Overview
- Disneyland confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean and the Blue Bayou Restaurant will be unavailable starting May 4, 2026 for refurbishment.
- Blue Bayou has a tentative late May return, while Disneyland has not announced a reopening date for Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Permit filings reported by Theme Park IQ detail new service ladders in Scene 7, rockwork plus new projectors and speakers in Scene 11, and cabinetry replacement near Scene 17.
- The same filings list a raised grated platform with new access steps over conduit plus broader electrical and mechanical upgrades across the attraction.
