For the entire time we were at Disney in November, Blackbeard and his "smoke" were not part of the Pirates attraction. We heard from another guest (probably not true) that someone had to come from Europe to fix him because of the special technology. So......

is Blackbeard back yet?
 
I'm not sure on this, and it's just an idea I've come up with over the last few trips. I think Blackbeard is gone since they added the mermaids that swim along side the boat. I'm assuming that Blackbeard wasn't in the latest movie, but the mermaids were, and they wanted to keep it up to date.
 

I guess I'm way behind... This is the first I've heard of the mermaids !!! I can't wait to see that in person this October !!!
 
The Blackbeard fog curtain is pretty glitchy. Can be there one moment and gone the next. If it's gone for a few days it doesn't necessarily mean anything...still could be back at any time.

Don't get too excited. The effect is pretty underwhelming, just some swirls and lights in the water, and they've added a mermaid skeleton to the beach.
 
Blackbeard was there two of the three times we rode POTC in February (13th 23rd) the mermaids are heard chanting but all u see in the water is a flashlight beam. Overall, Pirates seems to hold up well. And I never notice it down for refurb.
 
Thank you all for the help!! I definitely hope to see him next time we go!!!
