Pirates New Queue Update?

Sounds like they don’t want construction walls up during the 70th. I imagine as soon it’s over those walls will go up around Port Royal.

If this is the case, they better start doing something in the hub.

Honestly, they'll either finish it or put something innocuous over it like a flower bed by the 70th imo

Really? I'd bet it stays exactly as it is through the '70th. But maybe I'm just a cynic.

You’re probably right. They’ve been there so long I don’t even notice them anymore. Sad.

Has there ever been a time when Disneyland didn't have walls up around something?

I think Disney should relaunch a lottery to win a stay in the dream suite!

If they took away the dream suite, where would John Stamos stay when he visits the park?

a futon up in the loft at Madame Leota gift shop?

From the other site, sounds like they converted the space over night.

I don’t hate it as a seating area!

It's hard to see the utility of using Port Royal Curios as extended queue for Pirates unless the Royal St. Veranda (in red) goes away to allow a connection to the existing queue...and to devote its outdoor seating as additional queue space.

But even then, it's a modest amount of square footage to add for queue, and the project seems questionable as to whether it's worth losing a quick-service food location and retail. The only way it really makes sense to me is if this is all to allow for a staircase connection (inside Port Royal) to the Dream Suite/Disney Gallery/apartment space above, where the queue would continue, allowing for a more comprehensive solution to the Pirates queue problem.

I don’t know if their logic in a queue re-route is to add a bunch more space, but rather to make it so that the main pathway in front of the attraction’s current queue doesn’t get so congested. With that goal in mind, a more modest footprint to rework into queue space probably gets the job done enough.

So any news? Just went in POTC yesterday. The line was 40 min and the extened line went all the way to Tiana’s Palace. This makes it really hard if you want to go to Big Thunder because you have to go all the way around extended queue or over the POTC bridge which is flooded with the ride queue as well. It’s just such a pain and an eyesore, I really wish Disney kept to their word to take Genie plus off but one can never trust Disney.

I would go this way.
