This button was released to Cast Members at WDW in 1972 to let guests know that they (WDW) would in fact be getting their own Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The ride was not originally planned for the park but after many guest complaints management thought it a good idea to get their own Pirates ride.
Similar to Button #43206, but this button is yellow.
