The new counter service tacos at Cantina in Epcot are mighty, mighty tasty. Especially when you squeeze the lime ontop.
If had Mexican food in Mexico so I know what you mean.

While there was a pirate with a smoking beard in the first movie, he did not wear a captain's hat and clothing. Blackbeard was well-known for making his beard smoke before combat to intimidate his opponents. Everything about the new mural, from the look of the hat to the wrinkle at the bridge of the pirate's nose, indicates that it's Ian McShane as Blackbeard.

Wow... great detective work! It must be awfully nice not to have to repaint that mural...
It's supposed to be open daily form 11 till 4pm. DId you catch it outside these hours?

Count me among those who like the change. Anything that keeps the restaurant open is worth it in my book, and if Disney thinks that tying it into the Pirates movies are a way to do it, then I'm all for it. Not to mention that Tortuga's Tavern is infinitely easier to say/remember than "La Pirata y el Perico." :lol: I'm a Spanish minor and I still found that restaurant's name hard to say...

I did some detective work on the mural changes:
Before:
After:
:ROFLOL: I did the same detective work. It looks like all they did was paint Blackbeard's face and hat over the old pirate's face and hat. His clothing and the rest of the mural look exactly the same.

Maybe they will start selling "ButterRum" at the re-named tavern to compete with Harry's butterbeer over at US. Maybe not so bad, and you can spike it with the contents of a previous posters flask!

I think they should, actually! Sell it at Liberty Tree Tavern, Gaston's Tavern and Tortuga Tavern. I think it would be a massive hit.

The reason people are lining up to buy Butterbeer is that they have read about it for over a decade and wondered what it would be like to taste it.
The reaction to something made up to cash in like "Butterrum" would be more like
:shrug:.I'm sure if it was tasty, it would catch on. But it doesn't have that built-in appeal that Butterbeer does.

Bingo. There really is no made up drink that Disney is going to create to compete with Butterbeer. The appeal of it isn't the taste, it's the fact that you now get to enjoy someone that was confined to books not too long ago.

I completely understand the appeal to butterbeer. I assure you I may be the biggest Potter fan on these boards. I just feel like the endless "dry" Taverns in the MK need some sort of gimmick. I mean, who knows if something like this would ever happen but it could be cool!
