JellyRolls was one of the last places at Walt Disney World that felt like it belonged to the guests rather than the company.For almost 30 years, the dueling piano bar sat on the west end of Disney’s BoardWalk, doing something no other venue on property attempted. No characters. No IP. No photo op. Just two pianos, two performers, a room full of adults yelling requests, and a night that went wherever the crowd took it. It was loud, it was chaotic, and it built a following that treated it as a required stop on every trip.It closed in the spring of 2025 after nearly three decades. The good news for longtime fans is that JellyRolls is not gone entirely, with plans announced to reopen at a new location in Lake Buena Vista outside Walt Disney World.But the BoardWalk space it left behind sat empty, and the west end of the entertainment district lost its live music anchor.That changes later this year. And based on what Disney just shared, the replacement addresses the one real weakness JellyRolls has always had.Credit: DisneyWhat Is Replacing JellyRolls at DisneyHurly-Burly is a new venue coming to Disney’s BoardWalk, themed to a historic seaside theatre.Disney has described it as a waterfront lounge, and the concept splits the day into two very different experiences.During the afternoon, Hurly-Burly will host family-friendly activities, including trivia and games. That is a meaningful shift from the JellyRolls model, which was a nighttime-only venue.At night, it becomes a live music venue exclusive to guests ages 21 and up, serving coastal-inspired cocktails and light bites, with a rotating lineup of live music designed to complement the BoardWalk’s existing nightlife.Hurly-Burly is set to open in late 2026. Crews have been transforming the exterior of the former JellyRolls, with an awning installed and interior work underway.Credit: DisneyThe Food Is the Real UpgradeHere is the thing JellyRolls never had.Food.For all the affection people had for that room, it was a bar in the most literal sense. You went for the music and the drinks, and if you wanted dinner you handled that somewhere else beforehand. On a BoardWalk that has lost several dining options in recent years, that was a real limitation.Disney has now released a list and photos of the food and beverage items coming to Hurly-Burly. Pricing for specific menu items has not been announced yet, but confirmation that the venue is serving food at all represents a genuine upgrade over what it replaces.Light bites paired with coastal-inspired cocktails is a different proposition than a piano bar with a drink menu. It means guests can actually spend an evening there rather than building the night around a meal somewhere else first.The Small Bites:Meatballs in Tomato Gravy: Veal, pork, and beef meatballs with tomato gravy, stracciatella cheese, Pecorino Romano, and toasted focaccia(Plant-based option available upon request)Antipasto: Sliced meats, Burrata, Pecorino Romano, and marinated vegetablesMini Pretzels with Bacon-Cheese FondueTomato Pie: Focaccia, tomato sauce, oregano, and Pecorino Romano (Plant-based option available upon request)Oven-roasted Shrimp with garlic, herbs, and sweet pepper-onion relishRoast Beef Sliders: Shaved roast beef and horseradish-mustard sour cream on slider rollsTheater Concessions: Trio of meatballs, sugar cookie, and buttered popcornMini Apple Cider Doughnuts with miso-caramel sauceCredit: Disney/Edited: Inside the MagicThe Specialty Alcoholic Beverages Alcoholic BeveragesOverproof Amaretto Sour: Lazzaroni Amaretto Liqueur, Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon, and lemon juiceCaramel Corn Old Fashioned: Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon, caramel corn, and The Bitter Truth Decanter Bitters (Also available at the walk-up window)Cherry-Vodka Limeade: Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Amarena cherry, and cold-pressed lime juice (Also available at the walk-up window)The Atlantic Review: Hangar One Mandarin Blossom Vodka, Cointreau Liqueur, Minute Maid Orange Juice, and Sprite (Also available at the walk-up window)Bubble Brava!: Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur, Italian Amaro, lemon juice, and Viarae Prosecco (Also available at the walk-up window)La Taquilla Picante: Ghost Blanco Tequila, lime juice, orgeat, rose water, and a spiced nutmeg rim (Also available at the walk-up window)Mertini: Plymouth Navy Strength Gin, Dolin Dry Vermouth de Chambéry, and Hella Cocktail Co.

ESPN Club closed. Big River Grille and Brewing Works closed. JellyRolls closed. That is three longtime venues gone from a relatively compact stretch of waterfront.Newer arrivals have filled some of that space. The Cake Bake Shop opened, though it has proven divisive amid complaints about pricing and multiple employee lawsuits alleging wage theft. Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs also joined the lineup.Credit: Disney Parks BlogBut the west end specifically lost its live entertainment anchor when JellyRolls went dark, and nothing replaced it for well over a year.Hurly-Burly restores that.What Else Is Coming to the BoardWalkHurly-Burly is part of a broader set of changes rolling out beginning in late 2026.A new Basin store is coming to the BoardWalk. The retailer already operates a location in the Marketplace at Disney Springs and will offer soaps, bath bombs, body butters, bath salts, and other bath-and-body products.The BoardWalk location will also include interactive experiences. Guests will be able to create custom bath teas, make their own soaps, and personalize purchases using a soap embossing press. Disney has said the store is designed to reflect the BoardWalk’s vintage seaside atmosphere.Disney has also teased a new quick-service restaurant planned for the BoardWalk, with details expected separately.Taken together, that is a lounge, a retail location, and a quick-service restaurant arriving in roughly the same window. After several years of closures without replacements, the BoardWalk is finally filling back in.Credit: Michael, FlickrWhy the Dual-Purpose Model Is Smart For DisneyThe afternoon and evening split is the part of this concept worth watching.JellyRolls generated revenue for a handful of hours each night. Hurly-Burly is designed to be useful for much of the day, with families welcome during daylight hours and a 21-and-up crowd taking over after dark.That is a practical answer to a real problem at the BoardWalk. The district is always busiest in the evening, with plenty of quiet space during the day when guests are in the parks or by the pool.Trivia and games in a themed, air-conditioned room give resort guests a reason to be there in the afternoon. That is a category the BoardWalk has genuinely lacked.What to Expect Next at DisneyHurly-Burly opens in late 2026. Full menus, pricing, and an exact opening date have not been announced.For JellyRolls loyalists, the honest answer is that this is not a replacement in spirit. Dueling pianos are a specific thing, and a rotating live music lineup in a seaside theatre lounge is something else entirely.But the space is coming back to life, live music is returning to the west end of the BoardWalk, and this time there is food.The post Disney World Reveals Food and Drinks for Jellyrolls Replacement appeared first on Inside the Magic.
