The lobby refurbishment at Disney's BoardWalk Inn is now underway, with sections of the check-in desks now behind construction walls.

The lobby remains open to guests as usual, with several check-in desks and bell services still available.

It isn't clear how significant the changes will be in the lobby, but it can be assumed that the design will follow recent updates at other resorts, where rows of check-in desks have been replaced with smaller stations for a more relaxed look.

The updates to the BoardWalk Inn lobby are part of a resort-wide refresh, including the new Cake Bake Shop table service restaurant, refurbished guest rooms, and the recently opened Carousel Cofee and BoardWalk Deli.

They must have checked the couch cushions and hit a windfall

Looks good. When this is done do we start a timetable for the empty Big River Grille spot?

It's going to be buried like an archeological dig site by the time it opens.

That gold lettering is going to be faded by the time it opens.

There’s a reason I only stay at Epcot/Skyliner resorts. With the occasional AKL :)

The price wasn’t the problem. It’s the wait. I waited 20 minutes for a cold street dog. It was fine, and for scientific purposes I will order again, but they were extremely backed up and not even busy. I’d hate to see what happens during peak times.

I was at the Boardwalk tonight, walking from the Hollywood Studios bus loop to Epcot International Gateway (to watch Luminous from the bridge). It was also my first ever time at the Boardwalk, and I gotta say the nighttime vibes were pretty cool and nice. It was decently crowded with people doing all sorts; eating, sitting, chatting, strolling, etc. The entertainment acts were also pretty nice and gathered a really large group of guests. Reminded me a lot of the beach boardwalks at Atlantic City and elsewhere. Also took some pictures of some of the new stuff. The new Corndog stand, which had a decent line on both sides. Smelled pretty nice and was busy. And the infamous Cake Bake Shop. Overall, fantastic area at WDW that I've never experienced or seen yet. Recommended for anyone to stop by or stroll thru. That walkway from HS to Epcot is golden, especially at night if you don't want to take the Skyliner.
