Was randomly daydreaming about WDW this morning. And it dawned on me that the idea of the reviving an old name in Adventureland for the new Pirates bar.
Call the new Pirates Bar - El Pirata y el Perico.

It’s a cool Disney Deep Cut for fans and call back to the early years of WDW. This is the original name of the Tortuga Tavern (for those who did not know). The name changed about 10-12 years back. Its Spanish and when translated it means "The Pirate and the Parrot." With the bar having a pirate theme and the Barker Parrot from the old PotC entry coming back to the bar when it opens, this could be a clever name for the location.

Is this where the lounge is going
same question, will say while I usually don't care this is the one ride where having a gift shop at the exit really sucks because of the crowd flow with first timers not knowing where to exit and kids running around hitting swords. Really hoping the gift shop stays across the street and the bar goes here.

Phenomenal. I love it. Any and all OG Magic Kingdom references are welcome.

Realistically I don’t know how this will work…

So I don’t know what the daily attendance is for magic kingdom, but I’m assuming it’s easily in tens of thousands.

The bar/lounge will have how many seating spots?

I just don’t understand how the capacity will meet with the demand?

Every mom and dad (assuming they are purposely leading a sober life) will want a drink to take a break from the chaos… but how does the capacity meet that demand ?

Here's a peek at work in the Pirates exit area/gift shop:


a) seems kinda small given the huge crowds they should expect
b) they're using wood framing in tropically humid, termite-infested Florida
c) construction ladder brought a couple of friends so you can tell they're serious about this
