We FINALLY Know What Is Going in This Abandoned Disney World Building

After months of questions, we FINALLY know what’s coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Resort.

Disney’s BoardWalk Construction

After what felt like an eternity of sitting vacant, big changes are finally coming to some long-abandoned spaces at the popular Deluxe Tier Disney World Resort.

Since JellyRolls – – the hotel’s very popular longtime dueling piano bar location – – shut its doors back in April 2025, the BoardWalk’s nighttime offerings have been limited. However, that’s about to change thanks to Hurly-Burly! This new spot will “welcome guests for fun-filled afternoons and glamorous evenings inside a historic seaside theatre with a vibrant BoardWalk story that spans over a century.”

The lounge will offer two distinct experiences for guests. During the day, Hurly-Burly will act as a family-friendly venue with activities and trivia games. At night, it will transition to a 21+ live music venue with coastal-inspired cocktails and light bites. So far, Disney hasn’t confirmed if Hurly-Burly will be coming to the former JellyRolls exact location, but the concept art and construction at the former site do seem to hint at such.

The opening of Hurly-Burly will add another dining option to Disney World’s already large selection of offerings. Between the reviews, menus, and reservation strategies, it’s a lot to sort through. Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!

The BoardWalk will also see the opening of a new Basin location. Dubbed Basin on the BoardWalk, the new location for the longtime Disney partner will offer the expected curated collection of handcrafted products including natural soaps, botanical bath salts, bath bombs, body butters, shampoo and conditioner bars, as well as interactive elements that make the experience more unique, including a custom bath tea blending counter, a make-your-own-soap station, and a soap embossing press for a personalized finishing touch.

Both Basin on the BoardWalk and Hurly-Burly are scheduled to open later in 2026, as is a yet-unnamed quick service location. Stay tuned to DFB for further updates on what’s coming to Walt Disney World.
