Heads up: Walt Disney World has been releasing new batches of Beak & Barrel Bar Advance Eating Reservations. This covers the newest information, and how one can take benefit to attain elusive ADRs for the brand new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom.
Let’s begin with fast Beak & Barrel Bar fundamentals. At this tavern, visitors are immersed in an journey throughout the Seven Seas with nods to each the basic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and fan-favorite movies. As you be part of the pirate enjoyable, you’ll get pleasure from thirst-quenching tropical drinks, scrumptious small bites, sing-alongs, storytelling, and enchanting surprises.
The Beak and Barrel Bar is now open in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom, proper exterior the exit to Pirates of the Caribbean. The tavern opens at 10 am throughout each day operations, and closes with the park (10 pm or 11 pm) on regular nights and 6:55 pm on social gathering nights. For laborious ticket occasion visitors, it’s additionally open throughout each Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Social gathering. Advance Eating Reservations are actually bookable for the entire above, a minimum of in principle.
In reality, Beak & Barrel is sort of impossibly tough to ebook. Advance Eating Reservations promote out 60+ days forward of time, and simply perusing the supply calendar reveals a sea of offered out dates between now and mid-November. At current, there isn’t a single date with reservations obtainable for any social gathering dimension as far out because the calendar goes.
That is frequent, and a pointy distinction to 98% of eating places at Walt Disney World, that are a sea of inexperienced on the supply calendars. Right here’s a have a look at the present calendar for Beak & Barrel:
Friday afternoon, this calendar seemed very completely different. Walt Disney World replenished ADR availability throughout the board, and virtually each date had availability. I do know this as a result of I bought an alert, indicating the dates I’ve been “stalking” so Sarah (and Megatron) can see the tavern for his or her first time, had been now obtainable. That is the second time in as many weeks that this has occurred.
Sadly, by the point I had an opportunity to write down a submit with availability heads up, it was shortly disappearing. And I figured that by the point I hit “publish,” the submit would already be out of date. So right here I’m, nonetheless writing about it, however with extra of a ‘educating you methods to fish’ angle so you may put together and take benefit the subsequent time this inevitably occurs.
This will likely be good data to have, as Walt Disney World followers have been anxiously awaiting the Beak & Barrel Bar for some time, and we don’t count on demand to die down in 2026. Beak & Barrel will likely be one of many only a few Advance Eating Reservations at Walt Disney World that continues to be extremely aggressive, and virtually requires reserving 60+ days out for the subsequent year-plus. Each morning ADRs go dwell for the foreseeable future will likely be a check of visitors’ quick fingers and web connection speeds.
Beak & Barrel ADR Competitiveness
Our expectation is that Beak & Barrel Bar ADRs will stay aggressive, quickly exceeding GEO-82 and even Oga’s Cantina when that Star Wars bar first opened. It’s an ideal storm of sky-high demand colliding with restricted provide and a enjoyable lounge that’s rather well performed.
That is more likely to be the case as a result of “tavern themed to Pirates of the Caribbean” is a extra fascinating and enticing idea to each Walt Disney World followers and informal audiences, and as a result of it is a family-friendly lounge in Magic Kingdom.
On steadiness, it’s our expectation that Beak & Barrel is the #1 most tough ADR for years to come back. Demand for Oga’s Cantina has simply began to chill, and that opened again in 2019. So if you need “simpler” Beak & Barrel ADRs, test again in 2028.
Proper now, there’s additionally the sensible actuality that Beak & Barrel Bar continues to be discovering its footing. That is exactly why Walt Disney World is releasing batches of ADRs within the first place. They erred on the aspect of warning initially, providing a conservative variety of reservations. From a visitor satisfaction perspective, it’s higher to have empty tables than to show visitors away with reservations as a result of they provided too many.
(To cite the clever phrases of Seinfeld: “You know the way to *take* the reservation, you simply don’t know methods to *maintain* the reservation. And that’s actually a very powerful a part of the reservation: the holding. Anyone can simply take them.”)
As the situation features extra operational expertise, Disney will likely be comfy releasing extra reservations. This really already occurs with all Walt Disney World eating places. A conservative variety of ADRs are provided 60+ days out, after which extra are launched as dates draw nearer as workers is scheduled and different logistics are set. (That is why it may well appear like ADRs are nonetheless aggressive ~60 days out, when in actuality, they get rather a lot simpler a few weeks out.) Most different eating places even have Stroll-Up Waitlist as a requirement lever, which Beak & Barrel doesn’t.
