Port Royal Curios and Curiosities Shop to Become Seating Area in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square

Formerly selling Haunted Mansion merchandise, Port Royal will become a much-needed seating area for the Royal Street Veranda.

More changes are coming to New Orleans Square at Disneyland as a former store is set to be turned into a seating area for guests.

What’s Happening:

The Port Royal Curios and Curiosities Shop in New Orleans Square, which has previously served as a Haunted Mansion gift shop, will be turned into a seating area when it reopens.
Located right next to the Royal Street Veranda, this location will now serve as a seating area for that dining location, which currently has minimal seating available.
With the recent opening of Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond Gift Shop outside The Haunted Mansion itself, Port Royal is no longer needed as a merchandise space.
The nearby and connected Pieces of Eight store will continue to operate and offer guests plenty of Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise.
Our friends over at Mickey Visit theorize that this move could be the first step in a plan to reroute the Pirates of the Caribbean queue, which quite often spills into the streets of New Orleans Square – in a move similar to the recently remodeled Haunted Mansion queue.
If this were to happen, it would require the removal of all the stores on that side of the street in addition to the Royal Street Veranda.
