Overview
- Hurly‑Burly opened to the public on Oct. 1 and runs family‑friendly hosted programming from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. before converting to a 21+ live‑music lounge from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
- Disney added a 'Join Walk‑Up List' button to the My Disney Experience app on Sept. 30, making same‑day virtual queue access the primary entry method and removing traditional advance dining reservations.
- Walt Disney Imagineering redesigned the former Jellyrolls space as a vintage seaside theater with a raised floor, central performance stage and tiered seating, and the venue debuts an Italian‑American–inspired small‑plates menu plus signature cocktails and mocktails.
- Cast members held a ribbon‑cutting ahead of opening, and Disney held media previews over Sept. 25–26 to introduce the venue's programming lineup and nightly rotating musical acts.
- Guests should expect uncertain availability during the opening period because the app list does not guarantee entry, and limited late‑night transport and parking windows could affect how easily visitors reach or leave the BoardWalk.
