Walt Disney Imagineering Files BoardWalk Signage Notice

Overview

• A Walt Disney Imagineering Notice of Commencement filed June 4 lists Design Communications Ltd. as the contractor and identifies signage installation at an address that resolves to Disney’s BoardWalk area.
• Design Communications Ltd. is a frequent Disney signage vendor, and industry reporting treats signage permits as a later-phase milestone that can indicate progress beyond early planning without guaranteeing an imminent announcement.
• Public records still show two unnamed Central Florida Tourism Oversight District projects labeled “Project Amazon” and “Project Bubbles,” which correspond to the former Big River Grille & Brewing Works and the former Promenade Fine Art Gallery respectively, but no official link between those CFTOD entries and the new signage filing has been confirmed.
• Several high‑profile BoardWalk locations remain vacant or under work — Big River closed in January 2024, Jellyrolls closed and began gutting in April 2025, and the Promenade gallery closed in October 2025 — and Disney has not announced future tenants or concepts for those spaces.
• Permits and WDI filings are often the earliest authoritative signals of Disney work, so observers should watch for additional CFTOD entries, building permits, or further Imagineering notices as signs that the BoardWalk refresh is progressing and will affect guest dining and entertainment options near EPCOT.
