This past week I had the pleasure of catching up with some old CM buddies and I got a few interesting pieces of news to share. Well it looks like Tortuga from Pirates of the Caribbean will be going into the old Verenda restaurant in Adventureland. Its been empty for years and with the new dining plan the demand for sit down restaurants has been through the roof. From what I understand is that they want Tortuga to be the equivalant of the Royal Table restaurant in the castle for boys. This plan is moving along very quickly inside Disney. Everyone seems to be very excited about it and the budget keeps jumping up. It seems they want to spend big money on this project and have animatronic figures throughout the restaurant. I was told it will be greenlit very soon and as soon as it does construction will begin immediatly.
The other news I got was about the apartment in the castle. As of this past Wednsday night it has been completed and the first person to stay there was the MKs own Phil Holmes. For the next 2 weeks different Disney execs will be staying there right up to the big press event at the end of January. Then some unknown "celebrity" will call it home for the night followed by the first guests to stay there the following day with all of the media watching. From the fist hand accounts I have heard the apartment is beutifull. They really spared no expense and did an amazing job with the theme.
If any one has any questions let me know I'll tell you what I know.
