New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

True boomers are 69-77. I doubt too many of them are heading up design teams.

The generations are defined the way they are (and the defining line is pretty arbitrary, but it is what it is); there's no separate "true" version of those generations. Someone born in 1982 is considered a millennial, as is someone born in 1995 -- those two people had childhoods that were so wildly different that it seems silly to act as though they have any kind of shared cultural experience that groups them together.

I'm sure there are some millennials heading up design, but the majority are likely Gen X. And most higher executives who are giving final sign-off are even more likely to be Gen X (or the youngest Boomers).

As a true Gen-Xer, who really cares in the end.

Hey guys!

Ran across a video of the refurbished cottages at Boardwalk. We've never stayed there, but thought some of you might like to see the updates.

When we stayed at Boardwalk, our room overlooked the little cottages and I thought they were adorable. Fun to see inside one of them.

The refurbishment at Trattoria al Forno has been extended until late June 2023.

"Please note: Trattoria al Forno will be closed from June 11 to late June 2023 as it undergoes refurbishment. No dinner offerings will be available. However, Trattoria al Forno will provide a limited breakfast menu during those dates, with Guests who book breakfast being directed to dine in the Flying Fish dining room."

It appears the refurbishment at Trattoria al Forno is complete - reservations are available again for dinner beginning today.

Perfect for a BoardWalk.

Good news! WDW needs better corn dogs

If it is as good as Corn Dog Castle at DCA, then it will be a win all around!
I am not sure why they never put one of those in the Circus Area in Fantasyland...would be a perfect fit.

I am way too excited about this.

That would make too much sense. How does Disneyland have the iconic Corn Dog cart, and Mk doesn't?

I was pretty confused by the lack of Corn Dogs when I did my ICP summer stint at MK back in 2013. The Corn Dog Nuggets were my saving grace.

Okay, I may have been wrong? I didn't think the cake-bake shop would have a decent menu for actual food, but if it follows this menu from their other locations, I can definitely see eating here for lunch or dinner if staying in the area. The sandwich/entrée prices really aren't much pricier than other restaurants.

You're forgetting the Disney tax on top of those prices. Add like $5-6 on each item lol

Just to help everyone calculate: the tax rate is 6.5% on dining at WDW.

I think Chicago is 10.75%.

To be fair, I wasn't talking the actual local/state taxes. I was be facetious about needing to add about $5-6 above what you see outside of the Disney bubble for the pricing to expect on site.

 

[LSLS]

I'm not a corn dog person, but this fits the area perfect.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

Agreed. That's a great addition to this area.

I know.

I'm in the habit of buying discounted Disney gift cards to cover running costs while we are in WDW. To do that, it helps if I an estimate a rough idea of how much we're going to spend. The tax does add a fair amount.

At present, a number of the buffets are now $59+ tax per adult. That's pretty crazy. So tax for two adults is $7.67.

Over the course of a week at WDW, food/sales tax does add up. In that, I very much agree with your earlier post.
