💡 Did you know? Walt Disney’s original vision for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was a wax museum! 🏴☠️🕯️
After the success of It’s a Small World as a boat ride, he and his Imagineers were inspired to pivot, bringing the pirates to life in a way no one had seen before. That bold change turned a static idea into the immersive iconic ride we love today, proving the power of embracing innovation and flexible thinking.
Thinking boldly and taking calculated risks can take us to heights we have never reached before!
