Disney's Boardwalk Resort

[The Mayor]

Many say they loved Big River Grille, but not enough people went there to keep it open. That’s why it was so easy to do walk up, unfortunately.

The company went bankrupt. It wasn’t just the BW location. We stay at BWV and always request BW View above BRG and every time we were there it was always busy and we at there every visit.

they need to pick up the offerings on the BW or people are just going to stop going there.

there isn't a whole lot else anymore to make us recommend a trip over there for the evening.

LOL, it’s all a matter of point of view. My first thought on reading y’all’s comments was: Great, not as many cars crowding the parking lot, it will be easier for us to find a place to park when we stay at BWV!

We had the opposite experience there. It was never full in all our visits over many years.

Maybe it’s me but I was happy to see espn and big river grill close. ESPN was always empty and big river food just wasn’t any good. There was a reason you could walk in any time. Jelly Rolls was fine but I also think a jazz club will be fine.

I do miss Ample Hill but I get they went under. I was sad to see a generic ice cream shop go in, the area already has two.

I would like to see the Boardwalk Bakery offer a few more food options.

Yes Ample Hill was another victim of Covid-19, and bankruptcy. A company purchased Ample Hill assets but their future plans did not include the Boardwalk locations. Disney now runs the "BoardWalk Ice Cream" location directly.
