I have heard this over and over by several people and I would like to know if this rumor is true? Is there a Pirate in this attraction that looks like Walt Disney? I've heard that the Partners Statue of him was copied from a mask Walt made for this attraction. Does anyone have any info? This has been bugging me forever thanks!!!

I can't answer that question. There are so many trivia people on this board whom I sure will. But, I can tell you that there is a pirate that was specifically made to look like the famous comedian Sid Cesear. He was a long time friend of Walt's.
He is in the jail...he is one of the pirates trying to get the key from the dog.:)

Nope. Walt's not there or in The Haunted Mansion or any other ride in the park.

now that you mention it.... it seems like a good idea and a bad idea at the same time.... it would be the hidden mickey to end all others....but Walt's not very pirate like.

This may or may not be true as even CM's make stuff up.

But, when I went on the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour. Our guide said that yes, Walt did have a face mask done for the Pirates with a little changes to make it pirate like.

She said it is one of the men who is being chased by the Fat Lady, but would not say which one.

I have looked carefully after that and really can't tell for sure.
If it's true, I vote for the guy with the beard.

Let see, most of the rumors say that it is one of the men that were in line to be dunked (which I seriously doubt), but since I don't have any sources for the pirates that were removed I can't give a 100% sure no answer.

Uh, isn't there only one man being chased by the fat lady?

No they added another one in a little while after the PC Nazis made them change it.
