Disney Park Refurbishments
Refurbishments are a part of life at Disney Parks. These may take place for various reasons. Whether it be for mechanical issues or cosmetic updates, a refurbishment can take place for many reasons.
Based on the nature of the work, the refurbishment may take a few days or several months. When possible, Disney will try to complete work while the attraction remains operational.
Unfortunately, a rather extensive refurbishment will soon affect Pirates of the Caribbean.
Pirates of the Caribbean Closure
The first Pirates of the Caribbean attraction opened at Disneyland Park in 1967. It was one of the last attractions Walt personally oversaw the creation of in the 1960s.
It remains one of the most immersive attractions ever created for a theme park! Guests can even dine at the Blue Bayou overlooking the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction while enjoying delicious bayou cuisine.
Both Pirates of the Caribbean and the Blue Bayou are set to close for refurbishment on May 4, 2026, at Disneyland.
Pirates of the Caribbean Closed Indefinitely
The Blue Bayou will reopen "in late May". Guests are advised that the restaurant will offer a modified dining experience while Pirates of the Caribbean is also under refurbishment.
Pirates of the Caribbean closes May 4, 2026, with no reopening date.
The views throughout the Blue Bayou will be obstructed, and refurbishment noise may be heard. At this time, Disneyland has not announced a reopening date for Pirates of the Caribbean yet.
