It received’t simply be the launch day that’s a problem; it’ll be each morning ADRs go stay for the foreseeable future.
Earlier than we begin the photograph tour, listed below are some necessary insurance policies & protocol for Beak & Barrel:
Pirates (Bar) Code
Eat, drink and be entertained at The Beak and Barrel, a welcoming haven for all pirate-kind. Seize a fast chunk and quench your thirst. The menu options tasty choices for pirates of all ages—in addition to refreshing cocktails for Company ages 21 and up. Examine again later for menu particulars. That is Walt Disney World’s method of claiming that, in contrast to GEO-82, youngsters shall be allowed at Beak and Barrel.
Advance Eating Reservations are strongly really useful. As a result of house is extraordinarily restricted, the Beak and Barrel is proscribed to 45 minutes per social gathering.

It had solely been in desk service eating places, and restricted to a two drink most, till now. It is a lounge, so not fairly the identical, however we’d count on the drink restrict to persist-in addition to the 45 minute keep restrict. Guidelines on prime of guidelines! And in contrast to the Pirate Code, these guidelines are extra what you’d name guidelines than tips.
All of this positions the Beak and Barrel as a Magic Kingdom and pirates-themed counterpart to Oga’s Cantina at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That Star Wars bar has the same time constraint as a result of house, and for a lot of company, it’s a one and accomplished as a result of rushed nature of the expertise. We hope that’s beginning to change over at Oga’s Cantina, however needless to say it’s taken over 5 years for demand to die down there. Beak and Barrel would possibly show much more well-liked given its location in Magic Kingdom and doubtlessly extra interesting theme.
Beak & Barrel Backstory
The Beak and Barrel bar extends the story of Pirates of the Caribbean. Established by the legendary pirate rumrunner, Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn, and her talkative first mate, Rummy, this vigorous pirate pub will quickly welcome bandits and buccaneers of all ages from each nook of the seven seas. The Beak and Barrel is a haven for all pirate-kind—from seasoned scoundrels to small swashbucklers. Whilst you sip and snack, you’ll be immersed within the Tortuga world by means of sing-alongs, storytelling and surprises.
As Merry’s trusted companion and first mate, Rummy serves because the tavern’s quartermaster keeping track of the place from his roost excessive atop the bar. Though retired from seafaring life, Rummy is a dutiful crewman to his beloved Merry, making certain all the things is ship-shape, sharing tales of piracy and main the bar in a rousing toast or two.
Eagle-eyed Disney followers might discover that Rummy bears a placing resemblance to the unique Barker Hen, also referred to as Peg-Leg Pete, that beforehand sat on the entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean however flew the coop a while in the past. The Barker Hen was an Audio-Animatronics determine stationed outdoors the doorway to the attraction that, as its title suggests, was a ‘barker’ who used strains and lyrics to draw visitor consideration.
The Barker Hen was eliminated in 2006 through the trip reimagining that added Jack Sparrow and different parts from the hit movie franchise. The Audio Animatronics determine’s return has been rumored many instances through the years, but it surely’s lastly occurring (albeit as a more recent and presumably modernized AA). The brand new Barker Hen will make his triumphant return to Pirates of the Caribbean when the Beak & Barrel opens!
With that background out of the way in which, on with the photograph tour from our media preview of the Beak & Barrel. Because the house is at present a bit full, I wasn’t in a position to seize empty bar images (or a tripod for low mild photographs), and as an alternative will use the inventory pictures supplied by Walt Disney World, together with descriptions of every house adopted by my very own sequence of 60+ element photographs.
The Mess
The biggest and central house at The Beak and Barrel was as soon as the mess corridor for Spanish troopers and is now identified appropriately as “The Mess.” It’s since been claimed and repurposed by a crafty crew of pirates. Be sure you lookup as ye enter to see a ship’s bell. Rumor has it this bell was from Captain Redd’s first ship gifted to Merry on the tavern’s founding.
