Yo ho, yo ho it's the Pirates of the Caribbean Suite for me! This installment of the Disneyland Dream Suites brings us to the last in the series. What has been considered the greatest dark ride ever built has one of the nicest hotel suites even sharing the name. Pressing the doorbell queues up the song from the attraction. Past the heavy wooden doors guests are greeted by a poster from the most recent pirates movie.
The living room is ship shape, pardon the pun. The entire suite is layered with details from both the attraction and movies that shared it's name. A model of the Wicked Wench sits inside a glass case, this was the ship before it was turned into the Black Pearl. Other props, models and replicas from the movies and ride adorn the walls.
There is nothing dainty about the rooms. Wood and iron rule the furnishings just like they did the old ships from legend. A classic pirate map from Disneyland designed by Xavier Atecio, whom served as the voice of the pirate at the start of the ride, as well as the script writer and lyricist for the Pirates and Haunted Mansion attractions was featured in the guest room. Character designs from Marc Davis were also featured in the rooms.
Just like the other rooms in the Dream Suite the bathrooms all tell a story. Take the shower that looks like a bricked archway that could be found in New Orleans.
Each room in the Dream Suite, with the exception of the Mickey Mouse Penthouse, had a view of the newly refurbished courtyard complete with view of Trader Sam's, Tangaroa Terrace, the pool area and water slide.
I consider Adventureland the best of the Dream Suites but visiting each room was a treat in and of itself. I hope that my Disney friends get a chance to spend some time in the park and hopefully even spend time in these rooms.
