"El Pirata Y el Perico Restaurante" name changed to "Tortuga Tavern"

[Magenta Panther]

Maybe the Tavern could come up with its own not-alcoholic-but-sounds-like-it type beverage. Maybe something pirate-y like LemonAle, or BlackBeer, or something like that...

Why is everyone so determined to leave the alcohol out?
There's something called a liquor license. Disney has them.

...because the Magic Kingdom is a dry park (no alcohol). Part of the tradition of the family friendly environment.

 

[JustInTime]

I am glad it has no Alcohol, actually.

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

Shhh.. Disney may add a turtle... Crush....

I'll answer your question with a question. Why is everyone so determined to shoehorn alcohol (or an alcohol substitute) in to a park that has never served it?

Don't get hung up on the word "tavern". Dry taverns in the MK are nothing new!

 

[Bairstow]

Because "Stitch's Great Escape!" is a hell of a thing to go through sober.

Perhaps if it sold alcohol it could get away with having next to no functioning attractions, just like World Showcase.

Adventureland or the Magic Kingdom?

Some kook in Tomorrowland told me rootbeer is the same thing as beer, just with a different name.

So just go with rootbeer.

Lots of things become "attractions" when alcohol is involved...:lookaroun

Yeah, a swig of something would definitely help one enjoy Expedition Everest.

"Dude, I saw it move..."
:drevil:

 

[juniorthomas]

Great rebranding. I never did like the original name...

 

[scotth1224]

I for one think that this is an awesome step in the right direction for Adventureland. Lets just hope they expand the menu a tad!

Character meet and greets too, possibly...

Bumping this a bit to say that they apparently changed the sign for the tavern. Orignally they had just put a placard over the old El Pirata Y Perico logo, but now there is a whole new sign. Got this from the Orlando Theme Park News facebook.
