Jellyrolls, the popular dueling piano bar at Disney's BoardWalk, has officially announced its closing date. After nearly 30 years of entertaining guests with live music and high-energy performances, Jellyrolls will end operations on April 19, 2025.

The closure was confirmed on Jellyrolls' official social media channels, where they shared that details for farewell performances will be announced at a later date. The venue has encouraged fans to stay tuned for updates as they prepare for their final months at Disney's BoardWalk.

Jellyrolls first opened in 1996, offering an adults-only nightlife experience where talented pianists take song requests and lead the crowd in lively sing-alongs. Over the years, it became a go-to spot for both locals and Disney vacationers looking for an upbeat, interactive atmosphere. Its closing marks the end of an era for the BoardWalk's entertainment scene.

As of now, there has been no word on what will replace Jellyrolls at its current location or if the bar will reopen elsewhere. Fans still have time to visit before the final show on April 19, with more farewell event details expected in the coming months.

Skyliner dramatically increased the number of guests using the international gateway. The internet has increased the number of guests who want to use the international gateway at park opening. Shorter walk to Remy. That may be a reason to restrict ridenshare access at park opening.

the banging

Maybe a little - but the skyliner is a decent walk from the boardwalk. Boardwalk has always been busy with all of the street entertainment, carnival games, and various bars and restaurants. Of course with 2 closed venues, that doesn’t help.

I've been curious about the skyliner's impact on the Boardwalk. Id imagine its increased use of the area a bit? Wonder if that had an impact.

Not for nothing, but if you do some research on Boardwalk, you’ll see what the resort looks like and what you could possibly expect…I mean if you book POP lower level by the pool, you would expect guest noise, no? C’mon, folks (ESPECIALLY on this forum), do some homework! We’ve stayed there, knew what we could expect, had ZERO noise problems (2nd floor overlooking the bw) and had an AWESOME time there…

What made it loud? The street shows? The boats honking the horns? People eating ice cream, corn dogs, cakes? The movies shown on the lawn?

I thought it was really loud the one time we had a villa on the Boardwalk so YMMV. We don’t book that anymore.

You would be surprised on how noisy it really was. We once had the room circled in red below. I wasn't happy with the front desk, but they assured me that if it was noisy, they would move us, no problem.... Well, it wasn't noisy and I slept fine.

We're talking about a made up rule.

It’s called CUSTOMER SERVICE…

Is your take that Disney security should have a different standard than other guest facing positions? If that’s that case - then Disney needs to hire greeters for the guest facing roles.

That’s such crap it squeaks going into a turn. Inclusion? Wtf are you talking about.? Show? They are not fing clowns or performers, they are security staff. Safety. Sure, enforcing rules, absolutely. Courtesy? Sure. But that doesn’t mean bending rules for every Karen or Ken that thinks the rules don’t apply to them.

Every customer facing job at Disney is a customer service job. Disney Security standards are still 1. safety, 2. Courtesy, 3. Inclusion, 4. Show, and 5. efficiency. Security at Disney should be just as friendly as attraction hosts, character attendants etc. when talking to guests. Especially when the request is very simple - like an Uber drop off.

I haven’t really ever had to be involved in retail, but I don’t see how security relates to retail. a lot of securities job is telling people what they can’t do, where people can’t go, ect.
