So I take it the lounge is going to go into the old Pirates League space then rather than Tortuga? Do you think Tortuga will remain a gift shop, or will the space be used for something else? Maybe a return of El Pirate y El Perico?

Tortuga will return to a semi-seasonal QSR location after the they’re done with the work at Pirates.

So they're getting rid of the gift shop at the Pirates exit?

 

[Bocabear]

Heavens No! they are adding a lounge...Probably need to shift the inventory temporarily for the build out would be my guess.... I am sure that gift shop does a whopping business....

I take back most of my previous outrage now that I see what the bigger picture was.

Adding a lounge in what was previously the gift shop, right?

No it's probably going into the old Pirates League area.

 

[Bocabear]

It was originally the Pirates Arcade.... then part time gifts and then Pirates League years later....

It's definitely still going ahead, first acknowledgement in since last September by Disney themselves?

So is there anything to glean from them keeping the SotMK portal on the tower after the refurb? Or is it just cheaper to leave it?
