New Permits and Demolition Signal BoardWalk Overhaul at Disney World

Opaque filings hint at coordinated projects with Disney silent on tenants and timelines.

Overview

  • Two Central Florida Tourism Oversight District filings surfaced Friday naming Project Amazon for the former Big River Grille site and Project Bubbles for the former Promenade Fine Art Gallery at Disney’s BoardWalk.
  • Crews have been gutting the former Jellyrolls dueling piano bar this week, yet that address does not appear under a named project in the public permit database.
  • BlogMickey’s review of the district’s address database maps Project Bubbles to a roughly 2,300‑square‑foot space near the lobby and places Project Amazon in the old brewpub footprint along the promenade.
  • The oversight district’s database records permits for construction on Disney property, which confirms active planning but uses opaque codenames and does not indicate concepts or opening windows.
  • The push follows closures in 2024 and 2025 that reduced late‑night choices on Crescent Lake, so guests now encounter construction walls and fewer options as outlets estimate a 12–18 month refresh that has not been confirmed by Disney.
