HUGE Changes Hit the Former Jellyrolls Location at Disney World

By 1 Comment

With all the construction going on at Disney World, this location has kind of fallen under the radar. However, we noticed some big changes were happening!

Disney’s BoardWalk

Disney’s Boardwalk Resort used to be home to a very popular bar called Jellyrolls, until it closed down in April 2025. Since its closure, Disney has been working on the building, and construction has been ramping up. We went to check out the progress, and a lot of work has been done. We’re just wondering what is going to be coming to this spot.

By 1 Comment

It’s FINALLY happening! An iconic Disney World late-night spot is reopening…but not where you might expect.

Jellyrolls

Jellyrolls, a dueling piano bar, closed on Disney’s BoardWalk in April 2025 after 30 years of operation. When news of the closure was first announced, we knew that it wasn’t the end of Jellyrolls for good, but we weren’t sure when or where we’d meet our old friend again. That has officially changed, as Jellyrolls has announced that it will reopen just minutes from Disney World later this year.

By Leave a Comment

For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!
