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