Depp was also seen waving hello to Disneyland attendees from a balcony outside the ride.

The surprise appearance comes a month before Depp will be seen as Jack Sparrow once again in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales which opens in theaters on May 26.

"The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Capt. Jack feeling the winds of ill fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Capt. Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea -- notably Jack," reads the synopsis.
