How many BWV studios can Disney build in that location?What’s going here? A DVC preview center perhaps?

News Jellyrolls Announces Departure from Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

- Start date
The party that would hire The PBSO and four current/former Dapper Dans to perform would be one I'd gladly pay to attend...

I think it's both. You can't be up at 7am, in a park by 8am spending money if you don't go to bed early.

If a tenant with enough MONEY comes by, Disney will gladly take their money.

It's also high margin money going to a third party. Given the expansion of the offering, I think we would be foolish to not think Disney sees alcohol as a major revenue driver. Funneling more of that to Disney-owned properties (or third parties willing to pay the very high rent prices to cover that revenue transfer) has to be part of this overall equation.
This one is probably more mutual with the Jellyrolls team, as I think Disney Springs and the like also involves the staffing requirements for later night entertainment offerings.

Alcohol sales has the highest margins second only to the king (money for nothing) LL sales.
Third I am guessing is merch.
I am guessing the lowest margin is food. (Way too much material and labor costs before the product gets to the customer)

Disney moved fast in deleting Jellyrolls from the official maps on the website/app, they also took the opportunity to finally remove Big River Grille as well (it was still labeled on the map despite closing more than a year ago).

World of Disney would be excellent but we must remember, Disney wants to be THE LANDLORD, taking rent payments.

Feels like Boardwalk is a very tricky location for Disney to sort out.
Sure they could make a grand World of Disney or a resturant that draw crowds - but do they want to draw massive crowds to this area?
Maybe they can stick the Gingerbread display here.

Eh?
Each resort has their own, they’re tailored for the specific resort for the guests staying there. And it would be for 6 weeks tops.

Id agree its very tricky...getting there by car is nearly impossible due to parking...so its relying on Epcot/HS guests and nearby hotels.

I'm not confident the Gingerbread house will be back at Grand Flo.
Maybe it ends up at Disney Springs. Or maybe it's gone for good.

Any company would.

As far as I can tell, Disney have to keep that as part of the terms of the Swan & Dolphin.
But they should make much better use of it, for sure.

I have wondered if Disney plans to put in a restaurant with a jazz / dance club in the big river and Jellyrolls space to satisfy the dance club requirement and free up that space.

My point is, Disney does not want a World of Disney, staffed by CMs, they would much rather be the landlord and just collect rent.
If only they took the "Y" down, then it would have just said "LOLLS" on the front of the building.Here is a look from today at Jellrolls removal
But I expect the rest of the sign to be removed in the next 1-10 weeks.
I think we all agree that a multi-story DVC sales center would be the best fit.
