New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

For all the criticism people throw at Disney for slow construction.

This is it. This is the one project where no one can say anything

It’s legitimately wild, and I think most cries of slow construction are overblown

I’m so confused on why they decided to hire people for a project not opening until at least summer of ‘25.

It will take a long time to interview all 7 billion humans to find the best bakers. This isn’t any old Cake Bake Shop.

Here are a few construction photos of The Cake Bake Shop from Saturday, April 13.

Looks about ready, opens tomorrow?

This is likely being paid for by the Restaurant entity using Disney selected or approved contractors.

I’d wager it’s a combination of cash flow issues and materials shortages. I also can’t imagine that the rent payments are being waived by Disney, as well as some sort of additional compensation to Disney for hurting the brand of the resort.

Makes sense.

As the construction is happening on a Disney owned resort building, you would think that Disney would handle all of the build-out... so if the tenant is having cash flow issues, the project doesn't sit in an unfinished state for years awaiting the Tenant to win the lotto to complete the construction... There really is no good reason they do not at least get this structure closed up and completed on the exterior.... Then they can spend another 3 to 5 years to complete the Marriott inspired thematic interior.

9 out of 10 guests actually enjoy the authentic “we are rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy” story we are seeing play out on the BoardWalk. They’ll finish rebuilding on time no matter how long it takes!

The poor corn dog stand was just an innocent victim of circumstance.

Still arguing with the insurance company after all these years. Poor bastards.

At least the purple is mostly painted over.
Does this mean the building will be receiving a "dryvit" type coating and not a "typical" New England clap board or shingle exterior?

I'm presuming that that's just a layer of grey mold that has overtaken the building.

Who knows at this point...I think the paint is a distraction to make it look like something is actually happening....lol

Funny, because that was exactly my thought as I watched them paint it

At this point, I might be more interested in the corn dog stand than the cake shop; at least the corn dog stand seems like it might actually open at some point. Any word on its opening date?

Not sure, but it looks very close to done

Meant to be this summer, last I’d heard. So they can stop bringing in random food trucks.

We're staying there next week, so I don't love our odds.
I'm fine with the food trucks, but my husband is still holding out for corn dogs.
