Tortuga Tavern Transforms into ‘Tortuga Treasures’ at Magic Kingdom
The former Tortuga Tavern at Magic Kingdom has undergone a temporary makeover, reopening as “Tortuga Treasures,” a pirate-themed gift shop. This change comes after Tortuga Tavern closed indefinitely on June 7, 2024.

While much of the original Tortuga Tavern theming remains, the menu board has been replaced with a pirate map graphic, and the former quick-service meal payment area now serves as the gift shop’s checkout counters.
The shop offers a wide array of pirate-themed merchandise, most of which was previously available at Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar, the gift shop located at the exit of Pirates of the Caribbean.
The interior seating area of Tortuga Treasures remains intact, providing guests with a space to relax and enjoy any snacks or refreshments they may have purchased.
Meanwhile, Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar is currently closed for refurbishment, with black scrim covering sections of what were once merchandise displays. The entrance to the former Pirates League transformation experience is also roped off, as it has remained closed since the park’s temporary shutdown in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Disney previously announced at Destination D23 in 2023 that a new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge would be coming to Magic Kingdom. This new offering aims to expand the story of the attraction and will feature the return of Peg-Leg Pete, the beloved animatronic barker bird that once welcomed guests to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Although the exact location of the new lounge has not been officially confirmed, it is speculated to be situated in this area. Visitors are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates as construction progresses and refurbishment continues in this area.
I am sure we will get more news on the Pirates-themed Tavern/Lounge at the D23 Expo this weekend so stay tuned!
