The refurbishment of Disney's BoardWalk Inn continues inside and out, with work now taking place on the exterior of the guest room buildings.

Over the past week, crews have used high-reach lifts to paint and work on guest room balconies.


Disney's BoardWalk Resort is in the middle of a significant refurbishment that has seen updates to guest rooms, a new lobby coffee shop, a new quick-service deli, and a new table service restaurant under construction.

    I don’t hate it. I think it’s the light brown color used on the doors and trim work ( that don’t match the dark wood ceiling beams) that makes these colors seem “off”. Hopefully not every room will look the same so the other rooms will have some better matching colors.

    You should consider applying to be a jungle cruise skipper

    What I don't get is the green palate color just like at Grand Floridian they chose a mint toothpaste looking that just doesn't fit or match the resort. Boardwalk's color is maroon!

    Lots of mint paint left over from M. Mouse Merchantile, I see.

    Never happen. There isn't enough parking, and Lexin who owns the downtown wants RIDICULOUS rent for the space. Many attempts were made to do something with the space and all have failed.

    I didn't realize changes were being made to the store there, I thought it was fine and nice the way it was, but of course because it was nice it has to go, as such. Speaking of that also wondering about the Emporium, that entire back quadrant through to casey's walled off. Do we start cringing now how thats going to turn out?

    Ah, the Boarddwakd, home of on-theme locations like Cake Bake Shop.

    Hot take, if I was in charge... I'd be trying to remodel that bar ;) Maybe some more subtle colours, less circus, less tacky. ETA: I used Bing, please don’t write to corporate about me using AI to express what I would design.

    100% accurate in your assessment - 1990s Disney at its BEST.

    lol. Hey, that's still theming far beyond anything Carousel Coffee came up with.

    ;) (Yeah, I know it's gone, but it happened.)

    The BoardWalk Inn pool bar is a great example of theming done well.
