  • New Disney Park in Abu Dhabi Announced

    New Disney Park in Abu Dhabi Announced
    May 16 2025
    In this week's episode, Peter and Sue give their take on recent Disney news, including the new park coming to Abu Dhabi, new details on the tavern coming to Adventureland, and more! N162 My DVC Points is proudly sponsored by: DVC Resale Market - Industry Leader in DVC Resales DVC Rental Store - DVC Point Rentals Monera Financial - Exclusively Financing DVC Contracts Patreon supporters in the My DVC Points VIP Producer Club. Disney announces new park in Abu Dhabi In what may be the biggest Disney announcement in recent years, on May 7th Disney announced a seventh global resort in Abu Dhabi on YAS Island, where several other theme park resorts are already located. The resort is in conjunction with and wholly paid for by Miral, a local Abu Dhabi company, and designed by Disney Imagineering. This will be the second park fully financed by another company after Tokyo Disneyland, which is owned by the Oriental Land Company. It is expected that the park will be open in about 5 years. Source: Walt Disney Company, CNN Details on new Pirate Tavern in Adventureland announced Disney has release some details of the upcoming tavern that will open later this year. The tavern is called The Beak and Barrel and per Disney, was established by a pirate rumrunner, Captain Meridian “Merry” Goldwyn, and her talkative first mate, Rummy. Rummy appears to be an animatronic parrot that will greet guests in the main mess hall. There will also be an enchanted Rum Bottle that serves as the source of the taverns brews. A second room is called “The Captain’s Quarters” and will also have some magical bottles that may come to life as well, seemingly inspired by the Adventurer’s Club. Alcoholic drinks will be served but limited to two per customer and no carry-out allowed. In addition, the guest experience is listed as a 45-minute time-cycle experience. No word on whether the bar will wholly refresh every 45 minutes with guests, but that seems unlikely. Reservations will begin on June 12th for resort guests, and to the general public June 16th.
