The large exterior signage is now being removed, marking the end of the venue’s nearly 30-year run. The “Dueling Pianos” sign that faced the Atlantic Dance Hall has already been taken down, and crews have started dismantling portions of the main “Jellyrolls” sign above the entrance.

So far, Disney has not announced any plans for what will take Jellyrolls’ place. The location on Disney’s BoardWalk Resort area, occupies a prominent space between other dining venues and resort hotels.

Jellyrolls opened in 1996 and built a reputation as a high-energy, adults-only destination known for its live dueling piano performances. Its closure was first announced earlier this spring, with the final night of operation taking place on April 17.

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.
