Disney World is pretty magical, even during the day.
Disney’s BoardWalk at night
But when it’s dark, and all the lights are low, the resort REALLY comes alive. First, Spaceship Earth literally has dancing lights all over it — and it’s INCREDIBLE. Then there are the nighttime shows like Luminous “The Symphony of Us” in EPCOT, Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, and Fantasmic! and Wonderful World of Animation at Hollywood Studios. But did you ever think you’d want to see a RESTAURANT at night in Disney World? Well, you may want to when Disney’s newest restaurant opens up!
So we’ve been following the progress of The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, which will be (we hope) opening soon on Disney’s BoardWalk. This restaurant has been under construction for A WHILE, and its opening has been delayed. Now that we know more about other locations of The Cake Bake Shop, we really really need to get in there ASAP (baked goods? pastries? an afternoon tea service? SIGN US UP!).
The Cake Bake Shop construction
Well, we recently visited the BoardWalk at night, and we got a first look at The Cake Bake Shop, all lit up at night. Let’s just say it looks like the sign was visited by Tinker Bell herself because it’s loaded with sparkles and pixie dust. It’s magical!
All lit up
Here’s a closer look at it all lit up. It’s BEAUTIFUL.
So pretty
This location has to be getting close to opening soon, right? We noticed back in May that the location had posted job openings, and that’s always a sign that a restaurant is closer to its opening day. However, we still don’t have an exact timeline of when to expect the restaurant to open. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for opening details, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

This one is a reflection of just how slow construction at WDW has become. There is normal construction pace and then there’s Disney construction pace. It seems like an eternity ago that the ESPN Zone closed and work began on this. I would think at this point that Gwendolyn Rogers might regret even doing it.
