Pirate’s Rehab Adventure

Friday, April 1st, 2011

 Today is officially (i.e. based on the resort’s published rehab schedule) the last day for the closure of the signature attraction of Adventureland: Pirates of Caribbean. During the course of the nearly one month long rehab the exterior and the interior of the attraction got spruced up. For example in the photo on the right (taken on March 25th) in front of one of the masts holding up the shade cover for the outdoor queue the device can be spotted used by the workers to repaint it.

During the rehab the Blue Lagoon restaurant (located in the same structure) as well as the shop between the restaurant and the attraction’s exit remained closed as well and the access to the courtyard in front of them was blocked by the extensive construction fences along the main walkway.

Interestingly the visits of Jack Sparrow to the pirates’ section of the Disney Blockbuster Cafe have been stopped as well.  The picture at the Disneyland Park is slightly different though… (more…)

Chairs in Front of AgrabahSince 1992 the Disneyland Resort Paris is offering guests a unique choice of high quality table service restaurants (and buffet restaurants) not only in the Disney hotels and the Disney Village but also in the Disneyland Park itself offering a relaxing quality atmosphere for lunch and dinner. After initial problems to fill the seats in the early days guests in the past years frequently had to be turned away at the restaurants if they showed up without a reservation. However, it seems the situation is changing again – not surprising considering the overal economic climate.

Blue Lagoon 0906In reaction The Silver Spur Steakhouse, The Blue Lagoon (historical the most popular of the table service restaurants in the park) and Walt’s are offering an “Express Menu” for lunch consisting of two courses priced at 19.90 Euro per adult with the promise to serve it in 40 minutes (so also to attract one day guests who may be afraid to miss some of the park’s attractions if they spend time in the table service restaurants).

One location that seems unaffected so far seems to be the Agrabah Café in Adventureland, which in a surprise move closed off the small courtyard from the main walkway with a themed fence and seems to have prepared (more…)
