New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

[Bocabear]

I love a good New York or good NJ Deli... Not that it is something I think about while on vacation though. I would have rather had a sausage sandwich and cheesesteak place with a bunch of nice outdoor seating... that would fit the Jersey Shore Boardwalk theme...and would be great for late night eats after EPCOT... Just sayin'

a Jersey Mikes would've been a better fit

As a former New Yorker, who lived 50 years on Staten Island, worked in Brooklyn for 36 years, and resided in New Jersey for the past 7 years - the idea of a deli (particularly while I'm on vacation) brings out zero interest in me.
Deli's have always been kind of gross to me.
I suppose people who are less familiar with them may find the idea more novel.

I'm not sure anyone in the country is unfamiliar with delis -- at least anyone that lives in a moderately sized city. I've lived in the southeast my whole life and everywhere I've ever lived has had at least one.

Regardless, having a deli in an area themed to a northeastern early 20th century boardwalk makes sense.

Also having a venue that can serve food all day long makes more money.

Wasn't the Boardwalk Bakery open all day? They had sandwiches.

Yes.

So I'm trying hard, but I really see not much difference (besides some minor appearance changes) between the new deli and the old bakery.

They changed some sandwiches and added a pickle.

Agreed. Seems they just made some menu changes and changed the sign.

Maybe it's a really good pickle.

What I can't believe is that y'all seem to have expected something else.

I thought they closed when they ran out of the morning supply?

Might be misremembering.

I mean, Disney closes rides for 6 months when they need to add new paint. What were you expecting for a restaurant that closed for like 3 weeks? Honestly, it feels a bit like the new bakery at ESPN made a condition they can be the only place called "Bakery" on the Boardwalk, so Disney just changed the name of the place to appease them.

 

[dreday3]

Calm down people, I wasn't expecting anything, just observing.
I'm not the one who thought there would be a meat slicer on-site...

 

[lewisc]

Changing the name was an easy way to let guests know lunch is available. Bakery suggests breakfast and fun food

Maybe, the last time I was there was 2014 so a lot could have changed.

I didn't expect anything else. Other people seemed to think (or hope?) it was going to be a bigger change, though.

I had the same thought. They just changed the name because of that place going in.

I'm not sure I ever went in there, but it looks like the last menus from before it shut down show it as open until either 10 or 11 PM. They had non-breakfast sandwiches like roast beef.

no seating at all?

None inside - never had that, but always had a few outside. Not sure if those are still there.

There are very few tables there. I had commented earlier that abracadabar seating is often filled with people eating pizza that they get from the walk up window.
