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.

Does anyone have any sense what Disney's plans are for the Boardwalk, if indeed they have any? For example, is it similar to the Downtown Disney to Disney Springs transformation which saw the Pleasure Island bars and clubs give way to dining and more upscale cocktail bars?
Unless Jellyrolls left of their own accord, presumably Disney had some reason for not wanting to continue accepting their money.
Dancing on the first floor, business on the second.
Do you think Disney just removed letters they need to use somewhere else?

Ha me too!
And Disney too apparently!
Today's Disney wants to sell DVCs and will happily rent space inside and outside their parks and resorts.
For Today's Disney, the theme park experiences , guest experiences is low on their priority list it appears. The things that got them here is not as important today I guess. Well, we need to look no further than the EPCOT renovation to see this.
Business is business I guess....

The problem with nightlife areas is they are only profitable at night. Disney prefers to rake in cash 12 plus hours per day. Or passive rental income as others have mentioned.
Especially when one has walked around Disney Springs at 10:45 and been turned away from everywhere because they're closed.

Pleasure Island but with a $$$$ clientele?

Within the last year that no longer became the case. They are free to now re-imagine this space when and if they decide to.

Off-Boardwalk Villas anyone?

Sad to see Jelly Rolls go but it would make for a nice sized restaurant. Big River wasn't very large so a lounge/night spot may be a better fit for that space.

I don’t know how they’d expect to fill anything here, since apparently Boardwalk parking security sometimes think parking for non-guests, or even Ubering, is not allowed.
We were staying at the Swan a few years ago and Ubered to the Boardwalk from Animal Kingdom because we were going to pick up desserts at the bakery before returning to our room for an afternoon break.
The security guard in the parking lot (very rudely) would not let our uber drop us off, despite showing her the room keys, which have the Swolphin on them, and explaining we were picking up food.
I found this especially problematic since they’re supposed to allow you to shop and eat there, but apparently only if you walk or take WDW transportation.
And it was an Uber, clearly marked, so we obviously weren’t parking.
It kind of ruined the day. Our legs were tired and we were hot, and the little cafe in the Swan wasn’t open at that time. And I really wanted one of those little lemon tarts with the marshmallow fluff on top.
The security guard was so unpleasant about it. I work retail, and she would’ve been fired for talking to anyone that way at my store. I deal with Karens all day, so I go out of my way to be courteous with service staff.

I'm going with the ultimate Disney/DVC troll... A Canadian whisky bar and lounge replaces Jellyrolls...
Part of BWV. Attract customers who like the low cost per point and don't realize the short expiration date.

Great idea! This way you wear yourself out dancing and go upstairs and sleep through the sales pitch…
