Brilliant. When I saw this article in my inbox I was really looking forward to the read and enjoyed every word. The Boardwalk is our favorite so I’m really interested in getting some life back on that DVC side. I will miss the gallery. It was always fun to stroll around and day dream about purchasing the $30,000 custom Snow White table.

Molasses!

As much as I feel the area would benefit from a sports bar/restaurant as well as a bar/lounge like Geyser Point or Wailulu that can be kid-friendly but let parents feel like “adults”, the bachelorette theme idea took over my excitement! I am far from a bachelorette anymore, but another license to print money is to market towards girls trips! I travel at least annually to Hawaii with friends who live scattered across the US. We would absolutely love to meet up at WDW (have been talking about it for years) and a champagne bar paired with Cake Bake Shop would put that idea into motion!

My money is on Bath & Body Works for Project Bubbles, with MJ’s chimp-themed store as a second…capitalizing on the Michael biopic popularity ;). Besides the Mando/Grogu products, don’t forget they also have Disney Princess products!

Totally agree–this D23 is absolutely going to be fleshing out details about last Expo’s announcements, along with singles and doubles.

I am still skeptical that restaurants on the other side of the country meet the bar for D23. If this were a similar project at Disneyland Hotel, I’d be more inclined to think it might get some time. Just based on where progress already is, I’d be somewhat surprised if they wait until August for an announcement–feels like this should be much sooner.

Guess we shall see!

More likely would be a bunch of singles and doubles as you like to say. Announcing all three Boardwalk replacement projects at once seems like a single.

Literally laughed out loud at this.

Can’t wait for Chimpanz-EO, a new monkey-themed bar from the minds of Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas.
