Overview
- The Dec. 7 malfunction at Disneyland's original 1967 Pirates of the Caribbean left most audio-animatronics motionless during ride-throughs.
- Guest videos on Reddit, including a clip by u/Illustrious-Bar4100, showed nearly all figures frozen while the key-holding dog and some cannon smoke effects continued.
- Witnesses said cast members stopped loading new guests once the issue was identified.
- Visitors described concurrent ride stoppages at Disney California Adventure and reports of an Anaheim power issue, though the cause remains unconfirmed.
- By publication the attraction had been reset and was operating normally, and Disneyland issued no statement on the cause or downtime.
