Casydee Alvarado, Staff Writer

Wednesday night riders were shocked when they got a surprise from Johnny Depp. Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean riders got to see Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp was fully dressed in costume and greeted the riders. At first people thought it was the animatronic of Captain Jack Sparrow that was in the ride but were thrilled to have the actual Jack Sparrow. His surprise appearance came with a performance. He stayed in character while swinging his sword around and talking to his fans. Some fans got to record his appearance and some even got to interact with him. Not only did riders get to greet him but also Disney park goers waiting in line for the ride. Depp abandoned ship to entertain them. All of this happened just before the new installment of Pirates of Caribbean. The new movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men tell no tales is coming to theaters May 26.
