New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

How are they these days? And to be fair they used to serve them right away, like you ordered and then “here is your slice” so 10 minutes sounds like an eternity.

I enjoy it but I don't really have high standards. The 10 minute wait ended up with a hot fresh slice of pizza, I had to wait a couple minutes to cool down. I will gladly wait 10 min for fresh pizza and not just warmed up pizza under a lamp and get it right away

The gold on white Cake Bake Shop sign seems very difficult to read unless very close. Imagine all the people in the area, like on boats, being near and not being able to read the sign.

If they can smell cake, they'll come.

They were surprised by it. Unfortunately due to its proximity to guest rooms there is no allowing for much of a kitchen (which explains the quality of some items from Big River) so it does box them in a bit.

I miss Ample Hills.

What happened to Ample Hills?

What happened to Ample Hills?

Something along the lines of getting overly ambitious in expansion, taking out a bad loan, and imploding on themselves.

I forgot that it was replaced with a different ice cream place.

The company expanded too quickly and went bankrupt. Salt and Straw is better though so I say we won haha

Which is the same ice cream served throughout WDW, including round the lake at Beaches & Cream.

I disagree and where else in WDW do you mean? I've had one of the flavors at both of here and Beaches and Cream and do not like Beaches and Cream.

Sorry, yes. The tea, cake, frilly photos and uppity looking vibe all scream Grand Floridian, not something you’d see at the Boardwalk. Doesn’t really matter as they chose to put it there anyway, but, I stand by my point.

If the Grand Floridian doesn't reopen it's afternoon tea and sandwiches then now Cake Shop will be the place for that!

It’s the same exact ice cream. Maybe the BoardWalk scoopers just scoop with 15% more love?

I’m not a Beaches and Cream fan, either. Anything I’ve gotten from the window has been sloppy and the TSR, meanwhile, is ridiculously slow.

It is the exact same ice cream. The All Star quick services have this ice cream, Plaza Ice Cream, Hollywood Scoops, etc. It's very rare to find variation in these kind of food products across property, that's why it's especially unfortunate that Ample Hills is gone.

The actual ice cream was good at ample hills but service and wait times were pretty odd there in my experiences.

Salt & Straw seems to hire their own staff and that, in my experience, results in a much better experience.

I wish salt & straw could take over boardwalk as well.

At this rate we can all celebrate the opening of Epic Universe by making a 6 month advanced reservation for 2026...

Most of the parking lot has reopened now since construction is mostly complete. I believe the only thing left to be completed is The Cake Bake Shop...though there is still an empty kiosk right in the middle of the Boardwalk (on top of Big River).

They must have removed the planters so Bob didn't have to see them, now that he's gone they went right back into position.

Ahhh good thinking! That is probably it. Remember last time the executives were there and a few topiary’s appeared? Hey they know who to impress I’ll give them that!
