'The Cake Bake Shop' has issued an update on its Facebook page with a revised timeline for its opening at Disney's Boardwalk in Walt Disney World.

 

As we previously reported, construction has been moving at a leisurely pace, and it was clear that the new restaurant and bakery would not meet its planned 2023 opening.

The latest timeline from 'The Cake Bake Shop' is an early 2024 opening.

Here is the full update

All of us at The Cake Bake Shop are eager to unveil the beautiful details and charm that are coming to Disney's BoardWalk! As the excitement is building and our hearts are brimming with anticipation, we expect to open our doors early next year to welcome you to an unforgettable dining experience. Stay connected with us for more details leading up to our opening.

Obviously, there's no bottom to how bad a chicken salad sandwich can be but I think there is a ceiling to how high-end you can go with them and I'm not seeing anything suggesting they've done something special, here. The presentation with lettuce falling out into a "salad" may be appealing to some but it looks lazy to me. I look at that and think "that's gotta be easy to plate for a line cook since the entire open side of that croissant is just intentional havoc".

The one that is $10.95?

I wonder then What are your thoughts on the Baguette and Ham and cheese in The Boulangerie in The France Pavilion?

Not really though. Flying Fish next door is in the same price range but offers much "fancier" food by any objective measure. Tons of restaurants at WDW offer creative, unique dishes. CBS's problem is that no matter how hard you try a chicken salad sandwich or a ham & cheese baguette are gonna be fine, not gonna be the best version of each you've had and not worth $30.

One of my mainstays here. Started where I went to school (Auburn, AL). Always consistently good, so I'd chalk your experience up to it being new and having to work out the kinks. I'd give it another go once they get their sea legs.

I stopped working at Subway 10 years ago. Only been back once and even then it was because my friend wanted to go. I wouldn't compare the Cake Bake Shop (and can we please stop using CBS as the short hand) to Subway.

New chain opened up in our area called Chicken Salad Chick... Chicken salad on a croissant for $9.99 with a side. Just tried it and it was not great. You would think specializing in Chicken Salad that their Chicken Salad would be amazing...I am sure Gwendolyn's Chicken Salade is much better.... THough I still can't justify a $26 price tag for any chicken salad...even with an extra "e"...

Or CBS is offering what Disney guests consider fancy food. The criteria could wind up being luxury compared to other Disney restaurants

You've never had chicken salad from ""restaurants" like Subway.
