Pirates of the Caribbean , the Disney Parks ride that later became Johnny Depp ’s regular paycheck , is lastly getting free of the intensely creepy-crawly moment that is the Wench Auction , and the only real issuance is why it did n’t bump sooner .
Kathy Mangum , a Walt Disney Imagineering administrator , announcedthat the Pirates of the Caribbean rides at Disneyland , Magic Kingdom , and Disneyland Paris will update the Mercado auction shot to no longer be a parade of bond - up cleaning woman being sold off to pirates as “ wives , ” although we know that ’s basically sexual slavery . A Disney Parks rep confirmed to us that the auction fit is being changed , as describe , but wo n’t go away entirely .
According to the post , it will instead be an auction bridge of valuables that were steal from the townspeople , serving a similar aim but removing the frightening element . The planetary house will read “ Surrender Your Loot ” rather than “ Take a Wench for a Bride , ” and both humans and woman will be lining up to turn over their goods . They ’re even keeping the famous nameless Redhead , only she ’ll be an awesome pirate bidding on the auction . And she puzzle a gun .
The 50 - twelvemonth - onetime Disney drive has gone through several renovations over the class , and the process has been weird and uneven . It set out in the nineties by changing the scene where pirates are chase female victim around . Now , some of the fair sex are maintain food for thought , and others have been reversed so the human are being chase . This was a overbold update , designed to make the drive less insulting to women , though it ’s eldritch that they recognise that that require to be changed but not the Wench Auction .
There are already Disney purists denouncing the update , along with those who do n’t care any change they consider “ politically correct , ” but candidly I do n’t manage . The drive is n’t an historically accurate representation of the 1600s , it ’s a romanticized protection to “ A Pirate ’s life-time , ” which include ghosts , shanties , and ( now ) Captain Jack Sparrow . It ’s say to be fun , and the Wench Auction need away from that . Now , the drive can be as entertaining as it was always meant to be .
Disneyland Paris ’ plagiariser of the Caribbean drive reopens July 24 with the fresh auction scene , and the plan is to update the other two sometime in 2018 .
