Yo ho ho and a barrel of…Christmas cheer? Disney just announced that reservations for the brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean–themed lounge, The Beak and Barrel, will be opening soon for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party nights at Magic Kingdom.
The Beak and Barrel officially sets sail on Friday, August 29, 2025, and will operate during regular park hours as well as during after-hours events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This swashbuckling new watering hole takes over the former Pirates League space, which closed in 2020, and transforms it into a cozy hideaway dripping in pirate charm.
Here’s how reservations will work for the holiday party: Disney Resort hotel guests can snag their spots beginning September 3, with booking available for their entire length of stay (up to 10 nights) up to 60 days out. All other guests will get their shot starting September 8.
Inside, guests will have 45 minutes to sip and snack, just like at Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The bar’s central gathering spot, “The Mess,” is overseen by Rummy — a colorful parrot and first mate to Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn. Rummy’s not just for show; he’ll be chatting with patrons, spinning salty sea tales, and even leading rousing toasts. Those who explore further can duck into the Captain’s Quarters, where miniature bottled ships magically come to life and engage in epic battles.

Of course, a Pirates lounge wouldn’t be complete without plunder — The Beak and Barrel will feature themed merchandise, including plush parrots to take home, and a menu packed with bites and beverages worthy of the Seven Seas.
It’s the perfect holiday hideout for buccaneers who want to trade cookies and cocoa for grog and good cheer this Christmas season.
