NEW Closure Announced For Disney World Hotel

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is a great hotel to stay at thanks to its proximity to EPCOT and several other EPCOT-area hotels. This not only gives you access to EPCOT and the Skyliner, but also to many other hotels and restaurants in the area. However, we’ve got a word of warning if you’ll be staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn soon.

BoardWalk

Now, there’s already a bit of construction happening around Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, but now, we’ve got yet another closure to tell you about at this resort.

The Village Green area of Disney’s BoardWalk Inn will be closed from August 10th through September 4th. This is the spot where you would normally watch Movie Under The Stars, do yoga, attend arts and crafts classes, and more. It’s also one of the outdoor spaces at the hotel where you’ll see a Christmas tree during the holidays.

The Village Green

The closure is a pretty short one, but while the Village Green is closed, those other activities will be moved to other areas of the hotel. You’ll want to ask a Cast Member for information, but we also expect that the locations will be listed on the hotel’s activity guide, and you may even see signs at the hotel pointing you in the right direction for those activities.

Note that the Luna Park Pool area at the hotel will also close in 2027 from January 11th through April 2027. This will include the Luna Park Pool, the Luna Park Crazy Play Area, and Leaping Horse Libations. However, other pools at the hotel will remain open for use by guests.

Meanwhile, the BoardWalk itself is also busy with some big updates. The old Jellyrolls building is being transformed into a new lounge, Hurly-Burly, which will have family-friendly activities during the day and become an over-18 live music venue at night.

Disney also confirmed the BoardWalk is getting its own Basin shop, similar to the one at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney Springs. A new quick-service dining spot is also coming to the area.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for more closures in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
