Overview

• Disney confirms the Pirates of the Caribbean–themed lounge opens August 29, with online calendars showing little to no availability weeks after reservations reopened.
• Initial Aug. 14 booking crashed Disney’s system, then the Aug. 20 relaunch sold out quickly, with some outlets reporting availability gone within about one to two hours.
• The experience features Rummy, an Audio-Animatronics parrot who interacts with guests and leads periodic sing-alongs, recurring show moments every 7–8 minutes, and five distinct spaces including The Mess and the Cursed Bar.
• Visits are reservation-only with a 45-minute limit and a maximum of two alcoholic drinks per guest, bookings open up to 60 days in advance and typically appear at 6 a.m. ET.
• The lounge is all ages with alcohol service limited to guests 21 and older with valid ID, and early attendees praised the detailed theming and atmosphere in media previews.