Lengthy tables span the room, permitting for pirates to collect ‘spherical and inform their very own tales, whereas an imposing anchor lined in candles and dripping wax hangs excessive above. These tables supply communal seating within the Mess, that means you’ll be seated alongside buccaneer from different ports of name–however at the least you’ll have a chair with a correct again right here.
On the far finish of the room, the darkish nook generally known as The Brig nonetheless bears the bars and framework of its previous life – although the door rests close by, pried off its hinges way back.
Cursed Bar
Brimming with a formidable assortment of uncommon bottles and prized spoils saved behind lock and key, the large skull-shaped bar – anchored to the facet of The Mess – is the eye-catcher of the house and has heard many, many shanties sung in its shadow.
At its coronary heart rests the Enchanted Rum Bottle, an ornate bottle of grog, which sits in a spot of honor in its personal particular cove. Gifted by a strong enchantress, the tavern’s barrels and the pirates’ cheer won’t ever run dry so long as the bottle stays full. Let’s hope ye received’t be left asking, “Why is the rum gone?”
Perched atop the bar, Rummy welcomes patrons and retains an eye fixed on the crew, fast with a narrative, joke, or tune because the Audio Animatronics determine wobbles out from his important roost within the hole of the cranium’s eye.
Mapmaker’s Room
Approaching the doorway to this room, company will discover cannonball injury within the partitions, with the backstory being that the pirates needed to blast their method into the previously-locked Mapmaker’s Room. Cleansing up after themselves apparently violates the Pirate Code, so there’s injury, destruction, and even cannonballs nonetheless smashed into the partitions.
The Mapmaker’s Room is stuffed to the brim with rolled up maps, items of parchment, spilled ink and plenty of treasured secrets and techniques that belonged to a crazed pirate cartographer. The Madvert Mapmaker, if you’ll.
On the facet wall is a big painted map of the identified pirating world, with many pirating secrets and techniques to be found. Within the center is a sprawling worktable the place the Mapmaker would have unfold out his instruments and set to work. Be aware that this worktable standing room solely, that means that the Mapmaker’s Room is a shared ‘leaning house.’ Could need to keep away from this one, if in any respect doable.
Captains’ Quarters
Contained in the Captains’ Quarters, visiting pirates can take pleasure in a style of the finer life, which was as soon as the residing quarters of the Spanish Comandante. Nevertheless, the effective art work and material hasn’t escaped slashing blades or burn marks through the years by rambunctious pirates, and in some locations, light spots on the wall are all that is still of now plundered portraits.
Above the fireside are mounted 5 miniature ships in glass bottles, rumored to characterize pirates from each nook of the world banding collectively to defeat tyranny. Hold a weathered eye out, as these mysterious bottles have been identified to return alive and have interaction in a fearsome battle.
Captains’ Cubicles
Alongside the wall within the Captains’ Quarters, discover 4 grand cubicles with intricately carved wood panels. Every sales space tells tales of the exploits of infamous pirates, whose legends nonetheless echo throughout the seas.
For these maintaining rating at dwelling, “The Mess” is the previous Pirates League and the “Captain’s Quarters” is the portion of the reward store that’s been annexed for the Beak & Barrel. Not less than, that’s what I’ve surmised from the placement of the doorways and pictures of the previous Pirates League (I by no means had event to step inside that venue). You may as well see parts which have been repurposed from Pirates League.
Pirates League’s closure was introduced again in January 2020 (so this was not a COVID minimize). We reported on the time that it was “unclear what’s motivating the Pirates League closure, or if Walt Disney World has totally different plans for this location.”
Quick-forward over 5 years, and the Beak & Barrel is the reply. We’re curious as as to if this was deliberate again then and obtained delayed, or if the thought to reimagine the house got here alongside after Pirates League was already defunct.
Now let’s check out a few of the particulars in Beak & Barrel Bar by way of the images I’ve taken up to now within the new Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern.

Approaching the doorway to this room, company will discover cannonball injury within the partitions, with the backstory being that the pirates needed to blast their method into the previously-locked Mapmaker’s Room. Cleansing up after themselves apparently violates the Pirate Code, so there’s injury, destruction, and even cannonballs nonetheless smashed into the partitions.
