Attention all Disneylanders, we have some bad news.

Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle

Another ride closure will be hitting Disneyland, this time in New Orleans Square. Here’s everything we know.

The Disneyland app shows that Pirates of the Caribbean will be closing for refurbishment on May 4th. This ride is a true Disney gem that takes you back in time to the age of the pirates, and if you keep an eye out, you might even spot some familiar faces from the movie franchise!

We already know Disneyland fans will NOT be happy that this ride will be experiencing a closure. Especially, since it is one of many rides in both Disneyland and Disney World currently facing ride closures.

Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland

Between the ongoing closure at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and all the other construction in Disney World, to the Monorail and Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin closures in Disneyland, Disney fans on both coasts are definitely getting their fill of inconvenient closures and delays.

Plus, Pirates is not the only Disneyland favorite experiencing a closure.

On the Disneyland Website, it notes that the Blue Bayou Restaurant will also be closing on May 4th for refurbishment and has a tentative reopening sometime in late May. It’s possible that the reopening of Pirates could also follow this late May timeline, but Disney has not confirmed.

And if you’re planning a Disneyland trip, we highly recommend checking out the Blue Bayou Restaurant because it allows you to eat inside the ride! That’s right, you can eat your meal while watching the Pirates boats float on through. This restaurant should definitely be at the top of your Disneyland list!

It’s important to note that Disney confirmed Blue Bayou will have a modified dining experience when it reopens in late May. This is due to noise and obstructed views of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
