Jellyrolls Closing

Hey Disney Vacationers! Jellyrolls Orlando has announced that it will be closing its iconic dueling piano bar at Disney’s BoardWalk after nearly 30 years of operation. While an exact closing date has not been confirmed, Jellyrolls has stated it will remain open into the “spring season,” suggesting a possible summer closure. Let’s look at what we know so far about Jellyrolls closing.

Official Announcement from Jellyrolls

Jellyrolls Orlando shared the following statement:

“After nearly thirty years on Disney’s Boardwalk, Jellyrolls is making a move! Come celebrate with us into the spring season and keep your eyes on our social media for exciting new updates!”

At this time, no additional details about a new location have been provided on the Jellyrolls website.

What’s Next for Jellyrolls?

According to journalist Scott Gustin, Jellyrolls’ new location will not be on Walt Disney World property. This means that fans of the dueling piano experience may have to travel offsite to visit Jellyrolls in the future.

A Larger Overhaul of Disney’s BoardWalk?

Jellyrolls closing may be part of a bigger project to refresh Disney’s BoardWalk. In recent years, several major changes have taken place:

  • ESPN Club closed and was replaced by The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers
  • BoardWalk Deli was refurbished
  • BoardWalk Ice Cream was refurbished
  • Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs was added
  • Screen Door General Store is currently under refurbishment
  • Big River Grill and Brewing Works closed (a replacement has yet to be announced)

Could a Jazz Club Replace Jellyrolls?

Rumors suggest that Disney may introduce a jazz club in place of Jellyrolls. This would align with the ongoing shift toward a 1920s aesthetic at Disney’s BoardWalk. The 1920s, also known as the “Jazz Age,” was a defining era for American music and culture.

Disney has already found success with jazz-themed clubs on its cruise ships. Bringing a similar concept to Walt Disney World could attract both new and returning guests who enjoy live music and an immersive atmosphere.

Final Thoughts

Jellyrolls closing marks the end of an era for Disney’s BoardWalk, but it could also signal exciting new developments. Whether Disney introduces a jazz club or another entertainment venue, the future of the BoardWalk is clearly evolving. Fans of Jellyrolls should take the opportunity to visit before its final curtain call in the coming months.

Stay tuned for more updates on the future of Jellyrolls and Disney’s BoardWalk as details emerge.
