Disney has revealed exciting new experiences coming to Disney’s BoardWalk beginning in late 2026, bringing even more entertainment, dining, and shopping opportunities to one of Walt Disney World Resort’s most beloved destinations.
Known for its nostalgic charm and vibrant waterfront atmosphere, Disney’s BoardWalk has long been a favorite gathering place for guests looking to enjoy dining, nightlife, shopping, and entertainment just steps from EPCOT. Inspired by the classic seaside boardwalks of Atlantic City and Coney Island, the area continues to evolve while maintaining the timeless character that has made it a guest favorite for decades.
Among the biggest additions announced is Hurly-Burly, a new theater-inspired lounge set along the waterfront.
During the day, Hurly-Burly will offer family-friendly activities including trivia, games, and interactive entertainment hosted by lively performers. In the evenings, the venue will transform into an adults-only live music lounge for guests ages 21 and older, featuring coastal-inspired cocktails, light bites, and a variety of musical acts.
Disney also announced that Basin, the popular bath and body retailer, will open a new location on Disney’s BoardWalk. The shop will offer handcrafted soaps, bath bombs, body butters, botanical bath products, and other wellness items. Guests can also enjoy interactive experiences such as creating custom bath tea blends, making their own soap, and personalizing products with a soap embossing station.
And there’s even more on the horizon. Disney has teased a new quick-service dining location coming to the BoardWalk, with additional details expected later this summer.
“Disney’s BoardWalk has always been one of those hidden gems that many guests discover and immediately fall in love with,” said Natali Bohm, owner of Axis Travel Group. “These new additions will give families, couples, and Disney fans even more reasons to spend time there during their vacation. We’re especially excited to see Disney continue investing in experiences that blend entertainment, dining, and immersive storytelling.”
Bohm says announcements like these are exactly why travelers should work with a Disney vacation specialist when planning their trip.
“Disney destinations are constantly evolving, with new attractions, resorts, dining experiences, and special events being announced throughout the year,” Bohm said. “Our team stays on top of every update so our clients can maximize their vacation experience without having to spend hours researching every detail themselves.”
