BoardWalk Inn lobby coffee shop construction - October 4 2022
Posted: Thursday October 6, 2022 9:43am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work is now underway on the first of several updates coming to Disney's BoardWalk Inn lobby.

Dundy's Sundries is now closed and will soon become a new coffee shop. The new coffee bar will serve artisanal beverages and quick bites, available to-go or in newly refreshed seating spaces inside or outdoors.

Dundy's Sundries previously sold gifts and essentials, and is located just off the main lobby area.

Merchandise sold in Dundy's Sundries can be found at the Screendoor General Store outside the hotel on the boardwalk.

This is my third night here. The Boardwalk has plenty of foot traffic, lovely music, and best of all, so far the jump ropers are not here tonight, for which I'm exceedingly grateful. Their routine was fine to watch once. Having it right under my balcony got old, fast.

We were there two nights ago and there was a decent number of people. Actually, the acrobatic show probably had the largest crowd I have ever seen on the Boardwalk. He was really good with the getting the kids and adults involved.

It's been livelier, but still decent crowds.

Anybody been down there recently in the evening? How lively is the place these days? Lots of people watching the entertainment?

No they were hiring for this location. So it’s a little confusing bc it doesn’t look like it will be done anytime in the near future.

So with the roof still being exposed plywood, I would assume without it being watertight they have not begun drywall inside...Usually the structure is completely sealed from the elements before that starts... So I am assuming the interior is still at studs and concrete floor... And they are advertising about hiring? Must be for another location in the area...

The current state, as seen from my balcony.

We're here now. When I told my husband it was supposed to open in 2023, he thought I was pulling his leg.

This thread reminds me of the BAH demolition thread, except the opposite. With the BAH, we all tuned in to see how much progress they made overnight. With the Cake Bake Shop, we all tune in to see how little progress they made in the last week.

Shouldn’t take too long if the theme is “white paint and some plants”.

I wonder if they’ve started on the inside at all.

I too was there yesterday. Maybe if they had as many workers as they did ladders this place would be finished already.

Just doing some digging…it doesn’t like like it’s completely a Disney issue. Her second locations opening date got moved too.
