Disney’s BoardWalk gets a new two-speed hangout on October 1. Hurly-Burly welcomes families for afternoon games, then switches to live music for guests age 21 and older beginning at 9 p.m.
No reservation hunt is required—or possible. The former Jellyrolls space will be walk-up only, with small plates and drinks inside plus select beverages from a BoardWalk-facing window.

Hurly-Burly Opens October 1
Hurly-Burly opens Thursday, October 1, 2026 at Disney’s BoardWalk. It occupies the seaside-theater space that previously housed Jellyrolls, bringing live entertainment back to that part of the resort district with a different format.
The lounge does not accept reservations. Guests join as walk-ups, and every offering remains subject to change and availability. That makes it easier to add spontaneously, but it also means a table is not guaranteed at a popular time.
Families Get the Afternoon; Adults Get the Night
Afternoons are designed around family-friendly trivia and games. Beginning at 9 p.m., the venue shifts to live music for guests age 21 and older.
Families should arrive early enough to order, eat, and enjoy the daytime activities before the age restriction begins. Adults looking for the nightlife version can plan dinner elsewhere around Crescent Lake, then join the walk-up queue closer to the music.
The Menu Is Built for Sharing, Not a Full Dinner Reservation
The opening menu leans toward small plates: meatballs, antipasto, pretzels with bacon-cheese fondue, tomato pie, shrimp, roast beef sliders, a playful concessions plate, and apple cider doughnuts. Plant-based versions of the meatballs and tomato pie are available on request.
Prices checked September 1 include $15 meatballs, an $11 tomato pie, and $11 mini apple cider doughnuts. Nonalcoholic specialties run from $6.49 to $6.99, while the listed cocktails range from $17 to $21. Recheck the live menu because prices and availability can change.
The walk-up window is the lower-commitment option. It serves select drinks, including Caramel Corn Cold Brew and Cherry Marquee, along with several cocktails, so a BoardWalk stroll does not require waiting for a table.
How to Plan a Hurly-Burly Visit
- With children: Visit during the afternoon and allow time to finish before the 9 p.m. age change.
- For live music: Treat 9 p.m. as the start of the adults-only version, not a guaranteed seating time.
- For one drink: Try the exterior window instead of committing to the lounge wait.
- For dinner: Pair small plates here with another Crescent Lake meal if your group wants full entrées.
