Disney World is currently undergoing a plethora of changes, including new lands, refurbished attractions, a brand-new hotel, and a few new restaurants. While new things are exciting, changes can also be scary, and fans haven’t held back about sharing what they think of these additions.

Two new dining locations have recently opened, and we’ve received quite a few comments on our Instagram and Facebook about them, with what YOU think! And one location has been received much more positively than the other — let’s dive into what you think!

Let’s start with the newly opened location at Disney’s BoardWalk — the Hurly-Burly. This spot opened up on October 1st with hours from 4 PM to 1 AM. During the day, this space will act as a family-friendly lounge with host-led trivia and games and will transition to a 21+ spot at night with live music performances. Here, guests will be able to enjoy “classic, coastal-inspired cocktails” and dishes “inspired by Italian American favorites and classic boardwalk bites.”

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of negative comments about this spot since its preview and opening. A lot of guests are complaining that this spot is too generic, including @anewhopegirl on Instagram, who mentioned it looks like “a failed cruise line concept.” @chrisottum agreed and wrote, “You want to replace Jelly Rolls? Ok, but make it a worthy successor. This just looks one step above any other generic lounge. Whomever is running the creative side of the design team is missing the creativity, whimsy, and imagination needed to make Disney unique.”

@redwingedreptar also commented on the transformation from Jellyrolls to Hurly-Burly, writing, “I can’t believe they’d massacre Jellyrolls like this. Look what they’ve done to my boy.” @holcos814 said, “I expect more from a Deluxe Resort,” and @docandblondie went so far as to say, “They promised us jazz club and delivered a cafeteria instead.” YIKES.

However, it wasn’t all negative. @midlifeonmainstreet thinks the Hurly-Burly “looks perfect for the Boardwalk!” @kennedyelizalee actually commented on all of the negativity this lounge is receiving, saying, “Why is everyone being so negative? I LOVE it!!” And finally, @lizmrose spoke about its generic look in a positive way: “I don’t know what kind of lounges other people are going to in their daily lives that they think this is generic. I LOVE the aesthetic! The small bites are great options, and having non-alcoholic drinks is a huge bonus! Can’t wait to try it!”

Now, over to the new lounge in the Magic Kingdom — the Diamond Horseshoe! This charming Old West-themed music hall in Liberty Square is acting as a pop-up experience for a limited time with small bites and drinks. So, how does this one bode with the guests?

A lot of the negative comments were actually about the additional alcoholic drinks available in the parks, including @mahaloginger, who said, “Oh goody, more alcohol at a children’s theme park can’t wait for the ruckus to begin.” And Linda Jean commented, “Don’t need to encourage more drinking in the parks.”

Amy Husley-Micheli also spoke negatively about the establishment, saying, “Oh super, another “money raking” in bar. Seems to be the only dining option Disney keeps adding.” And @donnad.321 won’t even be giving it a chance, as they wrote, “Look gross to me – I will not be trying it for sure!!”

But just like the Hurly-Burly, there are always guests looking forward to trying it, including @themagicaldetails who said, “The dirty soda and tostadas are calling my name!!” @followme.tothe.magic and @krosed26 are also excited to try out the new spot, commenting, “Goodness that looks good!!” and “Okay this actually looks great!” respectively. @mickeyinminutes even hopes this spot is so popular that it becomes permanent!

Change is scary, but it doesn’t have to be! The Hurly-Burly at Disney’s BoardWalk and the Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom have both officially OPENED!
