Hey all! It’s time for another visit to the restaurant-that’s-never-open-unless-it’s-super-busy in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland! Yep, we’re talking about that pirate hideaway, Tortuga Tavern, and we’ve got some brand new goodies to share!

Aunt Polly’s in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is an adorable little counter service restaurant on Tom Sawyer Island that’s rarely open, and is usually only serving during holidays and very busy times in the parks.

While the restaurant was supposed to be open and serving during this holiday week, we’ve had reports from our readers that it’s not been welcoming guests as planned. Here’s what you need to know about the situation:
A cast member in the Magic Kingdom told us that there’s been a maintenance issue (a water pipe leak, specifically) on the island, requiring Aunt Polly’s to delay or halt their opening. According to the cast member we spoke with, it will be a daily decision whether or not Aunt Polly’s will open during this holiday timeframe.

Guests who are interested in visiting the restaurant on the island this week should check with @WDWToday — the official Walt Disney World twitter account — on the day you’d like to visit to confirm whether the restaurant will be opening or not before you board your raft to head all the way over! 🙂
A team member has since reached out to @WDWToday and was told Aunt Polly’s is indeed open the week of July 4th. However, we have not been able to confirm this news ourselves.

Epcot Reusable Shopping Bags
They have done this, for instance, by switching to paper straws in the parks and by introducing reusable shopping bags over the past several months. A more recent development, however, is that Disney has just started to add refillable water bottle stations to a few locations. [Read more…]
UPDATE: Per guests in the park, we’re seeing that Aunt Polly’s opening seems to be delayed or halted for this holiday week. We’ll keep you updated with more information when we receive it.Aunt Polly’s
is a VERY seasonal counter service restaurant in Magic Kingdom, so we’re always excited when it opens up to guests (typically just a handful of times throughout the year).
