Disney announced a new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern at Destination D23 last year. The new lounge space will expand the attraction’s story and include Peg-Leg Pete, a.k.a. the Barker Bird. The character greeted guests at the ride’s entrance from 1973 to 2006. Further details — including a location — have not been announced, but Tortuga Tavern may be closed to be turned into the new tavern.
