News New Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

[castlecake2.0]

Tortuga has tonnes of seating and underused space, they could probably still keep walk up windows while also adding a lounge

I wonder about the booze in the park expanding beyond sit down restraunts.

Pirates lounge? Rumored Haunted Mansion restaurant? Seems like a a return to classic form and fan service. IP-free restaurants and embracing classic attractions, huge wins, even if the projects are small, they extrapolate towards a broader attitude that makes me optimistic.

They're both IPs these days, but this feels like a win, helps that it seems to be based more on the ride than the movies.

I would imagine this is the start of that.

I don’t see why it matters as the other 3 parks have booze everywhere.

I welcome the “booze-ification ” of MK

I have a feeling if this one happens, it's just going to be a retheme of Tortuga Tavern.

Barker Bird is back!

I doubt this good idea will be well-executed, given the state of Imagineering these days. But it IS a good idea. Ideally, the tavern will have live actors from time to time who portray pirates like Jack Sparrow and Redd. If the food is good (another big IF), then this place might be worth visiting.

I think I've ordered maybe 1 drink maybe ever at a theme park. Freedom of choice is a good thing, even if it's overpriced and watered down.

I will never understand why people care so much what other people do.

It’s not always watered down. Some of those premade cocktails may be, but Disney has a plethora of full bars with free poured cocktails and bartenders with heavy hands.

Fairly confident this is going into Pirates League.

Such a small venue isn’t it? Do you have pictures from when it was open?

It was actually multiple rooms. More space than you might think.

Something similar to the Indiana Jones pop up Den of Destiny with a lounge area that you cant take alcohol out of?

I'll happily have a drink in the new lounge!

I guess any closed venue reopening as something is a good thing. MK has so many closed food and merch venues that could add capacity and interest to the park that remain shuttered.

Aunt Polly's I'm looking at you.

I don’t get why they don’t open Aunt Polly’s more frequently. It would bring some people out to TSI as well

Yeah me neither. Also why Tomorrowland Terrace is never usually open when I'm there is beyond me.

Exactly, this is what Disney should be doing.

Finding creative ways to repurpose unused spaces that support the surrounding area's theme.
