A fun surprise that’s not listed on the map for the 2026 D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is a Disney fan’s impressive mission to recreate Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction… made completely out of LEGO bricks. The impressive undertaking by Master Qwogy is a true feat with actual water and floating LEGO bateaux traversing the familiar route of the entire attraction.

Here’s a look at what we got to see during 2026 D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event (formerly D23 Expo) taking place from August 14 – 16, 2026.

What to Expect

The D23 fan-designed and constructed LEGO version of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland. Since its inception in 2023, this project has been continuously growing, undergoing refinements, and preparing to embark on its maiden voyage in Anaheim.

  • Over 100,000 individual pieces have been meticulously assembled to bring this attraction to life.
  • The design incorporates more than 1,000 NeoPixel LED lights, enhancing the visual experience and creating an immersive atmosphere for fans.
  • The audio track uses 90 individual files and emulates ride through experiences from 1967 (the opening year of the attraction at Disneyland), 1998, and 2006.
