Walt Disney World bringing new Lounge, Soap Shop and Quick-Service Spot to Disney's BoardWalk

Check out the new spaces coming to the BoardWalk, a quarter-mile promenade along the water's edge in the EPCOT Resort Area, featuring dining, shopping, and exciting nightlife.

Walt Disney World has announced that new experiences are on way to Disney’s BoardWalk, set to open starting in late 2026.

Disney’s BoardWalk has long been known for its timeless charm, lively atmosphere and unique mix of dining, shopping, and nightlife. Inspired by turn-of-the-century coastal boardwalks like those found in Atlantic City and Coney Island, this waterfront promenade remains a favorite place to relax and play along Crescent Lake, and now resort guests can look forward to even more to enjoy.

A New Lounge Takes Center Stage

Tucked along the waterfront, Hurly-Burly will welcome guests for fun-filled afternoons and glamorous evenings inside a historic seaside theatre with a vibrant BoardWalk story that spans over a century.

During the afternoon, guests can drop by for family-friendly activities like trivia and other games led by a charismatic host. By night, Hurly-Burly will transition into a live music venue, welcoming guests 21-and-over to unwind with classic, coastal-inspired cocktails and tasty light bites, while enjoying a variety of musical entertainment that perfectly complements the BoardWalk’s other unique offerings.

Whether you’re stopping by for a round of daytime trivia or an evening of seaside serenades, Hurly-Burly is the sort of spot you’ll find yourself visiting again and again for both the flavorful refreshments and the lively atmosphere.
