News New Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

[Andrew25]

It could be done well....and even modeled off the original Dole Whip kiosk at Disneyland... I think our current entry to Adventuraland is pretty lackluster...a bidge with some masks on it... not as interesting as Disneyland's version for sure.

Great idea - I'm just not a fan of the ODV carts that have found permanent homes throughout the parks now. I can understand the need of moving/staging in ODV carts for higher attended days, but there are quite a few throughout the parks that have been there for years now. Would not only look nicer, but provide CMs a better environment with more shade if done properly.

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

As a follow up, the tavern apparently has a new name, Tortuga Treasures, and offers merchandise now.

I’ve seen some weird things in my days here, and this is definitely up there. Wonder what the reasoning is here.

a part of me thinks this is tacky, another part thinks well least its being used,,I dont know. They are just throwing things left and right anymore.

Just a guess, but maybe they’re gonna have to temporarily close the gift shop over at Pirates, with exception of the ride exit of course, to allow work on the lounge?

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I wonder if it could be more permanent (maybe expanding the footprint into that area?).

I think a lot of the seating area there was originally shops, there was an article on passport to dreams about it. The shop being reduced temporarily for construction makes sense for this move.

Good guess!

So does this lock tortuga tavern to a non-food area, and lock in the fact that the new Pirates Tavern is going into the old shop area of the Pirates ride?

My assumption is that this is just temporary as they re-configure things to put the tavern into the Pirates League space.

 

[jmuboy]

From everything I’ve gathered this is temporary as work happens across the street.

i thought it was going in torture tavern? Has it been downsized in scale?

Can I get fries with my plastic cutlass?

That would be my guess. I could also see them taking up more of the space of the shop than the Pirates League originally occupied.

I don't think it was ever going in there, people just assumed because they shut it down.

And some of that signature Disney plastic cheese. You can dip your plastic cutlass in it and lick it off while looking very sinister.

Forgotten Shops of Adventureland is the name of the article. The north building of Caribbean Plaza used to be the quick serve and two shops. This became expanded seating for Pecos Bill and just the quick serve in 1998.

@marni1971 's video on Florida's Pirates has a bit of animation showing this starting at 11:19
