Where’s our best guess on where this goes? A new structure? Taking over the Tortuga half of the shared restaurant?

Definitely looks like the old Pirates League from concept art

Is there a reason they can’t/won’t just put the Barker Bird back in its original spot?

 

[Captain Barbossa]

I like the idea, but I’m really hoping that this is/was going to be for Tortuga Tavern.

A lounge. So does that mean expanding alcohol sales past sit down restaurants?

Well I think a lounge could easily be considered a “sit down” in this context. Doesn’t mean alcohol is coming to quick serves (or stands) at MK

Taking over Tortuga would seem to make the most sense since it isn't always open.

Conspiracy theory time. If they put the lounge in the old pirates league space, it would give justification to make all of Tortuga and Pecos into Tiana's Palace.

What do they do about the Adventureland side of it though? I’d hate to see that dual theming disappear.

Yeah I could definitely see this.

Maybe Tiana's Place takes over the Tortuga kitchen while leaving some of its seating to the lounge?

I thought the same, however, the TikTok video that was released after the announcement has Cast Members running from the attraction to Tortuga Tavern. Is there a space for a lounge next to the Tavern behind the Fuente de la Fortuna?

 

[Haymarket2008]

I think this is taking over Tortuga with Tiana eventually taking over Pecos. Same facility, correct? They can have the Tortuga side down for reno and then close Pecos when Pirates opens.

That side a New Orleans Square?

i still think the place to do a “New Orleans Square” is on the far side of Splash next to the RR station/bathroom and make a path leading to the new north side of the RoA lands.

A new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge is coming to Adventureland at Magic Kingdom Park in Florida. This first-of-its-kind experience will extend the story of Pirates of the Caribbean. Imagineers are in the design process now and more details are coming in the future.

Taking over Tortuga Tavern?

But what about the Adventureland side of the building? They can’t have Tianan on both sides.

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.

Haunted Mansion & Pirates are “IPs”
