Disney Parks has been in the process of developing this "Treasures of the Seven Seas" for quite a while now. It's good to see that they are finally done with the (test) stages of it.

Until one of the little tykes falls into a hole in the map or uses an SVS glitch while on the Small World ride!

It is good to see that Big D is still keeping Pirates up in the real world. Now hopefully they will update the online version to keep spirits up!
