Walt Disney World has officially announced new additions to the BoardWalk, including a lounge called Hurly-Burly, a retail shop named Basin, and an upcoming quick-service restaurant. These developments are set to open starting in late 2026 as part of phase two of the resort’s reimagining plan. Hurly-Burly will operate as a family-friendly venue during the day with trivia and games, transitioning into a live music nightclub for adults after dark. The Basin retail experience offers handcrafted bath products and interactive stations like soap blending and embossing. A new counter-service restaurant is also planned to replace the former Big River Grille location, though details remain pending until later in summer 2026. These projects aim to revitalize the BoardWalk by introducing exciting concepts that preserve its historic charm while attracting both locals and tourists. The announcements mark a significant step forward after months of construction and speculation about vacant venues at the waterfront promenade.
