I can't wait to see it, either.
We went last year, when dd was 4.5 years and ds was 19 months. POTC was ds' favorite ride!! He rode that ride more than any of us, taking one parent or the whole family whenever he could!
He still loves Pirates, and when we began to plan a trip this year, we originally thought we would go in May. But when dh heard that POTC was closed at that time, he said, "No way!" We will be going at the end of July/beginning of August, just so we can see the new POTC. They won't be taking things away from it, they will be adding to it.
Now, do you remember when they added food? Because the Pirates were chasing the women, and they wanted to make it more P.C., so they had the women carry around plates of food, so it looks like the Pirates want the food the women are carrying. That didn't take anything from the ride. This will not, either. It will be totally fun.
