The Beak and Barrel Reservation Shipwreck: Reservations Not Setting Sail Today. Official word has just been released from the Walt Disney World Website that reservations have been pushed back for the grand opening of Disney World’s Newest lounge inside the Magic Kingdom, The Beak and Barrel. As of this writing, we do not have a rescheduled date.
Here is the official wording on the site:
Due to technical difficulties, reservations for Beak & Barrel will not launch today. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please check back for updates. Ahoy! Drop anchor and raise a toast at this spirited pirate tavern serving seaworthy sips and snacks for all ages.
Earlier, we reported: Guests of the new pirate-themed lounge, The Beak and Barrel, are experiencing significant frustration this morning as server issues are preventing them from securing reservations. The technical difficulties have marred the opening of the reservation window for the new lounge, which is set to debut at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom on August 29, 2025.
According to multiple reports from guests attempting to book, the Walt Disney World website and My Disney Experience app are displaying an error message that attributes the problem to “Hei Hei’s Fault.” The message, which reads “It might be Hei Hei’s Fault……that we’re having a system issue at this time. We’ll have it fixed soon, though, so please try again later,” is followed by other error screens such as “We’re Down for Maintenance!” or “We See-See-See There is a Problem.”
The widespread server crash is a direct result of the immense demand for the first-ever lounge of its kind in the Magic Kingdom. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the opening of The Beak and Barrel, and the 6:00 AM EST reservation release was met with a surge of traffic that the system appears to have been unable to handle.