The Mapmaker’s Room is stuffed to the brim with rolled up maps, items of parchment, spilled ink and plenty of treasured secrets and techniques that belonged to a crazed pirate cartographer. The Madvert Mapmaker, if you’ll.
On the facet wall is a big painted map of the identified pirating world, with many pirating secrets and techniques to be found. Within the center is a sprawling worktable the place the Mapmaker would have unfold out his instruments and set to work. Be aware that this worktable standing room solely, that means that the Mapmaker’s Room is a shared ‘leaning house.’ Could need to keep away from this one, if in any respect doable.
Captains’ Quarters
Contained in the Captains’ Quarters, visiting pirates can take pleasure in a style of the finer life, which was as soon as the residing quarters of the Spanish Comandante. Nevertheless, the effective art work and material hasn’t escaped slashing blades or burn marks through the years by rambunctious pirates, and in some locations, light spots on the wall are all that is still of now plundered portraits.
Above the fireside are mounted 5 miniature ships in glass bottles, rumored to characterize pirates from each nook of the world banding collectively to defeat tyranny. Hold a weathered eye out, as these mysterious bottles have been identified to return alive and have interaction in a fearsome battle.
Captains’ Cubicles
Alongside the wall within the Captains’ Quarters, discover 4 grand cubicles with intricately carved wood panels. Every sales space tells tales of the exploits of infamous pirates, whose legends nonetheless echo throughout the seas.
For these maintaining rating at dwelling, “The Mess” is the previous Pirates League and the “Captain’s Quarters” is the portion of the reward store that’s been annexed for the Beak & Barrel. Not less than, that’s what I’ve surmised from the placement of the doorways and pictures of the previous Pirates League (I by no means had event to step inside that venue). You may as well see parts which have been repurposed from Pirates League.
Pirates League’s closure was introduced again in January 2020 (so this was not a COVID minimize). We reported on the time that it was “unclear what’s motivating the Pirates League closure, or if Walt Disney World has totally different plans for this location.”
Quick-forward over 5 years, and the Beak & Barrel is the reply. We’re curious as as to if this was deliberate again then and obtained delayed, or if the thought to reimagine the house got here alongside after Pirates League was already defunct.
Now let’s check out a few of the particulars in Beak & Barrel Bar by way of the images I’ve taken up to now within the new Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern.
Our Photograph Tour of Beak & Barrel Bar
Right here’s a full video tour of the Beak & Barrel Bar by way of Walt Disney World:
Our preliminary response to the Beak & Barrel bar is basically optimistic. The underlying design, craftsmanship, lighting and audio design is all implausible. Imagineering nailed the core thematic work, clearly studying classes from Oga’s Cantina and iterating on these for this Pirates of the Caribbean-themed tavern. You would actually spend all 45 minutes of your time right here simply wandering round consuming within the particulars and on the lookout for Easter eggs, and nonetheless not spot all of them.
Nevertheless, this primary impression comes with the (large) caveat that we skilled this throughout a media occasion throughout which capability was way more restricted than throughout day by day operations. Because the visitor expertise right here is so dependent upon operational realities, and since the principles right here received’t be just like the ‘tips’ model of the Pirates’ Code, we’re going to chorus from providing extra in-depth reactions till truly experiencing the Beak and Barrel as paying company on a daily working day. We’ll be again very quickly for that, so keep tuned!

We simply the prospect to step inside Beak & Barrel, the brand new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom, and now we have a ton to indicate you, from the meals to the interiors. This shares 60+ images & movies of the brand new buccaneer bar, plus a number of suggestions and extra.
To say Walt Disney World followers have been anxiously awaiting the Beak and Barrel bar could be a large understatement. This venue was first introduced two years in the past at Vacation spot D23 (which is developing once more subsequent week!), and the information was met with a mixture of pleasure and confusion. The latter about the place, particularly, it could go.
