Disney’s BoardWalk Welcomes New Experiences, Giving Visitors More Reasons to Come Back
Guests will also be invited to experience new adventures at Disney’s BoardWalk in late 2026. The waterfront promenade has long been celebrated for its timeless allure, vibrant energy, and distinctive mix of dining, shopping, and nightlife. The scenic area is a popular place to relax and play along the shores of Crescent Lake and is based on turn-of-the-century coastal boardwalks such as Atlantic City and Coney Island.
“These new additions are the next step in the evolution of Disney’s BoardWalk, bringing new energy to the area while keeping the heart of what makes it so special. Whether you are staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn for an extended vacation or just stopping by for a night out after visiting EPCOT right next door, you will find that there is always something enchanting waiting to be discovered. The expansion means that returning families and new visitors will find unique and fun offerings that transition easily from daytime to nighttime play.”
A New Lounge Hits the Stage
A new lounge space, Hurly-Burly, will welcome guests for lively afternoons and glamorous evenings, tucked into the scenic waterfront. The venue is located in a gorgeously themed, historic seaside theater and has a lively BoardWalk story that dates back over a century of fictional history. What makes the destination unique is that it manages to combine the rich nostalgic architecture with the flexible everyday programming to cater to a wider range of visitors’ preferences.
The special quality of Hurly-Burly is its dual-natured approach to entertainment, which is meant to accommodate different types of park-goers during the day. Family-friendly activities are open to guests of all ages during the afternoon. Visitors can drop in for raucous trivia rounds and a host of other interactive games led by a magnetic on-stage emcee. It’s the perfect daytime wind-down option for families who want a quick break from the neighboring theme parks without going all the way back to their hotel rooms.
Hurly-Burly will evolve into an upscale live music venue after sunset, where guests 21 and older can kick back and socialize. Adult guests can enjoy a menu of classic, coastal-inspired cocktails and tasty light bites while taking in top-tier musical entertainment, which is the perfect complement to the BoardWalk’s existing nightlife offerings. Whether you’re in for a competitive round of daytime trivia or an evening of seaside serenades, Hurly-Burly is the kind of place visitors find themselves going back to again and again for both the flavorful refreshments and energetic atmosphere.
