Overview
- Disneyland’s app and website updates Monday confirm Pirates of the Caribbean and Blue Bayou will close for refurbishment starting May 4, with May 3 as the last day of operation.
- Blue Bayou is tentatively set to return in late May with a modified dining experience because views into the ride will be blocked and construction noise may be heard.
- Disney has not given a reopening date for the ride, and multiple outlets report the downtime could extend into June.
- Permit documents shared by Theme Park IQ detail service ladders at scene seven, improved rockwork plus new projectors and speakers at scene eleven, cabinet replacements near scene seventeen, and electrical and mechanical enhancements throughout.
- Port Royal Curios and Curiosities has disappeared from the park map without explanation, and overlapping closures like Jungle Cruise, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin and the Monorail could complicate guest plans.
