In case you missed it, Jellyrolls announced earlier this month that it will be leaving Disney’s BoardWalk after 30 years of operation.

Previously, it was said that this location would close in spring of 2025, but now we have more details to share.
Sources close to Jellyrolls have revealed that its final day of operation will be Saturday, April 19th. This isn’t the end of Jellyrolls, it’s just the final night to experience this location on Disney’s BoardWalk. The bar previously said they were “making a move.”

Disney has not released a statement about the move since it was announced. It’s important to note that Jellyrolls is a third-party spot, so it’s not run by Disney or Cast Members directly, which could be the reason for that.

The previous announcement on February 1st was on Instagram and read, “After nearly thirty years on Disney’s Boardwalk, Jellyrolls is making a move! Come celebrate with us into the spring season and keep your eyes on our social media for exciting new updates!”
This isn’t your typical Disney World bar. It’s known as a raucous bar on Disney’s BoardWalk that hosts non-stop dueling pianos and a drink special each night (the “Jellyroll of the Day”). Talented performers are entertaining each night and play anything and everything upon request. The two baby grand pianos are a fixture of the bar.

As always, hours and dates are subject to change, however, Jellyrolls is open from 7 PM to 1:45 AM each night until then for anyone 21 years of age and over. Entertainment begins at 8 PM and goes all the way until closing time. Don’t forget your $22 admission fee! Cast Members can pay $11 every evening and get complimentary admission on Sundays with a valid Walt Disney World Cast ID. DVC Members receive a discount on admission every evening, and Annual Passholders receive a discount on admission Monday–Thursday evenings.
Who’s ready for some entertainment?
While you’re there, be sure to check out their glow drinks and other specialty cocktails. You’ll also find beer, wine, and seltzers if that’s more your thing. Be sure to arrive early if you want to find a seat.

It is so sad that I never got the opportunity to visit Jellyrolls!
Our next trip to Disney is May 2025, so I’ll be a month too late.
Oh well! RIP to Jellyrolls on the Boardwalk!
So many great times here!😢
I went to Jellyrolls for the first time in 2022 & the vibe was everything. I had a ball!! Sad to hear that they’re leaving the boardwalk but hope that they’re moving to a new location close by.
