Disney's BoardWalk is about to get its groove back. Hurly-Burly, a brand-new lounge experience, opens on October 1st in the space that longtime fans will recognize as the former home of Jelly Rolls, the beloved dueling piano bar that closed earlier this year.
The concept draws inspiration from what Disney describes as "the golden era of seaside leisure," blending 1920s theming with specialty cocktails, small plates, and live entertainment. True to its name — hurly-burly is an old term for loud commotion and uproar — the spot promises a lively, high-energy atmosphere, with family-friendly entertainment during the day and splashy live music taking over by night.
For many BoardWalk regulars, Jelly Rolls was a one-of-a-kind stop after a long day in the parks, and its closure left a noticeable gap in the resort's entertainment lineup. Hurly-Burly appears designed to fill exactly that void, leaning into the same spirit of fun and audience participation that made its predecessor so popular.
Disney's BoardWalk sits within easy walking distance of EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, making it a natural wind-down destination for park guests. With a full menu already announced, Hurly-Burly is shaping up to be one of the more anticipated new openings on Disney property this fall.
