Former Jellyrolls at Disney’s BoardWalk Gutted to Studs as Overhaul Advances

The work signals a full rethink of the BoardWalk’s west end during the resort’s 2026 refurbishment window.

Overview

  • Crews at the closed dueling piano bar have removed exterior signs and the left-side façade and cleared the interior to bare studs behind new construction walls.
  • Disney has not named a replacement for the space, with the project proceeding during the BoardWalk Inn refurbishment that runs through 2026.
  • The depth of demolition points to concrete redevelopment plans, though Disney has not confirmed any new concept or tenant.
  • Jellyrolls ended its nearly 30-year run on April 19, 2025, and the operator says a new location will open later this year.
  • Successive west-end closures, including Big River Grille in early 2024, have cut late-night options on the promenade and set the stage for a broader refresh.
