Beginning May 22 with the release of the video game, Disney park guests who
bring their Nintendo DS and a copy of the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's
End DS video game with them during their visit can download new video game
content at specific "X-marks-the-spot" hotspots hidden near the Pirates of the
Caribbean attractions. This download unlocks new content such as unlimited
health and "savvy," as well as fun extras, including additional costumes. This
special content is only available to Disney park visitors and can be accessed
with a Nintendo DS.
"The Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Nintendo DS Download Program once
again marks a milestone for Disney's unmatched ability to synergize the best of
its business," said Graham Hopper, executive vice president and general
manager, Disney Interactive Studios. "This first-ever technology partnership
between Disney Interactive Studios and Disney Parks blends our shared focus on
innovation and creativity, offering a truly memorable and magical experience
for families."
"We are committed about giving our Disney park visitors an innovative, relevant
and rewarding experience every time they visit," said Michael Mendenhall,
executive vice president of global marketing for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
"As we look for new ways to enhance our guests' visits, the Nintendo DS is a
perfect fit for our program since it is popular and easy to bring to the Disney
park."
The Nintendo DS Download Program for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
is available free of charge to any park guest carrying a Nintendo DS system
that contains a copy of the video game. For Nintendo DS owners without a copy
of the new video game, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will be
available for purchase in stores at both parks. The program will begin on May
22 and is scheduled to run through Labor Day.
