Good to know the off-center marquee was a temporary stopgap.

This doesn’t seemed like a 2023 opening to me.
Just waiting for Disney to announce its coming in 2024 now.

You mean you didn't like the "_Boardwalk____Deli_____"?

I never understood that - the boardwalk bakery always sold sandwiches as well…. What was the need to rename it?

They needed a bold, new sign to match the bold, new vision on the interior.

I honestly assumed it was because they want the fancy new Cake Bake Bakery to be more important than the original Boardwalk Bakery. Though I will never call it the BW Deli, always the BW Bakery

They stopped construction for weeks on end so it seems so very unlikely. But the pace has picked up lately for sure

I’ve also had some of the strangest service in there. Not unfriendly… just really odd. And it usually takes forever for them to just box up a pre-made sandwich or Canoli.
The plus side is… some of the better quality quick service at Disney!

Same during recent trip (stopped in there twice)…with a bunch of folks working and little to no line of guests.
And not sure if it’s been discussed here, but two of the kiosks on there are empty/no longer operating, including one they had things like hot dogs and corn dogs to my memory. I believe they were 3rd-party operated. Any plans for those?

Yep, glacial "construction" pace totally on brand for disney.

Yeah, I was briefly hoping they were going to actually turn it into a deli, which would have been a great new option at the Boardwalk. I should have known better.

You can understand why this has taken a while.
The Boardwalk area is renowned for the quality of it's succulents.
They couldn't have rushed this process.
I've got an opening day ticket, just to be the first to view the latest potted beauties.

It’s very hard to grow succulents with Florida downpours.

ok the construction pace on this restaurant has become comical... With their current pace I would say late 2024-2025 for an opening... They are still at metal studs and have not closed in the structure..... And why a running restaurant would have to get completely stripped back to the steel girders to be refurbished into a bakery/restaurant is beyond me... the dollar amount has to be at the million dollar plus at this point.... and with that investment, how can any restaurant generate enough business to make this feasible? I guess the prices of the food are going to have to be incredibly high...
Were there actual structural issues that made gutting down to the steel girders absolutely necessary? They don't seem to have added more dining space to the footprint of the building... I am sure the kitchen needed to be upgraded for Bakery.... but this seems excessive.
Down here in South Florida we are used to seeing the annual openings of new restaurants every season...each one beginning with a million dollar gut and redo of the spaces, then they open, and by the end of the season they close....and another restaurant hospitality group comes in and completely guts the space and spends another million dollars to open a restaurant that will also fail by the end of the season.... The restaurants that are successful seem to be the very few that move into the space and just do some light refurbishment and a new sign...
