food IS a theme park
Ahoy there, mateys! Exciting news is coming your way from Disney World!
It’s finally here!!!
Disney just announced the opening date for the new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge coming to Magic Kingdom.
In case you only just heard, you’re not imagining things — there’s a Pirates of the Caribbean lounge coming to Magic Kingdom.
Welcome to Adventureland
It’s one of those announcements that could feel kind of random…until you start connecting the dots. Disney didn’t just wake up one day and decide to serve rum in Adventureland — a few very specific trends and changes helped push this idea forward. Today, we’re breaking down the real reasons why this lounge is happening.
Get ready for a closer look at the NEW Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge coming to Magic Kingdom!
Welcome to Adventureland
The Beak and Barrel is a new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern coming to Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland later this year. While we know a little bit about what the tavern will offer (such as “tasty options for pirates of all ages — as well as refreshing cocktails for Guests ages 21 and up”) within a couple of lively spaces themed after the famous swashbucklers, Disney recently gave us a more in-depth look at some of the restaurant’s aesthetics!
While 2025 may be the year of Disney World closures, there are so many new offerings opening this year!
Cinderella Castle
This includes new stage shows, a nighttime parade, Test Track 3.0, and two ride-themed lounges! We are super excited that both of the lounges will open in Magic Kingdom and in EPCOT and are huge fans of the direction that Disney is taking as we are suckers for a ride theme! Although we can’t wait to dine at these lounges when they open later this year, we are a bit worried about this one reason.
2025 is here and Disney World will see a lot of changes this year.
Crowds at Magic Kingdom
Tons of construction will be beginning in Disney World this upcoming year, which means that things will be looking different than what we know, Magic Kingdom especially. We’re here to give you the warning that it might be more crowded than you are expecting!
Disney has been VERY busy recently with announcements concerning the theme parks.

Earlier this year, we learned about a new Avatar land and Coco ride coming to Disneyland, along with an expansion to Avengers Campus. Disney World is getting a Villains show, a Monsters, Inc. land, a Tropical Americas-themed land, two new Cars rides, and a Villains land, among other things. Well, recently, Disney started dropping some opening timelines for some of the new things coming to Disney World — and we couldn’t be more excited.
If there’s one thing that we love here at DFB, it’s a new Disney World restaurant!
Magic Kingdom
We get SO hyped any time that Disney announces a new place to dine in the parks or resorts, and coming in 2025, we’ve got a few new spots to add to that list. One of those places is a lounge coming to Magic Kingdom, and we just got more information about when it’s opening!
We here at DFB like to think of ourselves as Disney scientists.

And part of our Disney scientist duties is studying the latest Disney trends. And we think we just found a surprising new trend that’s been taking over Disney World. So sit back, relax, and step into our lab as we show you our totally legit scientific data.
Drink up, me hearties! A new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is coming to Magic Kingdom and we’re looking forward to coming ashore for some grub.

So far, Disney hasn’t shared too many details about what we can expect from this new lounge, but we do know it will serve drinks and some light bites. What sort of drinks and light bites remains to be seen, but there is one Disney restaurant that might give us an idea!
There’s a lot coming to Disney World in 2025!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve got construction beginning on the Villains land and Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom, construction on a Monsters Inc. land beginning in Hollywood Studios, an updated Test Track ride with a new theme coming to EPCOT, and construction begins to turn DinoLand U.S.A. into Tropical Americas. And that’s not even all of it! There is an interesting trend though that we’re noticing with some of these announcements — why have no restaurants been announced but two new lounges are on their way?
