Hurly-Burly Hours Confirmed at Disney’s BoardWalk

Disney’s BoardWalk is getting its late-night option back. Disney has confirmed the Hurly-Burly hours ahead of the lounge’s October 1, 2026 opening: daily from 4pm to 1am, with 21-and-over live music programming starting at 9pm.

That 1am close is the number worth circling. It puts Hurly-Burly back in the same late-night territory Jellyrolls held on the promenade before it closed in April 2025, and it gives the BoardWalk a real reason to stay busy after the fireworks let out.

Here’s the full breakdown: the daily schedule, the menu with prices, and how to plan a night there.

Quick Summary

• Opens: October 1, 2026 at Disney’s BoardWalk
• Hours: Daily, 4pm to 1am
• All-ages window: 4pm to 9pm, with trivia and games
• 21-and-over: Live music programming begins at 9pm
• Food: Shareable small plates, $11 to $21
• Drinks: Cocktails $17 to $21, wine from $11, beer $8.50 to $13
• Walk-up window: Select cocktails available on the promenade

Hurly-Burly Hours and What They Mean

The schedule is simple: 4pm to 1am, every day.

Disney had already said the 21-and-over live music programming would begin at 9pm, with afternoon hours covering family-friendly trivia and games. The 4pm opening means the all-ages daytime portion runs for a full five hours before the evening transition.

That’s a longer family window than a lot of people expected. If you’re traveling with kids and want to see the space, you have from 4pm to 9pm to do it.

Why the 1am Close Matters

Walt Disney World does not have many places to be at midnight. Park hours end, most table service restaurants close well before then, and your options shrink fast.

The 1am closing time gives the BoardWalk a legitimate late-night spot again after Jellyrolls closed in April 2025. If you’re staying at the BoardWalk, the Yacht and Beach Club, or the Swan and Dolphin, you can walk there and walk home.

The Food Menu and Prices

The menu leans into shareable small plates with a boardwalk-classic feel. Here’s what’s on it:

• Meatballs in Tomato Gravy — $15
• Roast Beef Sliders — $17
• Oven-Roasted Shrimp — $19
• Antipasto — $21
• Mini Pretzels with Bacon-Cheese Fondue — $12
• Tomato Pie — $11
• Theater Concessions — a trio of meatballs, sugar cookie, and buttered popcorn, $12
• Mini Apple Cider Doughnuts with miso-caramel sauce — $11

Plant-based options are available on request for select items.

For a small-plates lounge at a deluxe resort, those prices land about where you’d expect. Two or three plates split between two people works as a light dinner. It is not a replacement for a full table service meal, and it isn’t priced like one either.

The Drink Menu

The cocktail list leans coastal and theatrical. Standouts include:

• Mertini — a navy strength gin martini, $19
• Overproof Amaretto Sour with Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon, $19
• Road to Fame — an Atlantic Coast-inspired whiskey sour, $21
• La Taquilla Picante — a spicy margarita with a spiced nutmeg rim, $18

Several cocktails are also available at a walk-up window on the promenade, including the Caramel Corn Old Fashioned ($21) and the Cherry-Vodka Limeade ($17). That window is the underrated part of this whole announcement. You can grab a drink and keep walking the BoardWalk instead of committing to a table.

Non-Alcoholic Options

• Overture in Orange — frozen orange juice and sweet cream, $6.99
• Caramel Corn Cold Brew — $6.99
• Cherry Marquee lemonade — $6.49

Wine is available by the glass from $11, and beers run $8.50 to $13, covering Atlantic Coast craft options alongside classic lagers.

How to Plan a Night at Hurly-Burly

A few practical tips based on how the BoardWalk usually flows:

• Go early if you have kids. The 4pm to 9pm window is your only shot, and 9pm comes fast
• Go late if you don’t. The live music starts at 9pm, and the crowd turns over after EPCOT closes
• Walk, don’t drive. Parking at BoardWalk is for resort guests, but you can reach it on foot from EPCOT’s International Gateway or by Friendship boat
• Use the walk-up window when the lounge is packed and you just want a drink
• Pair it with an EPCOT night. Leaving through International Gateway after a festival evening puts you at the BoardWalk in about ten minutes

Is It Worth Your Night?

If you’re staying in the EPCOT resort area, yes. Walkable late-night options are rare at Walt Disney World, and a 1am close on the promenade fills a gap that’s been open since Jellyrolls shut down.

If you’re staying across property, it’s a harder sell on a short trip. Getting there and back late is doable but slow, and a Disney Springs night gives you more variety for the same effort.

The Bottom Line

The confirmed Hurly-Burly hours are 4pm to 1am daily, with family-friendly programming until 9pm and 21-and-over live music after. The lounge opens October 1 at Disney’s BoardWalk with small plates from $11 to $21 and cocktails in the high teens to low twenties.

Build it into an EPCOT evening, bring the family early or come solo late, and take advantage of the promenade walk-up window when the room is full.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