Again then, it was solely generally known as the Pirates of the Caribbean tavern, and the massive reveal was that the famed Barker Hen would return. There’s been a gradual trickle of stories and idea artwork since, we realized that the Beak and Barrel (as it could come to be known as) would substitute the outdated Pirates League, unused stockrooms, and a portion of the exit space reward retailers (versus Tortuga Tavern), and Disney began to tease the interiors.
Most not too long ago, Walt Disney World introduced that the Beak and Barrel Bar opens on August 29, 2025. ADRs have been speculated to open on August 14. That didn’t occur. In case you missed it (fortunate you!), we cowl the issues plaguing launch day in Walt Disney World’s Beak & Barrel Bar ADRrrr Drop Day Debacle. The quick model of the story is that Disney IT was unprepared for the sky-high demand, and the complete Advance Eating Reservation system crashed and went into upkeep mode for a few hours.
Fortunately, Walt Disney World obtained that proper on the second go-round, implementing a digital queue that higher pulsed demand. Even so, over two full months of reservations booked up inside minutes. Many company have been nonetheless unable to attain ADRs for his or her desired dates, however at the least the system was honest and never as irritating. Those that obtained shut out would possibly disagree with that evaluation, however there’s no good resolution when there’s this excessive of a supply-demand imbalance.
In any case, this additional reinforces how a lot Walt Disney World followers have been anxiously awaiting the Beak & Barrel Bar. We absolutely count on this to be one of many only a few Advance Eating Reservations at Walt Disney World that is still extremely aggressive, and virtually requires reserving 60+10 days out. It received’t simply be the launch day that’s a problem; it’ll be each morning ADRs go stay for the foreseeable future.
Earlier than we begin the photograph tour, listed below are some necessary insurance policies & protocol for Beak & Barrel:
Pirates (Bar) Code
Eat, drink and be entertained at The Beak and Barrel, a welcoming haven for all pirate-kind. Seize a fast chunk and quench your thirst. The menu options tasty choices for pirates of all ages—in addition to refreshing cocktails for Company ages 21 and up. Examine again later for menu particulars. That is Walt Disney World’s method of claiming that, in contrast to GEO-82, youngsters shall be allowed at Beak and Barrel.
Advance Eating Reservations are strongly really useful. As a result of house is extraordinarily restricted, the Beak and Barrel is proscribed to 45 minutes per social gathering. As you’re seemingly conscious, Walt Disney World way back crossed the rubicon with alcohol in Magic Kingdom. It had solely been in desk service eating places, and restricted to a two drink most, till now. It is a lounge, so not fairly the identical, however we’d count on the drink restrict to persist-in addition to the 45 minute keep restrict. Guidelines on prime of guidelines! And in contrast to the Pirate Code, these guidelines are extra what you’d name guidelines than tips.
All of this positions the Beak and Barrel as a Magic Kingdom and pirates-themed counterpart to Oga’s Cantina at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That Star Wars bar has the same time constraint as a result of house, and for a lot of company, it’s a one and accomplished as a result of rushed nature of the expertise. We hope that’s beginning to change over at Oga’s Cantina, however needless to say it’s taken over 5 years for demand to die down there. Beak and Barrel would possibly show much more well-liked given its location in Magic Kingdom and doubtlessly extra interesting theme.
Beak & Barrel Backstory
The Beak and Barrel bar extends the story of Pirates of the Caribbean. Established by the legendary pirate rumrunner, Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn, and her talkative first mate, Rummy, this vigorous pirate pub will quickly welcome bandits and buccaneers of all ages from each nook of the seven seas. The Beak and Barrel is a haven for all pirate-kind—from seasoned scoundrels to small swashbucklers. Whilst you sip and snack, you’ll be immersed within the Tortuga world by means of sing-alongs, storytelling and surprises.
As Merry’s trusted companion and first mate, Rummy serves because the tavern’s quartermaster keeping track of the place from his roost excessive atop the bar. Though retired from seafaring life, Rummy is a dutiful crewman to his beloved Merry, making certain all the things is ship-shape, sharing tales of piracy and main the bar in a rousing toast or two.
