Ahoy, sailors! We’ve been on choppy waters lately, toiling away on the My Disney Experience website in hopes of securing a Beak and Barrel (the new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern) reservation in Magic Kingdom. Let’s just say the experience of securing reservations was NOT smooth sailing….

In fact, the first day that reservations opened to book, August 20th, reservations quickly booked up for September AND October. Here’s what we’re seeing.
The Beak and Barrel restaurant in Magic Kingdom is one of the most highly anticipated lounges in all of Disney World. Reservations were set to open earlier this summer, but the date was changed due to technical difficulties.

Well, finally, reservations opened on August 20th at 7 PM (which is highly unusual; most Disney reservations open in the morning). Those hoping to secure a reservation were placed in a virtual queue.

By 7:30 PM, an entire MONTH of reservations (plus August 29th–31st) was sold out.

October dates quickly started to disappear, too, though we noticed that after tweaking the party size and date range, the availability changed. Keep trying — don’t give up the ship!

We have a feeling that The Beak and Barrel availability could change as we get closer to September. If you were not able to score a reservation, check back often. You never know when someone else might cancel their reservation or change their plans!

This family-friendly lounge will feature “tasty options for pirates of all ages — as well as refreshing cocktails for Guests ages 21 and up.” You can check out the FULL menu (with photos) below!
