Disney's BoardWalk Inn lobby refurbishment - January 12 2023
Posted: Thursday January 12, 2023 10:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The lobby refurbishment at Disney's BoardWalk Inn is now underway, with sections of the check-in desks now behind construction walls.


The lobby remains open to guests as usual, with several check-in desks and bell services still available.

It isn't clear how significant the changes will be in the lobby, but it can be assumed that the design will follow recent updates at other resorts, where rows of check-in desks have been replaced with smaller stations for a more relaxed look.

The updates to the BoardWalk Inn lobby are part of a resort-wide refresh, including the new Cake Bake Shop table service restaurant, refurbished guest rooms, and the recently opened Carousel Cofee and BoardWalk Deli.

I need cake more than I need another Holiday Inn Express. And I love free waffles, but still...

Yes. There’s a market demand for one of those things.

YES! They stand to make a lot more money off of DVC than a lease to a third party vendor....

Can you believe a DVC tower ( Poly ) was built faster than this place?

Now that's too much 😅 c'mon this wasn't as long as Tron and Epcot's hole in the center.

I can almost taste the butter cream frosting. No wait...that's joint compound for drywall.

There is some work going on inside finally. Not much that we are able to see but they have begun

It does seem strange to begin interviews when the outside of the building is still insulation and metal studs... The interior finishing will take a great deal of time...especially if they are doing fancy fancy interiors. Though in truth we can't see what is going on inside yet... Looks like at least 6 months to finish considering the roofing materials aren't even on yet....So... Sometime in the Fall I would guess... late most likely....Unless they decide to kick it into gear....

Looking at those benefits, it's no wonder the most basic chocolate chip cookies are $6 each and 6 inch cakes are over $100.

Interviews for what? A second construction worker?

A month later and zero progress. Literally looks exactly the same as the photos from Feb 17th.