Eagle-eyed Disney followers might discover that Rummy bears a placing resemblance to the unique Barker Hen, also referred to as Peg-Leg Pete, that beforehand sat on the entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean however flew the coop a while in the past. The Barker Hen was an Audio-Animatronics determine stationed outdoors the doorway to the attraction that, as its title suggests, was a ‘barker’ who used strains and lyrics to draw visitor consideration.
The Barker Hen was eliminated in 2006 through the trip reimagining that added Jack Sparrow and different parts from the hit movie franchise. The Audio Animatronics determine’s return has been rumored many instances through the years, but it surely’s lastly occurring (albeit as a more recent and presumably modernized AA). The brand new Barker Hen will make his triumphant return to Pirates of the Caribbean when the Beak & Barrel opens!
With that background out of the way in which, on with the photograph tour from our media preview of the Beak & Barrel. Because the house is at present a bit full, I wasn’t in a position to seize empty bar images (or a tripod for low mild photographs), and as an alternative will use the inventory pictures supplied by Walt Disney World, together with descriptions of every house adopted by my very own sequence of 60+ element photographs.
The Mess
The biggest and central house at The Beak and Barrel was as soon as the mess corridor for Spanish troopers and is now identified appropriately as “The Mess.” It’s since been claimed and repurposed by a crafty crew of pirates. Be sure you lookup as ye enter to see a ship’s bell. Rumor has it this bell was from Captain Redd’s first ship gifted to Merry on the tavern’s founding.
Lengthy tables span the room, permitting for pirates to collect ‘spherical and inform their very own tales, whereas an imposing anchor lined in candles and dripping wax hangs excessive above. These tables supply communal seating within the Mess, that means you’ll be seated alongside buccaneer from different ports of name–however at the least you’ll have a chair with a correct again right here.
On the far finish of the room, the darkish nook generally known as The Brig nonetheless bears the bars and framework of its previous life – although the door rests close by, pried off its hinges way back.
Cursed Bar
Brimming with a formidable assortment of uncommon bottles and prized spoils saved behind lock and key, the large skull-shaped bar – anchored to the facet of The Mess – is the eye-catcher of the house and has heard many, many shanties sung in its shadow.
At its coronary heart rests the Enchanted Rum Bottle, an ornate bottle of grog, which sits in a spot of honor in its personal particular cove. Gifted by a strong enchantress, the tavern’s barrels and the pirates’ cheer won’t ever run dry so long as the bottle stays full. Let’s hope ye received’t be left asking, “Why is the rum gone?”
Perched atop the bar, Rummy welcomes patrons and retains an eye fixed on the crew, fast with a narrative, joke, or tune because the Audio Animatronics determine wobbles out from his important roost within the hole of the cranium’s eye.
Mapmaker’s Room
Approaching the doorway to this room, company will discover cannonball injury within the partitions, with the backstory being that the pirates needed to blast their method into the previously-locked Mapmaker’s Room. Cleansing up after themselves apparently violates the Pirate Code, so there’s injury, destruction, and even cannonballs nonetheless smashed into the partitions.
The Mapmaker’s Room is stuffed to the brim with rolled up maps, items of parchment, spilled ink and plenty of treasured secrets and techniques that belonged to a crazed pirate cartographer. The Madvert Mapmaker, if you’ll.
On the facet wall is a big painted map of the identified pirating world, with many pirating secrets and techniques to be found. Within the center is a sprawling worktable the place the Mapmaker would have unfold out his instruments and set to work. Be aware that this worktable standing room solely, that means that the Mapmaker’s Room is a shared ‘leaning house.’ Could need to keep away from this one, if in any respect doable.

Nevertheless, the effective art work and material hasn’t escaped slashing blades or burn marks through the years by rambunctious pirates, and in some locations, light spots on the wall are all that is still of now plundered portraits.
Above the fireside are mounted 5 miniature ships in glass bottles, rumored to characterize pirates from each nook of the world banding collectively to defeat tyranny.
