Bats Allegedly Disrupting Pirates of the Caribbean Ride at Magic Kingdom

“Persistent Bat Presence Disrupts Pirates of the Caribbean Ride at Magic Kingdom

In recent weeks, the presence of live bats within the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Magic Kingdom has caused ongoing disruptions, resulting in temporary closures lasting from 15 minutes to several hours.

Bats in Adventureland Bats have been a familiar sight in Adventureland, even seen flying around the Adventureland/Frontierland area in September 2022. The Pirates of the Caribbean building is known to house bats, and this August, these creatures have caused significant issues.

Reportedly, ropes have been placed in the breezeway near Pirates of the Caribbean to address the bat problem, affecting the operation of the Crystal Arts kiosk in the vicinity. Observations reveal baby bats, or pups, resting in the rafters during daylight hours.

However, the bats are causing more than just a resting presence. Instances of bats flying close to guests and Cast Members inside the ride have been reported, and there have been incidents where dead bats have fallen in front of guests. To ensure safety, the ride has been temporarily closed after such incidents, leading to considerable downtime.

Bats are most active during this time of year, while hibernating during winter and giving birth in the summer before entering their mating season.

Protected by law, bats cannot be harmed or killed in Florida. For their removal, Disney would need authorization from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which becomes complex when dealing with baby bats. With the official end of maternity season on August 14, Disney might now be able to obtain a permit for the bats’ safe removal.

During previous years’ Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party events, live actors were part of Pirates of the Caribbean. This year, they can be found in Adventureland, possibly due to the bat presence in the ride. Additionally, the Rusty Cutlass pirate band is performing in Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.”
