Pirates of the Caribbean is a gentle ride, but be aware that you may be bumped from behind by another boat if you stop (this often happens near the end of the ride). If you have back problems you might want to keep that in mind and be alert.
 
Pirates of the Caribbean usually has shorter lines than the other major attractions at the Magic Kingdom. You'll often find that there's little more than a wait of 10 minutes or so to board. Even if the wait is longer, the majority of the queue line winds through an old fortress. There's lots to see (and it's nicely air conditioned!), so the wait isn't usually so bad.
 
If you'd like to sit up front, just ask! The Cast Members will usually be happy to honor your request.
 
There's plenty to see from both sides of the boat, so it really doesn't matter which side you sit on. If you ride more than once however, try to sit on both sides so you can get great views of everything.
 
If you're riding with small children you should try to let them sit on the ends of the benches so they can see everything (but don't be surprised if your little ones want to sit right in the middle where it's not quite so scary!).
 
When you enter the attraction building, there will often be multiple turnstiles open. If most people are going through one of them, don't be afraid to use the other one. If a lot of people entered the busier turnstile you may be able to bypass a good part of the line.
 
If you're touring with souvenir hunters (and younger children!), be forewarned that the exit of the ride puts you right in the heart of a large, pirate-themed souvenir shop. It's hard to resist the treasure chests of pretend jewels and the play swords and guns. If you think that might be a problem you should lay down some ground rules about what (if anything) you'll buy and how long you'll stay before riding.
 
Young swashbucklers can pit their sword fighting skills against Jack Sparrow himself! Throughout the day, Jack Sparrow and his bungling assistant appear outside the Pirates of the Caribbean entrance to select young pirates to participate in the show (it helps to be VERY enthusiastic!!). You will learn some basic sword moves in preparation for your showdown with Jack Sparrow (it's all very carefully choreographed so don't fret). After showing him your skills, you'll distract him with a shout of "Look, the governor's daughter!", giving you the chance to flee. Young pirates will receive a special certificate and a memory they'll never forget! (Wannabee Jedi Masters can also clash light sabers with Darth Vader in a similar show at Star Tours over at the Disney-MGM Studios!).
