A new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge is coming to Adventureland at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

Disney says this first-of-its-kind experience will extend the story of Pirates of the Caribbean, and Imagineers are in the design process now, with more details coming in the future. Disney did reveal one small detail - the Barker Bird animatronic (pictured in the concept art) will make a welcome return.

The most likely location for the new lounge is the former Pirates League makeover experience space.

It's going to be a poop show from the very beginning.

a second story could be nice, but then they need elevators etc... I am curious to how they will handle the crowds with an intimate space in a park with very high demand...

If Disney was smart they would make this a multi story bar like you see in Nashville. Alcohol is a great way to spur profit based off margins alone. This should easily be a 4 story bar with an elevator and balconies with live music.

The size of Trader Sam's was a huge mistake... They could have done something larger and broken itnto different rooms like the old Adventurer's club... likewise the outdoor overflow patio shoud have been beautifully designed and themed like the interior...which would have made it a lot more pleasant. They KNEW this was going to be a hit. This was not a surprise... The one in CA is equally mobbed so there was a track record to follow. This lounge should be larger and they should limit admittance to 21 and older...

Disney is so weird sometimes- I went to Trader Sam’s at Polynesian - asked if they had room for 1…. And they let me stand at the bar. There were tables available but not for a party of 1…. I still had a fun time cause it’s Trader Sams but cmon haha.

IIRC my party was 4, another 4 and then a party of 2 was added. It went from reasonably okay to kinda being on top of each other when the third party was added.

How many were in each party?

doctornickSep 02, 2024

The odd thing is that it’s easy to get reservations but they feel the need to cram parties together on the same tables/booths. When we were there last trip they put three parties at our table.

There's no need to make this huge. I'd expect something similar in Villains land.

larryzSep 02, 2024

a) seems kinda small given the huge crowds they should expect b) they're using wood framing in tropically humid, termite-infested Florida c) construction ladder brought a couple of friends so you can tell they're serious about this

The rum don't care.

Pre-mixed drinks......

Yes. Very much like Oga's. Mostly standing room. Drink and a bar snack. 45 minute lounging time limit. Can't carry out booze. No window service. Reservations needed. MK already serves alcohol at sit-down table-service restaurants.
