Anyone know when the room/lobby construction is set to start at the Boardwalk? We are staying there end of august into LDW. I’ll change to a new resort if it will be heavily under construction at that time.

We just left and they haven’t started anything in the lobby yet. There’s pretty heavy construction out by the espn club, but it didn’t seem disruptive. I just felt bad for the workers. It was so hot.

We’ll also be there early August. If I find out anything I’ll report back.

Sorry, I missed the reports, but what exactly are they doing with the lobby? Just touching some things up, or more of a full renovation? Also, any restaurants or marketplace type offerings expected Inside the resort?

Thanks in advance!

Don’t quote me, but I believe new lobby with a coffee shop, room renovations, and some changes on some of restaurants along the boardwalk.

ESPN Club is gone (they demolished the building) and they are putting in a ridiculously overpriced bakery.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do not believe the building has been demolished. I believe that the external theming elements have been removed but the building remains. I could be mistaken.

As @plutofan15 said, the building was not demolished, just modified.
