This seems like a no-brainer to me. Disney should eb able to make a couple bucks off Pirates 4. It would be nice if they spruced it up a little to tie into the movies beyond the name change. Get some of that high quality Pirate League theming in there.

Tortuga Tavern rolls off the tongue easier. I really hope it's open more often if not all the time now. I've never eaten there.

Too bad they won't sell rum!

I believe that they added some elements to the area to tie a pirate theme in better.

They've changed the mural next to the toppings bar to Ian McShane as Blackbeard, so perhaps more tie-in theming is in the works.

Magic Kingdom is going to be overrun with "taverns" for a dry park...

A shame, really. I would love to see one of these things filled to the brim with room-temperature Appleton Estate and slid over the counter to curious tourists.

Heh.

Agreed.

Agreed. Or as we say in pirate...aaargh. Right ye be.

 

[Disney05]

Wonder if we be getting some feisty bar maids?

 

[sublimesting]

Too bad they won't sell rum!

From what I recall from the first several Pirates documentaries, the rum is apparently....gone.....always......

Dislike. Tortuga Taven, along with Gaston's Tavern and Mos Eisley Cantina, should definitely exist, but should exist alongside one another as true bars in a revamped Pleasure Island.

But alas, I dream.

But Mos Eisley is a wretched hive of scum and villainy! Plus, they don't allow droids.

Since this is now "Tortuga Tavern", shouldn't the pirate on the sign have a turtle on his shoulder instead of a parrot?

 

[JEANYLASER]

thanks!

No, no, if it's gonna involve turtles, it should be a pirate riding on two sea turtles strapped together with rope made from the pirate's back hair. "Sea turtles, mate."

Love the name change!

Tortuga seems more appropriate for a pirate theme to me. We went by the
tavern last Wednesday but decided not to eat there. Actually, we have never
had a meal there in all of our many visits. But next time we will stop in.
We are waiting for Pirates 4 movie-love Captain Jack and his crew. :wave:

Could this third MK "Tavren" be part of a plan by the "Bean Counters" to add alcohol in the future? :lookaroun
