Grab your running shoes and pirate hat as we embark on a swashbuckling adventure with our Pirates of the Caribbean-themed, totally unofficial companion podcast to the runDisney Virtual 5K Summer Series!
This treasure-filled episode takes you deep into the history of one of Disney's most beloved attractions, the last one Walt Disney personally supervised before his passing. Our first mate, Lynn, charts the course through the fascinating evolution of Pirates of the Caribbean, from its 1967 Disneyland origins to its unique variations across global Disney parks. Did you know the ride was initially conceived as a walk-through wax museum? Or that Tokyo Disneyland features a 15-minute "director's cut" version?
Film enthusiast Sally dives into the blockbuster movie franchise that transformed a theme park ride into a global phenomenon. Learn how Johnny Depp's Keith Richards-inspired Captain Jack Sparrow revolutionized the pirate genre and discover behind-the-scenes secrets from all five films. From gold teeth controversies to Penelope Cruz's pregnant stunt double (her sister!), we uncover the treasures that made these movies legendary.
Ultra-marathon champion Charlotte Corriher, aka @marathoncostumechic, rounds out our crew with practical pirate fashion advice for runners, Caribbean-inspired snack suggestions, and rum-based drink recipes that would make Jack Sparrow proud. Whether you're looking to bedazzle your hydration vest or mix the perfect post-run Painkiller cocktail, her expert tips will elevate your themed running experience.
