First Look: Hurly-Burly Menu (Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk October 1)

Walt Disney World has released new details about the Hurly-Burly, a new entertainment and dining experience coming to Disney’s BoardWalk. The location is set to open its doors on October 1, 2026. Themed to a historic seaside theater, the Hurly-Burly will offer an all-day menu with shareable bites and nostalgic drinks, along with varied entertainment.

During the afternoon and early evening, Hurly-Burly will welcome guests of all ages, with activities such as trivia and games. Beginning at 9:00 p.m., the experience will shift to live music for guests ages 21 and older, giving adults a new option for an evening on the BoardWalk.

Guests can also grab select beverages without going inside, thanks to a walk-up window at the venue. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink, settling in for some live entertainment, or looking for something to snack on, the new location is designed to offer a little something throughout the day.

Disney has shared a first look at the menu, which includes classic boardwalk-inspired appetizers and small plates, treats, cocktails, and several creative non-alcoholic beverages. Let’s take a look!

Final Thoughts

You may remember that this combined entertainment and dining venue was first announced for the Boardwalk earlier this summer. Overall, I am hopeful that the Hurly-Burly will be a welcome addition to Disney’s Boardwalk. I like that it will offer guests another place to relax and spend time without having to commit to a full table-service meal. The daytime activities should make it an interesting option for families, while the transition to live music after 9:00 p.m. gives the venue an entirely different opportunity for guests ages 21 and older.

There’s also a practical benefit that shouldn’t be overlooked. Much of Disney’s BoardWalk is exposed to the Florida sun, which can make an afternoon stroll especially warm. Having an indoor venue where guests can step inside, grab a drink or bite to eat, and enjoy some entertainment could provide a welcome respite from the heat.

I’m also interested to see how the walk-up window fits into the BoardWalk experience. More places are needed for resort guests to grab a quick bite or beverage to take back to the room or pool. We’ll have to wait until it opens on October 1 to see how everything comes together, but for now, the menu certainly gives us a first taste of what’s to come.
