Surprising Update for Disney's Boardwalk Closure
Guests of Disney's Boardwalk Inn are now alerted of this recent change. Will this affect your trip?
Two Big Boardwalk Changes
Disney's Boardwalk will have 2 big changes this year. One of the most iconic locations for guests over 21 at Disney's BoardWalk was Jellyrolls. Sadly, this dueling piano bar closed in 2025.
A brand-new lounge, Hurly-Burly, will open in this former Jellyrolls building. The best part is that Hurly-Burly will be welcoming to Guests, both young and young at heart. See full details HERE.
We love the Basin stores located throughout Walt Disney World Resort, and now Basin will open a brand-new shopping experience at Disney's BoardWalk. Along with its great product line, Basin on the BoardWalk will offer brand-new interactive experiences.
Disney's BoardWalk Resorts
Both of these new experiences are expected to open in late 2026. Disney offers a variety of resort options to best fit each guest's needs and price points.
Resorts on or near Crescent Lake are some of the most popular places to stay. These include: Beach Club, Yacht Club, Boardwalk, Swan, Swan Reserve, and Dolphin. Each of these resorts is uniquely themed and gives guests impressive perks.
Guests can take a short walk to EPCOT. And you can take a little longer walk to Hollywood Studios or take a leisure boat ride to either park. Exiting the park at International Gateway and walking back after a long day in the park is amazing! No fighting crowds for the buses or monorail!
Disney's BoardWalk Inn Closure
Starting August 10, 2026, Disney's BoardWalk Inn Village Green Courtyard closed for a short refurbishment, with an expected reopening date of September 4, 2026.

Disney's BoardWalk Inn Village Green Courtyard is now open to Guests.
Movie Under the Stars and outdoor yoga return to this space starting today.
