Disney’s Boardwalk Late May 2024 Updates (Cake Bake Sign, Facade Paint, and More)
On a recent visit to Disney’s Boardwalk, we found a few new updates, including a new sign installed for the Cake Bake Shop, fresh paint, and more! As we approach summer, it looks like we will be able to enjoy both cake and corn dogs sooner rather than later, which is much more than we could have hoped for this time last year.
Speaking of last year, our 2023 update timeline has gotten so long that it’s become difficult to update. Going forward, we’ll post updates like this. You can refer to the old timeline for before-and-after photos of what’s already happened.
All the photos from this visit are from Memorial Day Weekend. We visited the Boardwalk on Friday afternoon, and I was surprised to find the entire area almost empty. However, we returned Saturday evening and found it packed. Presumably, the holiday crowds rolled in overnight.
New Cake Bake Shop Sign Installed
We’ll start with the most anticipated news. The Cake Bake Shop signage has been installed. It still looks like one sign might be over the shop’s grab-and-go section, and the other entrance will be for the restaurant. Of course, that’s just my speculation, and I’ve been wrong before.
Regardless, the signage is beautiful, gold, and elegant. It looks pretty when the sun hits it in the evening. Does it go with the look and feel of the Boardwalk? I don’t think so. Disney’s Boardwalk is a busy place. So we will see.
Blue Ribbon Corn Dog Progress
We took photos of the signage for the Corn Dog stand the day it was installed (the first week of May). It’s hard to tell the status, but maybe soon? (As a follow-up, Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs finally opened in August of 2024.)
It looks like it’s ready to go from the outside.
Around the Boardwalk
More new wood slats have been installed along the Boardwalk.
Everything looks good.
The Crest o’ the Wave facade is being repainted. I expect this scaffolding to come down within the next week or so. Unfortunately, we still don’t know what will replace the former Big River Grille that closed last year.
Lastly, we saw another new paint job for one of the Disney FriendShips. This one reminded me of a Mallard duck.
