Disney’s Lost Fantasyland Character

Описание: Probably for the best that Paco isn’t in the picture anymore 😂

In case you’re wondering, Captain Guy did in fact, have a real prosthetic leg as he was a Korean W. vet. The Honorary Skipper cards he signed and handed out had suggestions of pirate names on the back, like “Thumbs” and “Giggles.” Crew members of the pirate ship were instructed to keep the decks clean and mopped of any spilled food so that Captain Guy didn’t slip and fall, which apparently happened often 😬

The pirate ship restaurant was built so quickly because of the late contract with Vancamp seafood in the construction process of Disneyland. On the opening day broadcast called Dateline: Disneyland, the ship was far from completed, missing all of its rigging and left completely unpainted on one side. They only finished one side of the boat for the broadcast, so the sponsor wouldn’t be angry, but the ship itself wasn’t completed for another six weeks after that.

Captain Guy was retired as a character in 1962, and in 1980, they had made plans to move the pirate ship to the end of storybook land Canal boats as a grand finale for the attraction. The thought was that ride, began with a full-size figure and should end with a full-size scene as well. But when they went to lifted, they realized there was too much termite damage, and so they demolished the ship instead.
