Disney has confirmed that the new Pirates of the Caribbean Lounge will open in 2025 at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World and shared new artwork.

This rambunctious watering hole will offer a welcoming haven for all pirate-kind, big and small, and everyone in between. Here, bandits and buccaneers-to-be from every corner of the seven seas are welcome to join together and raise a toast to the pirate life.

Confirmed to be opening 2025!
I really hope they recognize what an asset Oga's is in Galaxy's Edge and put that level of effort into this. Super excited for this.

So is there anything to glean from them keeping the SotMK portal on the tower after the refurb? Or is it just cheaper to leave it?
Sorry I don't feel like reading through all the pages lol.... is there supposed to be alcohol in this new lounge?

LOL! Just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

I'm assuming it's also going to be an Oga's type of thing with "kind of" hard to get reservations?

No, there’s not. And it’s not actually going to be a lounge either. That’s just the disguise. This will be a new AA/intervention center to help the pirates overcome their addiction to rum with hopes of them becoming upstanding citizens of society.
What would it take for them to ever bring back the various fountains in Caribbean Plaza? (Besides someone to budget it in!)
Walls have pushed into a portion of the Lightning Lane queue - photos from today:
Here's a peek at work in the Pirates exit area/gift shop:
Very curious to see the end result and if it brings more life and things of interest back to Caribbean Plaza.

Maybe some fountains that actually work?
Was randomly daydreaming about WDW this morning. And it dawned on me that the idea of the reviving an old name in Adventureland for the new Pirates bar.
Call the new Pirates Bar - El Pirata y el Perico.

It’s a cool Disney Deep Cut for fans and call back to the early years of WDW. This is the original name of the Tortuga Tavern (for those who did not know). The name changed about 10-12 years back. Its Spanish and when translated it means "The Pirate and the Parrot." With the bar having a pirate theme and the Barker Parrot from the old PotC entry coming back to the bar when it opens, this could be a clever name for the location.
