I do appreciate that they’re only doing construction on the Cake Bake shop on week days during business hours from 3:00-3:30 pm when only cirrus clouds are present, Bob is east of the Mississippi, and the a new moon is imminent on non-operating park days. Otherwise hotel guests might be disrupted!

It'll reopen in 2037 with three indoor food trucks, all from Nicaragua. Cake Bake Shop will open about 28 months later. The Showplace of the Shore is back, baby!

There is absolutely no word on this - Disney was not anticipating this closure at all. I play piano at Jellyrolls next door and though it wasn’t great, it was a decent place to get a bite before a shift

I’m more interested in what’s going to happen with Big River.

If only they were re-thinking it and quietly prepping a more appropriate location at the Grand Floridian....or Flamingo Crossing

I legitimately had forgotten the Cake Bake Shop (sort of) existed until this thread got bumped today.

Correct, it looks like it's waterproofing and that they are replacing the exterior siding on that section of the hotel.

They had a few good men working on this project but now they are 100% focused on corn dogs.

It’s a line from a Few Good Men. They might have no memory of it at this point.
