Jellyrolls is gone. Hurly-Burly has a Thursday.
Disney’s BoardWalk has locked the calendar on the lounge that took over the old Jellyrolls room.
Hurly-Burly opens to the public on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026. Disney’s dining page pitches it as light bites, specialty drinks, and live entertainment in a lounge “steeped in boardwalk history,” built around the story of a vintage seaside vaudeville theater. Imagineering packed the walls with props, posters, and backstory you can hunt while you wait for a seat.
The name means tumultuous uproar. They’re not being subtle.
Day crew, then night crew
This is not a single-mode nightclub listing.
Per Disney’s official age rule, families (including kids) are welcome from opening until 9 p.m. Afternoons lean on host-led trivia and games. Starting at 9 p.m., the room is exclusive to guests 21 and older with valid photo ID, and the entertainment shifts to live music, with genres changing nightly. Orlando Shine’s first look describes local talent spanning modern vintage, Motown-era, Top 40, and ’70s–’90s sets.
Disney’s announced operating window, as reported by WDWMagic, is 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. daily. That gives the all-ages portion five hours before the 21+ handoff.
No reservations, so arrival is the strategy
Hurly-Burly does not take Advance Dining Reservations. Instead, WDW News Today reports a Join Walk-Up List option has been added to the venue’s page in the My Disney Experience app. You join while you’re nearby, wander the BoardWalk, and wait for the notification. That’s good news if you hate hunting reservations and less good news if you hate waiting on a debut weekend.
- Opening week will be busy. Go early in the family window, or try a later weeknight once the first crush settles.
- Not staying on Crescent Lake? Sort out your ride before you sort out your cocktail.
- Several cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks are also poured at a walk-up window on the promenade, which is the move if the room is slammed and you still want a Caramel Corn Old Fashioned in hand.
What you’re actually ordering
Shareable BoardWalk plates, not a full dinner. Disney’s menu lists meatballs in tomato gravy, antipasto, mini pretzels with bacon-cheese fondue, tomato pie, oven-roasted shrimp, roast beef sliders, a “Theater Concessions” trio, and mini apple cider doughnuts with miso-caramel sauce. Disney’s dining page lists the venue at $$ ($15–$34.99 per adult); reported dish prices run about $11–$21, with cocktails about $17–$21.
On the drinks side, the menu includes the Caramel Corn Old Fashioned, the Mertini, the La Taquilla Picante spicy margarita, and the Overture in Orange, a frozen non-alcoholic orange-and-cream treat, plus wines and Atlantic Coast-leaning beers.
Why We’re Hyped
A real BoardWalk nightlife replacement with a locked open date, a clean family-to-21+ handoff, and zero reservation theater is the kind of “save this for Thursday” tip OCH readers actually use, whether they live in Dr. Phillips or are already on Crescent Lake.
