Disney has today announced plans to update Disney's BoardWalk with new enhancements at the hotel and on the BoardWalk itself.

Disney's BoardWalk Inn will receive enhancements that are expected to open in 2023

Updates will include a new lobby design at Disney's BoardWalk Inn including a coffee bar, refreshed guest rooms, a new table service restaurant and bakery, and a new sandwich shop.

The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, is a new table service restaurant and bakery expected to open in 2023. According to Disney, "this restaurant will offer both savory and dessert menus, along with afternoon tea service, in a whimsical atmosphere that complements the magic of the idyllic charm of Disney’s BoardWalk."

The existing BoardWalk Bakery will become a new sandwich shop, and the ice cream store will remain.

Inside Disney's BoardWalk Inn, light and airy touches will reinvigorate the lobby, lounge and guest rooms, carrying the seaside breeze right inside. Just off the lobby, a new coffee bar with artisanal beverages and quick bites will be available to-go or in newly refreshed seating spaces inside or outdoors.

Disney has not yet offered any details on where the new additions will be located. However, the ESPN Club has not reopened since the COVID-19 shutdown, and would seem a likely candidate to be replaced.

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".

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"...
