New experiences are set to open at Disney’s BoardWalk starting in late 2026. Known for its timeless charm and lively waterfront atmosphere, the BoardWalk is inspired by historic coastal promenades such as those in Atlantic City and Coney Island. This favorite destination along Crescent Lake blends dining, shopping, and nightlife, making it a versatile spot for relaxation and entertainment.

These new additions continue the evolution of Disney’s BoardWalk, bringing fresh excitement while preserving the cherished ambiance. Whether staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn or enjoying a night out after visiting EPCOT next door, guests can expect plenty of enchanting experiences awaiting discovery.

A New Lounge Takes Center Stage

Hurly-Burly, a new lounge nestled along the waterfront, will welcome guests in an iconic historic seaside theatre setting. By day, it will offer family-friendly fun like trivia and games hosted by a charismatic entertainer. At night, it transforms into a live music venue for guests aged 21 and over, serving classic coastal-inspired cocktails, light bites, and a range of musical performances that complement the BoardWalk’s lively atmosphere.

Hurly-Burly is designed to be a favorite spot for repeated visits, combining flavorful refreshments with a vibrant setting for daytime and evening enjoyment.

Guests can explore a curated selection of handcrafted products made with quality natural ingredients, including soaps, botanical bath salts, bath bombs, body butters, lip salves, shampoo and conditioner bars, among others.

Interactive features make this location especially unique, including a custom bath tea blending counter, a make-your-own-soap station, and a soap embossing press that adds a personalized finishing touch to purchases.
