The refurbishment of Disney's BoardWalk Inn continues inside and out, with work now taking place on the exterior of the guest room buildings.

Over the past week, crews have used high-reach lifts to paint and work on guest room balconies.


Disney's BoardWalk Resort is in the middle of a significant refurbishment that has seen updates to guest rooms, a new lobby coffee shop, a new quick-service deli, and a new table service restaurant under construction.

Sorry, yes. The tea, cake, frilly photos and uppity looking vibe all scream Grand Floridian, not something you’d see at the Boardwalk. Doesn’t really matter as they chose to put it there anyway, but, I stand by my point.

Perhaps it takes so long because they'll be a second floor :)

Maybe Cake Bake Shop will also have random stairways to no where and that explains the 17-year build. I remember when this was announced in 2012. Good times.

Sarah Winchester was very real and you can visit the Winchester Mystery House to this day. Work on the house was not actually continuous and did pause at times.

Remember the urban legend of the woman who thought she would die when construction on her house finished? Maybe something similar is going on with the Cake Bake Shop.

Behold the rarest thing you’ll see at Disney. A lone construction worker in the Cake Bake habitat at Boardwalk!

Not even close to ready for occupancy inside let alone food prep.

Corn dog stand is actually pretty much ready to go. Maybe they are still waiting on staffing or final approvals?

Thank you! It needed to be said! He’s been asked to double his working hours to 2 per day, every other day, with weekends and holidays off. He needs all the hydration he can get in order to finish the job by the 60th anniversary of WDW!

He’s doing the work of an entire construction crew - let the man drink!
