Great. I'm hoping this opens by Easter when we (as of now) have a room at BWV. I was wondering when it was going to get moving again.Photos from today - it appears framing for the bakery entrance is in progress.

Easter of 2026 maybe.Great. I'm hoping this opens by Easter when we (as of now) have a room at BWV. I was wondering when it was going to get moving again.
If they hire a 4th worker.Easter of 2026 maybe.
I just don't get the Cake Bake thing. Whether or not it will be delicious, it just doesn't scream "Boardwalk" to me. As a Delaware native I am very familiar with going to the NJ shore and it doesn't feel like something you would see there, which is I thought what Disney's BW was supposed to be going for. Then again, Disney doesn't seem to care much about what "fits in" where anymore.
I think Cake Bake Shop would have made a lot more sense at Grand Floridian, especially since they don't want to reopen 1900 Park Fare - why not just put it there?
No, it wasn't either. But doesn't mean they had to replace it with something else that makes little sense.Because the ESPN club was a great thematic fit??

Like I said, I'm sure it will be good and anything beats a long closed ESPN zone. I just feel the Cake Bake would have made more sense somewhere else.It's better than what it replaced and unlike resorts like the Poly and AKL, the theme of the Boardwalk isn't as cut and dry. I am looking forward to eating here.

I think everyone can agree that stylistically Cake Bake Shop would have been a perfect fit for Grand Floridian... I guess they wanted to capture the walking audience of 6 different hotels in the area... Which makes sense for business, but not for style and theme...Like I said, I'm sure it will be good and anything beats a long closed ESPN zone.

I think a lot of things would be more appreciated than a fancy expensive restaurant which are plentiful in that area...
Now a Jersey style diner open until 2 am everynight....now THAT would have added a real plus to the area....
Until it gets walls, the light of day is all we see on the inside. I wanna see cakes!It’s starting to look like this place will never see the light of day
The Boardwalk/Crescent Lake area desperately needs late night dining...especially with the parks open later... Off-ste terrible pizza delivery is not the way to do it... Why send Disney resort guests over to the Dolphin or Swan for a lousy premade sandwich? Disney is walking away from a lot of revenue...Well they need a business to open there that could succeed. We can have thematic purity with a location selling bread or Salt Water Taffy, but profitability is a different animal. The boardwalk area sure could use more dining options that are walkable from S&D.
Whether this will be successful or not I have no idea. I'd give their sandwiches a shot whenever they open even though the them is not my cup of tea.
As for NJ Diners, unfortunately, they almost universally don't stay open late anymore. I came out of a concert last weekend, driving down Rt. 9 and nothing was open. Checked Google Maps for nearby diners, and the closest 10 were all closed. I don't know if that shift happened during Covid or before, but it sucks.
If they want to theme that location to a NJ Diner in the 1990's, I'll be there.The Boardwalk/Crescent Lake area desperately needs late night dining...especially with the parks open later...

Regardless of whether or not New Jersey diners no longer stay open.... They used to....
and after all, this is based on a NJ Boardwalk from a different era...lol
Any era classic Jersey Shore diner would be great and a perfect fit...and late night dining would have that place very busy...If they want to theme that location to a NJ Diner in the 1990's, I'll be there.
Now you're talking. That's the best idea you've had all dayHow ‘bout they theme it as the truck stop Peter Quill visited when he was 8?
