Two Mystery Projects Coming to Disney's BoardWalk Resort at Walt Disney World​

Two mystery projects — "Project Amazon" and "Project Bubbles" — have appeared in the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District database for BoardWalk, with no announcement from Disney on either. Project Amazon is tied to the former Big River Grille space, vacant since January 2024, while Project Bubbles sits at the former Promenade Fine Art Gallery, which closed in late October 2025.

I was hoping project Amazon meant they were gonna fix all their website infrastructure in AWS so they would actually perform right. Bummer

I'm actually waiting for a terribly thematically mismatched concept to be shoehorned into the spaces.

I mean maybe they'll move Rainforest Cafe to the Boardwalk? That seems about right with the level of thematic cohesion at the Boardwalk these days.

I'm hoping they go full on Atlantic City and open up a Casino.

What are the odds they would do that when it would siphon money away from the "Experiences" bottom line? Now, if they somehow could blend that into their sacred Per Guest Spending numbers...

Bubbles: champagne piano bar like on DCL ships, think 1 casual piano instead of 2 dueling pianos

Amazon: is a big river, referencing former big river grill, thinking an upscale QSR like primo at riviera

I'm wondering if Bubbles is a reference to the Wyland gallery that was in that space forever, and its ocean-themed art

 

[Notes from Neverland]

A new quick service spot and a new nighttime spot would be great additions. Here's hoping!

Finally. For the year after Big River closed it was sitting there as a stockroom for Thimbles & Threads next door, particularly for holiday merchandise.

Oh yes! That makes sense

You joke, but I'm sure some DVC members would actually appreciate that!

They're in alphabetical order with "A" and "B" names. Something more to those names?

What they really need to do, is just reopen the adventurer's club on the boardwalk.

DING DING DING!!!! It would be a HUGE hit there...especially if they added some food options...
probably a better fit for Atlantic Dance Hall

 

[Bocabear]

My guess Bubbles could be an outlet od Basin like at the Grand Floridian...
and AMAZON, who knows? Anything themed to the Amazon would be a terrible thematic fit for the hotel...

Yep, Atlantic would be a great place for the new AC. Would be a massive draw and anchor for that end of the Boardwalk.

I can't imagine an easier layup for Josh than to announce the return of the Adventurer's Club at D23. With Epcot closing most nights at 9pm, have a 10pm "seating" — and watch the cash roll in.

Was thinking a Basin store as well

Did they lay-off Alice and Bob?!?

Needs a crack addict screaming at you about how birds aren't real sitting on the bench opposite the entrance for true authenticity.
