New Flooring Installed as Construction Work Continues at Tortuga Tavern in Magic Kingdom

Construction work is still underway at Tortuga Tavern as Disney works to replace the flooring of the quick-service restaurant.

During our last update, we reported on the flooring being removed from the last remaining section of Tortuga Tavern. There was also a section of new flooring that had been covered with a painted board for unknown reasons.

A wet outdoor floor with red brick and gray stone tiles, separated by a rope barrier.

Part of the board has been removed from around the poles revealing the red brick once more.

It appears that some work has been done on the area of the red brick as there are loose pieces of red rubble atop the brick and the board.

Rope tied around wooden posts on a brick and stone patio with nearby tables and greenery.

The area remains roped off from guests as Disney continues to work on the flooring.

New brick flooring has been laid in the area. The surrounding poles remain covered with plastic and red tape.

Tortuga Tavern typically operates seasonally and has been closed since June 2024. A reopening date has yet to be announced.

Across the way from Tortuga Tavern, construction work continues on the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge.

Construction walls remain in place as Disney works to transform the former Pirates League space.

Walt Disney Imagineering recently shared a behind-the-scenes look at the progress of the lounge and spoke on what to expect when the space finally opens later this year. The new lounge will “welcome pirates of all ages with a sea-worthy selection of grogs and grub, and strike me colors, there may be more than a few mysterious surprises in store!”
