Disneyland is removing a scene of brides being auctioned off from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and replacing it with a female pirate selling loot

UK Daily Mail  "Disneyland will be removing a scene of captive women being auctioned off as brides from its Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

"The ride will be closing on April 23 so the Anaheim theme park can remove the infamous scene, reported the Orange County Register.

"When the ride reopens around June 7, a new animatronic scene instead will feature a female pirate auctioning off loot. 

"Since 1967, guests have ridden on one of the ride's small boats through several pirate-themed scenes before coming upon the bride auction.



. . . Above them is a sign that reads: 'Auction: Take a Wench for a Bride' and a rope-tied, redheaded woman, in a pink dress and matching hat, is up for bid when patrons arrive.
'Hey, are you selling her by the pound?' a pirate is heard yelling, while an auctioneer commands: 'Shift yer cargo, dearie, show 'em your larboard side.' " . . .
