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.

to tone down the purple and make it look like something was happening I would guess....I have never seen that done before.....Maybe it is some sort of new proprietary Cake Bake Shop coating to seal in the freshness? lol

Hold it. They actually painted EPS boards?????? WHY??????

We were in a big remodel of a house down here in South Florida, and the contractor at one point had them paint the building just to distract from the fact that none of the important things had happened and he had not paid any of the subs...it was the cheapest thing he could do to make it look like the project was moving. This reminds me of that...... Hoping not though....The Corn Dog stand looks great though....

We're staying there next week, so I don't love our odds. I'm fine with the food trucks, but my husband is still holding out for corn dogs. 🤣

Meant to be this summer, last I’d heard. So they can stop bringing in random food trucks.

Not sure, but it looks very close to done

At this point, I might be more interested in the corn dog stand than the cake shop; at least the corn dog stand seems like it might actually open at some point. Any word on its opening date?

Funny, because that was exactly my thought as I watched them paint it

Who knows at this point...I think the paint is a distraction to make it look like something is actually happening....lol

I'm presuming that that's just a layer of grey mold that has overtaken the building.

At least the puple is most painted over. Does tgis mean the building will be receiving a "dryvit" type coating snd not a "typical" New England clap board or shingle exterior?

Still arguing with the insurance company after all these years. Poor bastards.

The poor corn dog stand was just an innocent victim of circumstance.
