One of my favorite places in Disney World is Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. The resort has a beautiful BoardWalk area that is filled with restaurants, and after a long day in the parks, there’s nothing I love more than walking around and watching the sunset with EPCOT fireworks above.
Changes are coming to the BoardWalk, and while Disney hasn’t made any official announcements, they’ve filed permits that give us a better idea of what’s to come.
Tw permits have been filed for the area, one titled “Project Amazon” and one titled “Project Bubbles.” We’re thinking this is basically Project A and B, so while Amazon and Bbbbles might have something to do with it, it’s likely it’s just what Disney is calling it to keep it a secret.
Project Amazon is set to replace Big River Grille & Brewing Works. This is a pretty big restaurant space, so we’re hoping another restaurant is on the way.
Project Bubbles is slated for the Promenade Fine Art Gallery space. Could another store be coming soon?
Jellyrolls was one of our favorite places on the property, with dueling pianos and a great night out. When it closed, we were devastated, but happy to hear it was moving to another location in Orlando. Nothing has been confirmed for this space either, but it seems like there are a lot of changes happening on the BoardWalk.

That art gallery is nice. Leave it to Disney to not replace an abandoned building (Jellyrolls) but to replace a nice one instead (Art Gallery). Just like Maelstrom/Frozen and Great Movie Ride/MMRR.
Big River Grill and Brewing Works was one my first favorite casual dining experience at Disney World when I was there for a conference. Went back every year I was at Disney. I hope they can capitalize on something similar in nature! Have been disappointed since it closed.
The Boardwalk is our absolute No. 1 resort and we are very happy to hear that something is being done with the open spaces on the Boardwalk. A new casual restaurant is needed, since Flying Fish excellently meets our needs for a fancy night out, and Trattoria al Forno meets our needs for Italian. I would love to see a comedy club go in the Jelly Rolls spot. Or how about an interactive night club, filled with unique trinkets and stories from around the world, with crazy skits and a general purpose theme song? We could call it The Adventures Club!
We’re working with Michelle at SWV and she’s great. Alaskan cruise in May of 2027 and a WDW vacay this September.
It’s our first cruise and she’s been walking us through the process, with patience.
