Disney's BoardWalk Sets Opening Date for New Entertainment Venue

Disney fans have been saying for quite some time that the theming that once made Walt Disney World unique is being replaced with bland, generic alternatives. Is this new entertainment and dining coming to Disney's Boardwalk, true Disney magic or a big fail?

Disney's Boardwalk

Disney's BoardWalk offers a great resort along with a unique boardwalk vibe. The real stars of Disney's BoardWalk are the entertainers. Guests can enjoy great entertainers performing magic tricks, acrobatics, and even juggling just to name a few of the acts.

Even if you are not staying near the Boardwalk, this is a great location to enjoy fun theming and free entertainment with just a short walk outside of EPCOT.

One of the most iconic locations for guests over 21 at the BoardWalk was Jellyrolls. Sadly, this dueling piano bar closed in 2025. In June, Disney just announced that 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. Disney shares, "During the afternoon, guests can drop by for family-friendly activities like trivia and other games led by a charismatic host."

"By night (beginning at 9 pm) Hurly-Burly will transition into a live music venue, welcoming guests 21-and-over to unwind with classic, coastal-inspired cocktails and tasty light bites, while enjoying a variety of musical entertainment that perfectly complements the BoardWalk's other unique offerings."
