FIRST LOOK: We Got To Try Disney World’s NEWEST Lounge Before It Opens

Night owls get ready to party the night away in Disney World because late-night entertainment is FINALLY returning to Disney’s BoardWalk.

Hurly-Burly

The all-new Hurly-Burly lounge officially opens on October 1st, but we got the chance to attend an early preview, so of course, we are bringing you along for the ride as we dive into everything this new space has to offer!

Hurly-Burly is an all-new lounge that lets you step back in time to the “golden era of seaside leisure, offering family entertainment by day and splashy live music by night.” When you approach the building, you’ll notice the walk-up window that serves select cocktails. There are even chairs outside where you can sit to enjoy the drinks you’ve just ordered.

Walk-up window seating

This new experience sits in the home of the former Jellyrolls Dueling Piano Bar that closed permanently back in 2025. Before its closure, Jellyrolls made the BoardWalk one of the only places in Disney World to experience some late-night fun, which is why we are thrilled to have Hurly-Burly opening up.

This lounge will offer family entertainment every day until 9 PM. But then after 9 PM, it turns into an adults-only 21+ experience full of live music and specialty drinks. Let’s get into everything you can expect from a night at Hurly-Burly.

Atmosphere

When you step inside, you’re welcomed to the Hurly-Burly Theatre.

Welcome to the Hurly-Burly Theatre

Seating inside really does look like a turn-of-the-century lounge, complete with booths with velvet backs. This is a WHOLE vibe, and we’re feeling it.

This is the vibe

There are also cushy chairs and tables you can sit at.

Plenty of seating

We took a little time to look around and just enjoy the atmosphere. You’ll see posters that seem to have come right out of that era.

Take time to look around

You’ll even see letters of congratulations on the wall.

This display is giving us The Life of a Showgirl vibes.

Wonder who those belonged to?

As always, Disney Imagineers didn’t skimp on the details.

It’s all in the details

Here’s a first look at the menu. Disney already told us all about the food and drinks coming to Hurly-Burly, but seeing the actual paper menu is nice!

Okay, now let’s talk about the REALLY important stuff: the food and drinks!

Entertainment

In terms of Entertainment, you can expect live bands on the stage. We were treated to several different acts, including some singers that did a jazzy version of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.”

The entertainment here is top-notch, as we expected.

Food and Drinks

We’ll be updating this post soon with the foods and drinks we got to try during our visit, so check back with this post soon!

We really enjoyed attending this preview of Hurly-Burly, and we cannot wait for everyone to experience this new space when it officially opens on October 1st. We will continue to bring you all of the Disney World news, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog so you never miss anything!

On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of Hurly-Burly.
