Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

[Minnie1222]

I don't see any availability for Cake Bake during my trip in late December. Hopefully it's just a glitch. We'll be at BWI anyway and will try walking up.

Keep checking most OpenTable restaurants don't show beyond about 30 days so check back later in November.

RUMOR: Jellyrolls Piano Bar Set to Close at Disney’s BoardWalk​

The popular piano bar Jellyrolls at Disney’s BoardWalk is reportedly closing in 2025.



Sources indicate that Jellyrolls will close on or around January 1, 2025, to make way for a new, Disney-operated Jazz club as part of the larger ongoing overhaul of the BoardWalk area.

Recent years have seen many changes, including updating the BoardWalk Inn lobby, the opening of the BoardWalk Deli, BoardWalk Ice Cream, and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Big River Grille and Brewing Works closed earlier in 2024.

The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers was supposed to open in 2023, but was delayed until this year. The closure of Jellyrolls was supposedly always scheduled for after the Cake Bake Shop finally opened, which it has.

Jellyrolls is currently in its 29th year of operation (since the BoardWalk first opened) and features dueling pianists. Admission is only for guests aged 21+, and there is a cover charge. It is one of the last original venues in the area as Spoodles, ESPN Club, and Seashore Sweets have all been shuttered and replaced over the years.


Of course, all of the information above is purely speculative at this time and nothing has been confirmed at this time by Disney, nor by the third-party company that currently operates the establishment.

NOOOO! That is terrible news! Why can't Disney keep some of the really good venues? We love this place!

Yes, and we loved every minute! The food was good and the CM's fantastic!

Jellyrolls is not a Disney run establishment. They just provide the shell. J.r. Five, Inc runs the venue. Just like Espn Zone, and Big River Grill. So far it appears to be a business decision by J.r. Five, Inc and not Disney.

SURE DID! We spent 6 glorious days at the Innkeepers Club back in May. Cannot say enough good things about the staff, the food, and the overall experience. We'll be back for sure.

It appears they are only offering reservations a week out.

I was able to make mine 8 days out, so it mustn't be strictly a week.

Good morning
I have a resort view booked for the week leading up to Easter (nyc school break) I got a great deal but now I’m asking the experts here for the best location I should request. I know it’s just a request but I definitely want the best odds for a decent view. Thanks in advance any advice is appreciated!

It might be that the extra weeks were a temporary glitch that seems to have worked for you.

Does anyone know if they still have the Loungefly Boardwalk Ears at the Screen Door?

Yes the ears, backpack etc all still there!

Just to confirm that you have a regular resort room and not a DVC unit. Do you want to be near the elevators or the lobby level on the 2nd floor?

We arrived from Mco and as we departed our ride share at 11am we got the “room IS ready” text.

We booked a Boardwalk View Studio.

I love this view!

 

[trishadono]

Just popped out to find a rainbow!

 

[trishadono]

Of course we had to try!

Nice to have this so close to these hotels.
