Boardwalks Seashore Sweets to close

[scottnj1966]

I wouldn't be surprised if Seashore Sweets moves into the ESPN arcade space

I agree with this. Seems like a logical plan.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Yes this seems to be the plan, although not yet confirmed.

Well that would make me happy, although it does make the choice of wording in the letter I received that it's "closing permanently" a bit odd.

I received a letter today regarding an upcoming trip @ BWV saying Verbatim "Seashore sweets, yard arcade, and the retail shop at ESPN club have closed to make way for new experiences" No mention of permanently in the letter I received, go figure

I understand that this is to make room for the remodelling and expansion of Flying Fish

Now that I reread mine, wording is (of course) the same.

Glad (at this time) EPSN remains open. I like this location so much better then the larger ESPN zones. Was surprised how much different the food is between the club and the zones. Like the club much better.

Also wondering if/when Atlantic will be refreshed.

My sad just got a little happier.

I've always thought that the Boardwalk needed something a bit more. Maybe this will allow for some overall remodel/restructure with the original charm in mind.

Never got a chance to go here, but like the OP said it must be for a makeover.

If there's already another arcade by the pool then this makes sense, especially considering his Disney has changed/closed arcades since the gambling legislation. What doesn't make sense is why they wouldn't have moved the candy store first before closing down the current location, although these winter months are better than most. I'm hoping this part gets done quicker than the Flying Fish.

Shouldn't be hard to move a candy store if that's the plan.

OMG Yes! This Club/Bar/Night spot is so weak sauce and has been for so many years now!
I feel like the space could be better used/repurposed for a few different concepts to include a night club, though the contracts that are written for this place seem to keep the future of it quite deadpan!

~Edit~ BTW is the DVC mock room still necessary? Couldn't it also be turned into something else or turn back into a room already!

 

[C.FERNIE]

Aww we always got ice cream from there! Looking forward for what they do with the Flying Fish Cafe, we always go there for our first meal, but last time the air con was dripping constantly right next to our table!

When we bought DVC, we really enjoyed seeing different models. And having the ambiance of the boardwalk kind of put me in lala land/ready to buy my piece of Disney!

But, I agree with an update to the Atlantic!

 

[NiarrNDisney]

Update: For those who do not know NYC's Craft Creamery is coming to the Boardwalk and taking over what used to be the Yard Arcade and ESPN Club store.

Sorry I meant to do this a long time ago!

So are you ready for a new and improved Flying Fish?

How about the new bar AbracadaBar?

I think this is a marvelous idea... and perfect...It made no sense that there was no bar attached to Flying Fish, and the theme is perfect.
Now...could they do something with ESPN...like move it to Disney Springs where it belongs, and put in a truly fabulous 1920s boardwalk themed restaurant in it's place? ESPN has never quite fit the theming of the resort...I think they could do much better with that space and create a spectacular environment that everyone would want to go to... More akin to the idea of Abracadabar...

I agree with you on the ESPN Club though I would hate to lose any entertainment options on the Boardwalk! But yes relocating it to DS may be a better place for it. Hmmm what could be taken from DS that would work well on the Boardwalk if there was a trade?

 

[Bocabear]

it would NEVER happen, but thematically The Boathouse would make lots of sense...Rather than just move something from there to The Boardwalk, I would rather they create a whole new concept...that is entertaining and beautiful...themed to the actual 1918-1930 boardwalk era...over the top, old Luna Park style. beautiful engaging thematics...a "must go" place that would rival O'hana in popularity...
they could do it... but will they ever rethink that space? probably not...
