'Pirates' Invade Disneyland

Johnny Depp: Click to WatchThe premiere of the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" hit the Magic Kingdom this year with an arrival line that stretched from the entrance of the park to the newly renovated ride which inspired the film.

Of course, this would be no celebration without Captain Jack Sparrow and he didn't disappoint. Johnny Depp, who came solo to the premiere, was amazed by the number of young fans who lined the arrival line, "It's always kind of overwhelming but it's also nice to meet these people. They came out to support us. It's very touching."



Orlando Bloom showed his love for the fans too, "It means a lot. You can't make movies like this without fans like that. When it's a huge movie you just hope they love it and go see it"

And while getting the stars to gush about the fans was an easy task, none of them were going to let any info slip about the third installment to the series just yet.

"No I'm not giving you any snippets of Pirates 3 and you have to see Pirates 2 before you get any of that," noted Keira Knightley. "And best part? Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. Marvelous."

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" opens in theaters July 7th.

2. I loved the first Pirates of the Carribbean and can not wait to see the second and even the third. I really liked Johnny Depp as "Jack Sparrow" and his costume and makeup are great. I liked everything about the movie and the cast were excellent in my book.

3. Johnny Depp is awesome as Captain Jack - who else could take a character from a theme park ride and give him life??? Pirates has to be one of the best fun movies ever.

7. Radio stations gave away tickets to the event. KROQ had a bunch of them for like 2 weeks. Not sure if you could just walk up and get in though.

8. Johnny Depp is a genius. He and Tom Hanks are the best and most diverse actors of our time.

11. Do you know if Johnny Depp was at Disneyland on the 26th of June, the first day the Pirates ride was open? We were there that day but the line was all the way out to Main Street. Thanks.

13. I AM SO EXCITED!!! Johnny Depp has to be one of the best actors ever. I don't think there's a part that he hasn't played and played well. Even movies in his earlier career and same time genre (Edward Scissorhands, What's Eating Gilbert Grape) are completely different roles and yet still he pulls off a believable, excelltent job. no one else could have been Captin Jack Sparrow. Who else could do that adorable little smile atthe end of the first Pirates movie when he's about to be HANGED but looks fondly back on the time he impersonated a clergyman. Haha. He rocks!!!

I have been a huge fan of Johnny Depp for as long as I can remember.He is the most incredibly talented character actor of all time.None the less his is the sexiest man on earth(highly ranked with my husband)I've followed his career since 21 Jump Street and Cry Baby and will always continue to have an interest in his career choices.Thanks Johnny...

15. Oh my gosh, Johnny Depp is like so amazing. Keira Knightley is like the lucky girl in the world she got to makeout with Johnny Depp. See I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 at midnight showing, and I have been dreaming of him like ever since. Johnny Depp is like so sexy! I know I would never ever get to meet him, but I can still dream,can't I. THANK!
