Refurbishment walls have been removed from the Torre del Cielo tower at Walt Disney World's Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in Magic Kingdom.


The iconic tower has undergone a complete repainting and refurbishment, bringing a fresh and vibrant look to one of the most recognizable exterior features of the attraction.


While the tower refurbishment is complete, construction walls remain around other areas of the Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar. These areas are still under construction as Disney prepares for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean Lounge, set to open in 2025. The new lounge promises to offer guests a unique experience, building on the rich lore of the Pirates franchise.

Hoping this lounge took notes from the Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure.

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?

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.

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.
