Pirates of the Caribbean Beach Resort

[Blood on the saddle]

Wasn't on all weeked so I don't know if this was posted or discussed. From Mickey News:

Walt Disney World has unveiled a rendering and a few details of some retheming and renovations in the works for Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort -- theming it after the hugely-popular Pirates of the Caribbean ride/movies/games franchise.
Beds that look like ships. Dressers that look like old crates. Curtains that look like tattered sails. The attached artist's rendering shows a few of the details.

Disney is planning the look for 384 rooms in the Trinidad South Village Area, set to be ready sometime next year. The resort has a total of 2,112 rooms.

Disney also announced a revised Magic Your Way plan. For fixed price per day, guests can add a Quick Service Dining starting Jan. 11, 2009. The package offers two quick service meals and two snacks for each night of stay, as well as a refillable drink mug for unlimited refills of non-alcoholic beverages at Disney resort hotels.

Clients who book through Walt Disney Travel Co. also will receive a new benefit -- 30 minute play-cards for Disney's resort hotel video arcades.

Is there a link to some of the drawings of what the rooms will look like?

Apparently Micky News' source was the Orlando Sentinel:

Although I think it is a cool theme I find it highly odd considering the last movie was so long ago and there are currently no plans of another POC movie in the works, plus I have heard that they are scaling back and discontinuing alot of their pirate merchandise having it limited to just what is in connection with the ride's gift shop.

I like the look and I like the movies but I like the way the CBR looks as is.

Sounds intersting. More kid oriented I believe. I guess Disney is not too sure about it either since it will only be put in one section of the CBR. Thanks for sharing.pirate:
