News New Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

[MisterPenguin]

Will they serve alcohol in this lounge in MK

Yes. Very much like Oga's.

Mostly standing room. Drink and a bar snack. 45 minute lounging time limit. Can't carry out booze. No window service. Reservations needed.

MK already serves alcohol at sit-down table-service restaurants.

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

There's no need to make this huge. I'd expect something similar in Villains land.

At first for sure. Now Oga’s is possible the easiest reservation to get on property. There’s multiple options for every hour of its operating day today available currently.

The odd thing is that it’s easy to get reservations but they feel the need to cram parties together on the same tables/booths. When we were there last trip they put three parties at our table.

How many were in each party?

How many were in each party?

IIRC my party was 4, another 4 and then a party of 2 was added. It went from reasonably okay to kinda being on top of each other when the third party was added.

Disney is so weird sometimes- I went to Trader Sam’s at Polynesian - asked if they had room for 1…. And they let me stand at the bar. There were tables available but not for a party of 1…. I still had a fun time cause it’s Trader Sams but cmon haha.

The size of Trader Sam's was a huge mistake... They could have done something larger and broken itnto different rooms like the old Adventurer's club... likewise the outdoor overflow patio shoud have been beautifully designed and themed like the interior...which would have made it a lot more pleasant. They KNEW this was going to be a hit. This was not a surprise... The one in CA is equally mobbed so there was a track record to follow. This lounge should be larger and they should limit admittance to 21 and older...

If Disney was smart they would make this a multi story bar like you see in Nashville.

Alcohol is a great way to spur profit based off margins alone.

This should easily be a 4 story bar with an elevator and balconies with live music.

 

[Bocabear]

a second story could be nice, but then they need elevators etc... I am curious to how they will handle the crowds with an intimate space in a park with very high demand...

It's going to be a poop show from the very beginning.
