Rumor Pecos Bills to be rethemed?

[montyz81]

What is happening to Frontierland? Walt Disney would never stand for this. Read here: Pecos Bills to be rethemed

I’m not sure how valid this site is for rumors.

Thread title should probably be changed to reflect that this is a rumor.

I have no idea if this is true one way or the other, but seeing Imagineers at a site “looking around” does not automatically mean a retheme is imminent.

I also wonder how they’d handle an extended closure at one of the park’s two largest quick service restaurants.

The last time they did an extended closure of Pecos Bill's in the 90s, they temporarily reopened the Adventureland Verandah.

Except that's Skipper Canteen now.

I guess they'd have to keep Tortuga Tavern open the whole time, though it's not really adequate for such crowds. Perhaps Tomorrowland Terrace instead? It's on the other side of the park, but at least has the space.

It is indeed an option to make this Tiana-themed. Frontierland would basically continue from CBJ across the bridge just west of RoA to BTMRR while Tiana gets a mini-district that may even be part of Adventureland.

Adventureland in green, Frontierland in red.

Doesn’t mean this is the plan, though. But is was thought transitioning from PotC to New Orleans would work well.

I don't know how I missed it for 40 years (or however long it has been around), but my family and I went to Pecos Bill's for the very first time this summer. We enjoyed it, and it was packed. We absolutely planned to return next time. Oh well.

$29 Tianna Beignets? Shut up and take my money!

I'll miss Pecos Bills if this is true. Best QS in MK... (I realize that's not saying much. )

It's a terrible idea IMHO. The MK POTC does not transition to a New Orleans as it is themed to a Caribbean fort nothing like NOLA.

Build a mini New Orleans on the far side of Splash outside the RR station/berm.

Sleepy hollow, Columbia Harbour House, and Casey’s are better

If they could call it Tiana's Mile long Cafe in nods to it's original name from the mile long bar would work.

But, If it is true if Pecos gets rethemed it does remove the tarnish this animated short had..And yet we still have the native Americans on peter pans flight..

I think it should look like this:

Adventureland in green, Bayou mini-land in purple, and Frontierland in red.

Sorry my image isn’t perfect. I took the photo on my Google Maps phone app.

Definitely will be interesting to see what they go with here.

As long as it includes beignets, I’m all for it!!!

 

[HauntedPirate]

Or, you know, leave it alone and BUILD SOMETHING NEW.

This company is just a friggin’ mess creatively.

Just remove the Pecos Bill name and the like three props that reference him in the dining room. Problem solved.

I have always like the French Market at DS...

 

[Unbanshee]

Well that's worse than I thought it would be

To really do it right they would need to redo the front of that portion of the building. I am sure Disney will not, but they should if this is the plan. The entrance would be where the red arrow is pointing.

Imagineers were touring the restaurant yesterday.

Bracing myself for the comments when they announce that CBJ will be looking like this soon:
