Jellyrolls, a beloved entertainment venue on Disney’s BoardWalk, has announced its upcoming closure in 2025. Known for its dueling piano performances and lively atmosphere, this adults-only spot has been a favorite for nearly three decades.
The news of the closure has sparked interest among Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members and fans curious about the future of the BoardWalk area. Here’s what we know about the closure, Jellyrolls’ history, and the evolving landscape of Disney’s BoardWalk.
The Closure Announcement
Via an Instagram post, Jellyrolls revealed that it will shut its doors later this year. While there’s no official closing date yet, the announcement invited fans to continue celebrating the venue into the spring season and hinted at potential updates to come.
According to reports, if Jellyrolls does relocate, it is unlikely to remain on Walt Disney World property. For longtime fans, this marks the end of an era for an entertainment staple that played a significant role in the BoardWalk’s nightlife experience.
A Look Back at Jellyrolls’ Legacy
First opening nearly 30 years ago, Jellyrolls has provided guests with an interactive and music-filled evening. The club is famous for its dueling piano performances, where talented musicians take audience requests and create an unforgettable show. Open to guests aged 21 and older, the venue operated most nights with a cover charge and a discount for DVC members.
Jellyrolls has been a unique offering on Disney’s BoardWalk, providing a vibrant nightlife option alongside other venues like the Atlantic Dance Hall. Its departure will leave a notable gap in the lineup of adult-focused activities in the area.
Changes on Disney’s BoardWalk
The closure of Jellyrolls is part of broader changes happening on Disney’s BoardWalk. Over the past few years, the area has undergone transformations that include new dining options and venue closures. Iconic spots like the ESPN Club and Ample Hills Creamery have been replaced by The Cake Bake Shop and other updated eateries.
While change is always a part of Disney’s evolution, it does reshape the identity of the BoardWalk. The closure of Jellyrolls may signal further updates to come as Disney continues to redefine the area’s offerings.
Conclusion
Jellyrolls’ closure marks the end of a nearly 30-year chapter for Disney’s BoardWalk. For fans, it’s a moment to reflect on the cherished memories created in this venue.