Ideas & Methods for Pillaging ADRs
For starters, if you happen to can’t discover something in your desired dates, strive refreshing or adjusting your parameters within the My Disney Expertise app. In the event you’re not having success, strive some methods from our Prime 10 Ideas for Laborious to E-book Advance Eating Reservations at Walt Disney World.
Listed here are extra particular suggestions for reserving Beak & Barrel if you happen to’re looking for availability on the 60+ day mark every morning, adopted by the large one for locating ‘pop-up’ ADR availability:
A number of Gadgets, Laptop Precedence
Earlier than ADRs go dwell, my sturdy recommendation is to login to disneyworld.com in your pc and the My Disney Expertise app. Certain, this all goes down on the morning time, so there could be the sturdy temptation to do that all whereas mendacity in mattress. However there are few higher methods to chop your enamel on the Walt Disney World planning machine than by establishing a veritable command heart, prepared for each contingency.
In the event you’re actually critical, go into personal shopping, login, and open a brand new tab for Beak & Barrel. If one thing goes flawed–and let’s be actual, that is Disney IT, so one thing in all probability will–swap over to the My Disney Expertise app or a unique machine and maintain rolling.
E-book “Backwards”
If in case you have an on-site keep that’s over 60 days upfront, it’s best to use this perk to your benefit to scale back the competitors. The very best strategy is to place Beak & Barrel as far out past 60 days as attainable, as you gained’t should compete with locals and off-site visitors for these dates.
That is particularly advantageous is you could have a visit that’s per week or longer. With every day nearer to the tip of the +10 restrict, the pool of eligible visitors to ebook that date is diminished. Consequently, reserving for these dates ought to, in principle, be simpler. Beak & Barrel goes to be extremely aggressive, so it might not really feel simpler, however will probably be. (Notice that this similar technique applies to Lightning Lane pre-arrival availability and, clearly, different ADRs.)
Use A Notification Service
In the event you strike out on the 60 day mark, all hope will not be misplaced. There are a number of ADR finder companies, a few of that are free and a few of that are paid. These eating reservation finders notify you when an ADR you need turns into obtainable. It’s then as much as you to behave quick and get it reserved.
For the longest time, we resisted the temptation to make use of ADR notification companies. We talked about them in eating guides, saying it could be “a dereliction of responsibility to not a minimum of point out their existence.” However we didn’t use them ourselves as a result of they felt a bit unfair.
GEO-82 and Beak & Barrel lastly broke me. These two spots have so tough to ebook within 60 days (which is once we all the time do ADRs) to the purpose the place it looks like everybody scoring the ADR drops is utilizing notification companies.
What can I say–it’s just like the Steroid Period of the MLB; everyone seems to be juicing. You’re at a drawback with these ADRs if you happen to don’t use a notification service to stage the enjoying area. Or so I inform myself.
I take advantage of MouseDining. They’ve a number of subscription choices; I simply use the free tier. I’ve discovered that is adequate for my functions since there are solely 3-4 eating places (just about the 2 talked about right here, plus House 220 and one other wildcard in case I’m forgetting one thing). You would possibly favor the paid possibility if you need textual content message alerts, as time is of the essence with Beak & Barrel ADRs.
With that in thoughts, our sturdy suggestion could be to not pay for a reservation finder far forward of your journey or for a year-long subscription. Disney has shut different ADR finders down up to now, so don’t spend something you wouldn’t be upset about shedding if the service vanishes in a single day. We’d additionally solely suggest signing up if you happen to strike out on the 60-day mark and “want” notifications. Hopefully, you gained’t get thus far!
Failing All Else, Look Final Minute
With the large exception of newly-introduced eating, we seldom make ADRs far upfront. Previous to Beak & Barrel and GEO-82, it’s been some time since I made an ADR greater than 3 days upfront at Walt Disney World. Presumably when 1900 Park Fare reopened. Happily, many eating places will not be dropping all of their ADR availability ~60 days forward of time.
On high of every little thing else, many Walt Disney World guests hoard ADRs, and cancel their undesirable ones the evening earlier than and even a few hours previous to their meals to keep away from being penalized. Because of each of those realities, there’s normally pop-up last-minute ADR availability even for the preferred eating places.
The commonest occasions that we test for Advance Eating Reservations are between 9 pm and 11 pm the evening earlier than, in addition to round 10 am and a pair of pm same-day. I can’t depend what number of occasions I’ve seen nothing for a lot of eating places ~30 days upfront, solely to seek out quite a few choices for lunch and dinner launched the morning of or someday upfront. That is my handbook model of an ADR finder! It’s what I all the time did, to nice success, earlier than I made a decision to begin juicing.

I’ll have a evaluate of the brand new Walt Disney World eating possibility quickly.
