Posted: Thursday August 11, 2022 12:33pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

BoardWalk Deli is expected to open next week on Disney's BoardWalk, and crews are busy working on the exterior this week.


Signage is being changed, and the BoardWalk surrounding the former BoardWalk Bakery and BoardWalk Ice Cream shop is getting some attention.


BoardWalk Bakery, BoardWalk Ice Cream, and the former ESPN Club are all currently closed, and revised operating hours are in place for other locations.

It’s different but I don’t hate it

You should consider applying to be a jungle cruise skipper

What I don't get is the green palate color just like at Grand Floridian they chose a mint toothpaste looking that just doesn't fit or match the resort. Boardwalk's color is maroon!

Lots of mint paint left over from M. Mouse Merchantile, I see.

Never happen. There isn't enough parking, and Lexin who owns the downtown wants RIDICULOUS rent for the space. Many attempts were made to do something with the space and all have failed.

I didn't realize changes were being made to the store there, I thought it was fine and nice the way it was, but of course because it was nice it has to go, as such. Speaking of that also wondering about the Emporium, that entire back quadrant through to casey's walled off. Do we start cringing now how thats going to turn out?

Ah, the Boarddwakd, home of on-theme locations like Cake Bake Shop.

Hot take, if I was in charge... I'd be trying to remodel that bar ;) Maybe some more subtle colours, less circus, less tacky. ETA: I used Bing, please don’t write to corporate about me using AI to express what I would design.

100% accurate in your assessment - 1990s Disney at its BEST.

lol. Hey, that's still theming far beyond anything Carousel Coffee came up with.

;) (Yeah, I know it's gone, but it happened.)

The BoardWalk Inn pool bar is a great example of theming done well.

I agree with your point, but saying Carousel Coffee has a theme b/c it has pictures of carousels on the wall - is being extremely generous to Imagineering.
