Weird. BoardWalk doesn’t need another shuttered location on the main strip.

I’d imagine this is moving to Disney Springs?

Hmm wouldn’t be shocked if it’s moving next door to Swan and Dolphin with their expansion.

Just as an aside, growing up I used to listen, along with my dad, to radio talk show host Bruce Williams, who did a show primarily about answering people's finance and business-type questions. Anyway, he was one of the original founders and owners of Jellyrolls. He's deceased now, but I believe his family still owns it. Interested to see what their next steps are.

Big blow to the convention crowd unless it moves within walking distance.

I have to word this carefully to avoid invoking political slogans, but it's high time that they restore the Boardwalk to its former glory. The boardwalk itself is like a shell of its former self.

 

[Rosso11]

Jellyrolls already made another post about it.

“To all of our loyal guests - we look forward to sharing exciting news and big announcements! Stay Tuned!”

I guess they wanted to emphasize that this is not the end of them.

Theres still a lot of stuff at the boardwalk. Flying fish and Trattoria are high quality restaurants. The ice cream shop, and Abracadabar are usually pretty crowded. Cake bake is decent. They have lots of for stands like corn dogs, margaritas, and pizza window. The Wayland Gallery and Screendoor shops, Carnival games and live entertainment like jugglers, balancing acts, living statues and several rotating acts.

Just asked about this. It's not moving elsewhere within Disney.

It's sad to a late night entertainment venue leaving. Disney has very few things to do in the evening. Now it's one less.

Presumably S&D includes “Disney” so that may imply…Citywalk?

 

[montyz81]

Somewhere around Epic Universe? The timing of the closure fits.

 

[monothingie]

Oh good another empty space at the Boardwalk.

Maybe they’ll put in a Michelin Star French restaurant to compliment the Boardwalk theme?

 

[castlecake2.0]

Interesting that now the whole end of the strip will be up for grabs, wonder if Disney will take over both

Especially now that they rather the parks open so early instead of stay open late.
Such a departure from the 90s and late 00s into the 10s.

I can’t even take Disney transport back after watching yeehaw Bob at the port cause Disney Springs closes so early.

They seem so weirdly adverse to having any late night options. We were shocked on a recent trip that DS closes at 11:30, even on weekends. Pre-COVID Raglan and Edison were open til 1ish. Boathouse was serving food until midnight.

That’s the late night weekend hours!

 

[HauntedPirate]

Closing another place for late-night fun for adults? Yeah, that’s fits. Sadly.

Maybe this will become another World of Disney. I wouldn’t expect more out of Josh and Co.

Those are food and gift sales? The only entertainment are ad hoc "acts"
