Would you like Tortuga Tavern in Magic Kingdom to be turned into Captain Jack's - Pirate Restaurant (like in Disneyland Paris)? In other words, a sit down restaurant with characters instead of a quick service.

Menus from both places to compare:

I wouldn’t mind it, really! I’ve always thought that Pirates was a popular enough ride/movie franchise to justify giving it a restaurant

If turning it into a restaurant means it will be open all the time, then sure.

It should become a real tavern since Pirates like a good drink.

It wouldn't be quite as good, since it wouldn't overlook the ride, but I'd love a good Pirates themed restaurant. I don't think the one in DLP has characters, either.

There is not a lot of character dinning in Magic kingdom . Would be pretty cool

Thanks for the responses so far.

Pictures from Captain Jack’s look good, both the restaurant and food pictures. That would be an interesting restaurant at MK that I would definitely want to try. Great theming!

Anything that you do to it to have it be open is an improvement. In all the years we have gone to WDW, I think I have seen the restaurant in that space open once or twice.
Have never tried the current version as its always closed. Used their tables for overflow from Pecos Bills last October.

At least in the "Before Times," at DLP, Captain Jack makes his way around the dining room for photo ops and brief interactions with all the tables. So not a character meal by WDW standards, but more interaction than I was expecting! The meal was great too.

That would be awesome! It would take a restaurant that seems to be rarely open, to one where you must go to!

I wouldn't mind it. It would ( could ) also mean that it was open more often. We tend to go during off season so it's rarely open as it is now when we're there. I think it's be a good addition.

I would like the non character old Captain Jack's at Disney Springs back!
