Disneyland shared with us at Mickey Visit that workers tending to the Pirates of the Caribbean closure spent time upkeeping and enhancing the ride’s rockwork and lighting, as well as the animation of the Audio-Animatronics figures.

Now, we have received news that Pirates of the Caribbean will reopen at Disneyland on June 26, 2026.

In tandem with the Pirates of the Caribbean closure, Disney also closed Blue Bayou Restaurant. The table service restaurant’s dining room overlooks the swamp scene toward the beginning of the ride. Blue Bayou Restaurant reopened on May 21, but construction walls still obstructed its view of Pirates of the Caribbean.
