I wonder if that is partly due to getting rid of the idea of auctioning off women

Does this mean no more auction? I know some have been questioning how much longer that scene would last.

That is exactly what they are doing - they are replacing the women auctioning scene with a slightly more politically correct version!!

This is a sad day. Disneyland's pirates was something Walt was heavily involved in and taking out a key scene is just sad IMO.

IMO people need to stop worrying so much about political correctedness. This is technically something that happened in history. Trying to cover it up isn't good.

Normalizing the idea of people (specifically women) as property is more sad IMO. It didn't just happen, it's currently happening. And playing it off as entertainment is far more damaging than changing the scene is.

Obviously I'm glad to see this scene finally go

I feel like they have done subtle changes like this in the past but it is quite the change if they completely adjust the scene.

Looking at the concept art, they will be completely changing the scene.

I get it. Personally I think the scene goes over most people's heads.

I assume it also means the end of the classic line "We Wants The Red Head!"

Which is what they are doing. I can understand trying to change the narrative but I'm just not a fan of changing it completely.

Which is a problem in and of itself.
The fact that someone can look at what is very obviously a slave auction and not know what it is says nothing positive.

History repeats itself and if we don't learn from it it definitely will repeat itself. I definitely am not for auctioning slaves or women but to me the scene could be altered not completely changed.

So, no more "We wants the red head!?!?" That scene is so iconic. I would be sad to see it go since this was the last attraction Walt really worked on.

It is very clear what it is - it's also clear that those are bad people doing it and what they are doing is bad .... though, I guess this is less of a clear delineation the more they add in "good pirates" like Jack Sparrow into the ride

I certainly get why they are changing it - but I also think it is ok to feel sad that something Walt had a direct hand in is going away

They added "for President" after, or at least "for Captain".

Yep. To me it's not as big of a deal in WDW but changing it completely in Disneyland is a bit different.

I agree. I was thinking of typing in my message that I would be ok if they changed it at WDW. The Disneyland version has already been altered more than it had to be (Jack Sparrow and a mist screen that makes no sense).
