A lot of things have been changing around Disney World lately.
We’ve seen things reopening, like restaurants, returning, like popular shows, and even some new stuff, like a new ride! We learned earlier this year that some MAJOR changes would be coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, like the new deli that has already opened, and a new look for the lobby. There is also a new restaurant on the way — The Cake Bake Shop! And, we just got a first look at some concept art.
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is coming to Disney World’s BoardWalk in 2023, and it looks like it’s going to be located where the old ESPN Club was on the BoardWalk, and it’s getting a whole new look! Here’s what the design will look like on the outside, according to The Cake Bake Shop’s Instagram.
This design consistent with what the other Cake Bake locations look like — a lot of whimsy! It will definitely be a completely different vibe than the former sports bar that was here.
We don’t know much about the restaurant yet, except for what we can expect according to the other locations (but nothing is confirmed yet). We have an idea of what the menu could look like, and we’re sure to find out more as the opening draws closer. We DO know that the restaurant will be a table service spot and open sometime in 2023.
For more on The Cake Bake Shop, check out our EXCLUSIVE interview with Gwendolyn Rogers, the owner of The Cake Bake Shop, as well as our experience visiting another location of the restaurant!
We’ll keep you updated with any other info on the new restaurant, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
