News New Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

[Animaniac93-98]

I'm waiting for Stitch's Bar and Grill to open up in Tomorrowland...

Featuring such house specialties as the Chili Dog Milkshake and Burnt Steak Skippy

I'm assuming from the location that this is going to be a Pirate version of Trader Sam's. Given how the lines can grow for Trader Sam's, having a second location of the type with a theme that can appeal to the same base sounds like a good idea. Can probably even reuse a lot of the same drinks. 3/4 of the Trader Sam's drinks are rum drinks.

They need a drink called "The Pirate's Life."

Fairly confident this is going into Pirates League.

AWWWW My kids loved that when they were small. My daughter even got them to make her into a Mermaid Pirate LOL

The Dead Men Tell No Tales with associated sound clip and possibly talking skull.

The Dunking Mayor. Water squirts out a bust of his head and into a bucket.

The Burning City could be the volcano bowl. The windows go red with some Rome Burning pumped in.

The Dog Bone with an ingredient being guarded by an animatronic Walt that the bartender must coax with a whistle. (Is Walt the dog's name in Pirates canon, or am I just remembering the Monkey Island gag and thinking it's official?)

The Redhead and everyone chants. I know there's history there, but it might be a thing they'd be find skirting around in an adult establishment. Or maybe the Larbord Side?

The Yo-Ho seems like a slam dunk, but there's no way they let it fly.

Boy, I thought I'd have a full menu, but when I think of the iconic things in Pirates to me, they're either inappropriate (the last two, the pirates chasing women) or wholely unappealing (The Hair Leg or The Really Bad Egg). I even watched a ride-through. I really had to stretch to get two good ones, one stretch (which immediately conjured an idea for an associated act that would necessitate CM's affecting a fake Spanish accent), and one terrible name.

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?

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.

When was it last open?

When was it last open?

I believe up to a few days ago

Menus removed and windows covered. Looks like they’ve added an ODV cart to the old Aladdin gift shop area in an attempt to add food offerings. Worlds busiest theme park with multiple QSR locations closed.

They could have put the eggrolls and tthe ODV stuff cluttering up the entrance to Adventureland in there... then you could actually buy food and not have to walk around with it....It's fine for a pretzel, but not much else

Agrée, they put so much emphasis on these popular snacks and nowhere to eat them

Did the spring roll cart kick the bucket too?

IMO, Tortuga Tavern became irrelevant once they quit serving Tex-Mex, which was some time after 2014. I know it came out of the same kitchen as Pecos Bill, but when some of the items were simply moved to the PB menu, there were some changes made to them and they weren’t as good as they used to be. The taco salads and burritos at Tortuga Tavern were always good and the portions were large.

Spring roll cart was there the other day...along with another vending cart...I didn't pay attention to the other offerings... The idea of walking around with food or balancing on a garbage can to eat sounds terrible to me...

This is absolutely crazy to me. They have what, like 6 total QSR places in the entire park?

It was open two weeks ago…

Meh…makes sense…nobody is buying food anyway…it seems

Very lightly used…but that was on a Saturday/sunday of a holiday weekend…so that might just be an “outlier” dead time

@wdwmagic any chance this project also encompasses the new DVC lounge?
