The Pirates Of The Caribbean is a Disney attraction that made its official debut in 1967 at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim. With Walt Disney passing just three months before it opened, this was the last attraction whose construction was overseen by him. The ride was later added to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Florida in 1973, to Tokyo Disneyland in 1983 and to Disneyland Paris in1992. A reimagined version of the ride, Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, opened at the Shanghai Disneyland Park in 2016.

In July of 2003, a live-active movie was released that was based on the theme park attraction, subtitled 'The Curse of the Black Pearl.' Others include the 2006 release of 'Dead Man's Chest,' the 2007 'At World's End,' the 2011 'On Stranger Tides' and the 2017 'Dead Men Tell No Tales.'

Pirates of the Caribbean (Pirates des Caraïbes) est une des attractions les plus célèbres des parcs Disney. Elle a ouvert pour la première fois en 1967 à Disneyland Anaheim et a été ensuite dupliquée dans la plupart des royaumes enchantés. Cette attraction à inspiré la saga cinématographique Pirates des Caraïbes.
Elle évoque la piraterie dans les îles des Caraïbes. Dans la version originale de Disneyland, l'histoire se déroule en plusieurs tableaux, depuis les cavernes, jusqu'à la salle du trésor. La chanson de l'attraction, Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life For Me), présente sur cet album, est devenue un standard des parcs Disney au même titre que celle de It's a Small World.
