News New Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

[Captain Barbossa]

$2.50 for a bottle of water

Those were the days...

And under $3 for a fountain beverage.

Water is $3.50 now, not a terrible increase for 10 years

$5 at Six Flags!

And Disney makes it very easy to get free ice water.

$6 at universal for their "premium"(only) water

 

[Ice Gator]

According to ITM they are demolishing Pirates.

So THAT'S where they're putting the Moana boat ride! I always found the Pirates to be way too problematic these days anyways.

You can still get a cup if you ask

Ah, but now they have this swift K to the D! Let's hope Disney doesn't think this is a good idea..

Me too, but that's a result of other people thinking that in the past.

SeaWorld has it at 5%. They don’t raise the prices outright, but they tack on 5% for their increased costs.

$3.75, but I agree, it's actually a lot less than I expected. The fountain drinks are the things people should really be upset with. Again, not that it's a Disney specific problem, but that has almost doubled.

the story thus far:

I know there has been chatter, but two of my contacts today have both confirmed they have heard nothing about this project being cancelled and is still on.

Was it rumored to be canceled?

There has been some chatter in other threads and Twitter so I figured I’d squash it.

Interesting permit today. Contractor is Whiting Turner Contracting Company, one of the big contractors and the expiration is 8/31/2025. Might be for this project.

4873 CARIBBEAN WY # B(CARIBBEAN PLAZA) - General Construction

Looks like tortuga tavern has permanently closed leaving adventureland with no quick service option for hot food

When was it last open?

Interesting Tortuga closed. I wouldn’t think it’s related to this unless they have expanded the idea to be a full service restaurant.

There will be food, too. The question is: how extensive of a menu?

I hope they do better than Skipper Canteen. This should be themed to the nines.

Earlier plans had Tortuga opening to replace Pecos as it went down for the Tiana's conversion. While rumblings elsewhere still say something is happening to Pecos, it looks like they might be trying to get the pirate bar open first.

Not becoming Tiana's, but still getting some work apparently. The more ambitious conversion was shelved, unfortunately. It looked good.

A Buena Vista Construction permit for the Caribbean Plaza...

4873 CARIBBEAN WY # B(CARIBBEAN PLAZA) - Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction

Haven't seen any permits for Tortuga but there was an electrical permit for Pecos Bill's this week.

Here’s a look at Tortuga Tavern from today. The windows to the food service area are completely blocked out from the inside.

My source just confirmed Tortuga will be the home of the new pirates bar at Magic Kingdom. It will operate similarly to Oga’s business model.

No, it’s going in the former restaurant space. I was surprised to hear!!!

The Pirates bar/lounge is going in the old Tortuga location.

Yep. Should be pretty cool, honestly. Some snacky foods, too. It’s gotten a glow-up from the original proposal.

Reservations only and 45 minutes max at a time?

Correct!

Any chance counter service windows return to offer some kind of QSR here?

They keep going on about adding capacity while consistently taking it away

Is it confirmed that this lounge will serve alcoholic beverages? Really hope it's not mirroring the "standing room only" aspect of Oga's.

I would not expect to see QSR windows.

I was told there will not be takeaway food or drinks.

So Pirates League is going to continue to sit empty?

It will be alcoholic. I wasn’t told specifics on seating but should be both seating and standing room. This footprint is bigger than Oga’s.

So the question is, what is the permit for the Caribbean Coutyard for? Unless the address was a mistake and it's actually for Tortuga. They both have the same address but Tortuga is #A.

Yes! The footprint is much larger. Should have some good options, too.

The story thus far:

I think I got caught up in that flurry like a crab getting caught in a fishing net.

EDIT: And now I'm gone, which makes this message look weird.

Construction wall have gone up in the Pirates gift shop, this would tie in with the permit I saw for Caribbean Plaza.

Question, to any insiders who know..

If they are putting the Pirates lounge in area next to ride in shop area....
Is there a chance Tortuga will get changed to Tiana's instead of Pecos Bill rumor?

Has there been any discussion of this?

thanks

Tiana’s across from Pirates of the Caribbean? No.

 

[tanc]

I'm excited for this lounge, I just wonder how much movie IP will be put into it. Would be nice to see them create more on the original IP and not the movie.

The prevailing rumor at the moment is the Pirates Bar will be going in Tortuga Tavern

 

[Sneakman]

Hmm I wonder what the name of this fine drinking establishment will be

[wedenterprises]

DSNY Newscast brought up an interesting point that this could essentially be Olga's 2.0 and replace Tortuga. Any truth to the idea?
