Pirates used to be my favorite ride until they "repaired" it into political correctness (and then they came out with a pirate movie that emulated the old ride... go figure). Now instead of chasing women to chase women, the pirates are chasing women because they're carrying big plates of food. Also, there used to be a pirate holding a pair of underpants with a woman hiding in a barrel behind him, but now the pirate's holding a chicken leg or something and there's a dog in the barrel. Pfft.
I still enjoy Pirates, but now my favorite is Haunted Mansion. It's the only ride I've ever been able to see a hidden Mickey on (not counting the Mickey hat on one of the Indiana Jones skeletons).
Something fun to do if they're doing Fantasmic while you're there is get to the park an hour or more early and get tickets (at a special events ticket booth) to the Fantasmic dessert balcony... the balcony of the art gallery (above Pirates) is opened during Fantasmic for a very limited seating (30 people maybe) all you can eat dessert and mint julep cafe-type area for $50 per person (but worth every penny for a chance to watch from the balcony, avoid the crowds, and take a relaxing break). Another splurge I suggest is the Blue Bayou Restaurant, which is the restaurant inside Pirates.
I also suggest visiting snopes.com for Disneyland urban legends (some true), hidden Mickeys, and odd trivia before you go.
