Pirates of the Caribbean: Yo ho ho, me hearties, but did the real pirates of the Caribbean act like those in Adventureland? Crystal Palace: The first two Crystal Palaces burned to the ground; how much is Disney's popular restaurant their carbon copy? Tomorrowland: Disney's original plan to faithfully represent the future fell apart when the future didn't cooperate. Find out where the Imagineers got THEIR ideas!
