I am guessing they will be the same burritos that are at Tortuga Tavern. I got one from there in August and it was actually pretty good. Having them offered year round and not having to rely on Tortuga rarely being open will be nice.

I really hope they are bringing the taco salad back if they are going the Chipotle route.

Seeing lots of very positive posts about the Pirates refurb which had another soft opening today. Official opening is tomorrow.

Hopefully they can maintain the ride in this condition now.

Glad to hear about Pirates' current state. I've seen some really positive comments as well. Now they just have to re-do Space Mountain, clean up Buzz and spruce up a little bit the rest.

Anything new? Or just the old stuff working correctly now?

Space not yet but Buzz should be getting love early next year.

Anyone know if there's a thread on dis here (or anywhere online, for that matter) that gives updates on refurb dates for rides, pools, resorts, restaurants, etc.?

@Limes96 The place I know that's the best listing is here on the DIS - not a thread but just a page:

That page is great, but I'm more interested in the "future" HS shutdowns, etc. Since it's all just "in the works" right now, I doubt there are any hard and fast dates, but it would be great to know for our trip in April...

Latest thing I heard Star Wars weekends will not happen this year. If it does happen this year it's likely the following year is then the last.

So you want a page listing RUMORS of shutdowns? I can't say that I know of such a thing exists. If you had a page of HS rumored shutdowns, it would include practically everything in the park. That park is pretty much a "no-one knows" or "no-one is saying". The only certainty I would say is One Man's Dream and probably VOyage of the Little Mermaid, but again when is anybody's guess. Could be next week, after the first of the year, or a year from now.

As I've pointed out before, the rumor mill rarely gets the details right. Did anyone hear anything about the DLRR/RoA/Fantasmic! shutdown for a year ahead of time? I didn't see it posted anywhere!

In the end, you need to just plan your trip, and not worry about what will be open and what won't. Unless you want to schedule a trip for 2021. They'll probably have everything open for that!

Actually this site does a pretty good job compiling things like that.

That IS a good site - but reading the DHS site it DOES make it sound like practically everything is scheduled to close soon - which probably isn't the case.

That is true but it is only going to get worse before it gets better.
