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.

Disney build anything new without ripping out a classic --nope --but they sure can build lounges you can sit in when there is nothing to do

I’ll take 2 and, let’s be honest, you’ll take 3. Wait till you see the Halloween Ghost Pirates mugs that they only sell at MNSSHP for $39.99. Non-alcoholic beverage included!

"Buy the EXCLUSIVE Pirate's Punch for $14.99, or experience it in a SPECIAL!!! Pirates-themed mug for ONLY $15 more!!!"

Don't forget the markup on the mugs......

So, basically a QS space with weak pre-made drinks designed to shuffle guests through at a high hourly rate?

HauntedPirate3 hours ago

Yep. I think Bob said something along the lines of they expect some spillover days from people booking Universal trips to increase attendance next year.

JoeCamel3 hours ago

I can't imagine it will have more than a Pirate's Punch and George's Grog premix in themed souvenir mugs

I think Disney is just hoping Pirates/SSE/TT will be enough for you to add a day or 2 at disney that people weren't planning on.

It seems Disney released it early and removed it - you can find the updates now on the Disney Parks Blog: https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/new-details-about-whats-coming-to-walt-disney-world-in-2025/

"Honey, we could book a Universal trip next fall and see their new theme park or wait and book WDW and see the Pirates bar, Spaceship Earth bar, a parade, and whatever they're doing with Test Track. Which one should we book?" "DISNEY FOR SURE!!!!!!!1!!!"
