is there an image I can reference to that?
