Disney©"Pirates Of The Caribbean" Square Plates, 9", Party Favor
Posted by: Jess Colopy December 8, 2024 0 Disney Parks fans are raising concerns about the future of a beloved Pirates of the Caribbean experience at Walt Disney World Resort following recent developments in Adventureland. The Central Florida Disney park recently announced plans to open a new pirate-themed bar at Magic Kingdom Park in late summer 2025, leaving fans speculating about what it might replace. While the announcement excited many fans of the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, others worry it may mean the end of A Pirate’s Adventure ~ Treasures of the Seven Seas , a free interactive experience in Adventureland. This unique activity allows Magic Kingdom Park guests to use their MagicBand or theme park ticket to pick up a magic talisman at the Crow’s Nest building, which unlocks treasure maps and five unique missions. Disney Park guests who complete the missions receive collectible cards themed to Pirates of the Caribbean. Those who finish all five are awarded an exclusive card signed by Captain Jack Sparrow. Fans have praised the experience as an immersive, no-cost adventure—something rare at Walt Disney World Resort . Though A Pirate’s Adventure isn’t widely known among Magic Kingdom Park visitors, fans on Reddit have been vocal about their love for the attraction. Recently, Disney Parks enthusiasts debated whether the experience might be removed to make way for the new bar. A post from Redditor u/prometheus_winced sparked the conversation about the “greatest hidden attraction.” “As far as overlooked treasures go, this is a big one,” the Disney Parks fan wrote. “If you have the chance, do a couple of these with your party. You can split up and do two different ones and tell each other about your adventure.” Credit: Inside the Magic “These are a great time waster if you’re waiting on a Lightning Lane period,” they continued. “Each adventure takes maybe 10-15 minutes to complete. I’ve never known anyone to be aware of them—and yet once someone has tried them, I’ve never known anyone to not be delighted.” The post garnered hundreds of upvotes and comments from fans sharing their memories of the interactive adventure. “One of my favorite moments on my last trip was setting off the cannon and a bunch of kids suddenly swarming me, asking how I did it and where I got the map, etc.,” said u/JuniorCaptain. Credit: Inside the Magic “This was such a fun thing to do on my trip!” replied u/TheOrganicMachine. “It’s the little things like this that make Disney so memorable.” Some fans have criticized Walt Disney World Resort for not giving A Pirate’s Adventure ~ Treasures of the Seven Seas the visibility it deserves. Credit: Ed Aguila, Inside the Magic “I love that Disney has this, but it needs better signage and better hours,” said u/infrared_hologram. “A sign by Pirates with something like ‘Free Treasure Hunt This Way! ->’ would help draw in the crowds. Keeping the distribution open later would help a lot too; it closes way too early. I feel like every time I’m in the mood to do it the distribution is closed for the day.” Still, others argue that the new bar won’t replace the interactive experience, noting that the Crow’s Nest building is far too small to accommodate a lounge. “That building is nowhere near big enough to be turned into a lounge,” said u/5centraise. “It’s barely big enough to be a walk-up drink window.” Credit: Disney “Unless they’re planning to make the lounge cross the walkway, it will not be where Pirates Adventure is,” u/Stormwindadventures added. “Even if they did remove the current distribution spot, I have to imagine it would be easy to move since it’s basically the same size as a closet.” Walt Disney World Resort has not made any official announcements about the future of A Pirate’s Adventure ~ Treasures of the Seven Seas. While some fans fear the experience may be removed, others are hopeful it will remain part of Magic Kingdom Park’s Adventureland lineup.

Shannen Ace May 25, 2024 Walt Disney World is hopping on the Stanley trend with a new Pirates of the Caribbean tumbler inspired by the signature Stanley design. The tumbler features the wider top half and slimmer bottom half that Stanleys are known for, which means they can hold more liquid but also fit in a standard cup holder. It’s a coral color with a silver design on one side featuring crossed swords, a skull, an anchor, a ship, and a compass rose. A quote in a circle reads “Always be yourself unless you can be a pirate.” It has a rectangular handle with black stripes through it. It includes a black lid and a translucent straw. The Stanley-esque lid includes flexible silicone around the straw holes that help hold it in place. The tumbler is stainless steel. It appears to be about 40 oz. We found it in Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar , the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop in Magic Kingdom.

Previous Next © 2025 WDW News today A beloved Disneyland Park ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, abruptly closed its doors on December 11, 2024. Known for its timeless charm and deep ties to Disney Park history, the attraction has captivated guests for 56 years. First opening in 1967, Pirates of the Caribbean was one of the last attractions personally overseen by Walt Disney himself. Nestled in New Orleans Square, the ride transports Disney Park guests into a world of plundering pirates, fiery ship battles, and the memorable tune “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me).” Over the years, the attraction has undergone updates to remain relevant to modern audiences. In the 2010s, Walt Disney Imagineering reimagined the bride auction scene, transforming it into a display of adventurous pirates bartering goods rather than women. While some guests embraced the change, others argued for preserving the ride’s historical elements. Despite differing opinions, the attraction continues to draw millions yearly at Disneyland Park, Magic Kingdom Park, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. On December 11, Redditor u/Recovery37 shared an image of guests evacuating Pirates of the Caribbean after the ride abruptly shut down due to unknown “issues.” Dozens of theme park guests were stranded on boats as Disney cast members worked to address the issue. Pirates got shut down Pirates got shut down by u/Recovery37 in Disneyland The cause of the closure remains unclear, but technical malfunctions or guest mishaps, such as dropped items in the water, are common culprits for ride downtimes at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Pirates of the Caribbean eventually reopened later in the day, causing massive crowding during the busy holiday season. “I don’t think the posted 20-minute wait is right,” Redditor u/whyisreplicainmyname noted. “Queue is packed.” Are you a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride updates? Let Disney Dining know in the comments. This happens daily, not hardly worth mentioning along with the Matterhorn and others that close abruptly on a daily basis. Why would you say ceased after 56 years when it came back that same day 😭 I really thought they were going to shut it down I agree. I Quickly went to read the story about “closing after 56years” just to read it was a temporary event that some rides go through daily for the Safety of passengers. BOOOOOOOO And I wanted to see Avengers campus but not since Disney went Woke dam This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed .
