Disney World Mgm Studios Backlot Tour Prop Candlestick Pirates Price Drop
This is an interesting piece. It’s a piece from the old MGM Studios Backlot tour, closed in 2014. If you remember that attraction and you can do a search, there were props from other Disney Parks as well as movies on the attraction. This is an old style brass candlestick and candle. The candle is not real it looks like it might have lit up at one time but it does not now. Wouldn’t be surprised if it did light up before, but often times things are decommissioned after they leave the attraction. So this would have been decommissioned after it was used on Pirates and put into storage. It simply says pirates on the tag, so I’m not sure if this was supposed to be from Pirates of the Caribbean ride, or Pirates of the Caribbean the movie. Or some other Pirates movie that was in the Disney catalog. Though the tag appears old, I doubt this was an actual prop tag. I think it’s was made and done for the attraction. I do not believe that the Backlot attraction had an actual prop storage facility. It was really just for show. However, even though it was just for show and it wasn’t an actual prop storage facility these things were actually props from movies and the attractions. They had a section of Epcot props and props from other parts of Walt Disney World so it certainly makes sense that this would have come from Pirates of the caribbean. The prop measures about inches 14 1/2 tall in total. The Candlestick part is brass and the candle part is made of something else I do not know what that is made of.
