Hurly-Burly at BoardWalk to Use Walk-Up List Only
Published September 30, 2026
Hurly-Burly at Disney’s BoardWalk will operate on a walk-up list instead of advance reservations, according to reports published Wednesday, September 30, 2026. A “Join Walk-Up List” button has reportedly appeared on the venue’s page in the My Disney Experience app ahead of its opening tomorrow, Thursday, October 1.
As of Wednesday, September 30, there is no reservation option listed for Hurly-Burly — the walk-up list is the reported path to a table.
That puts Hurly-Burly in the same category as other Disney World locations that seat guests day-of rather than 60 days out. You add your party to the list in My Disney Experience once you are on property, then wait for the notification that your table is ready.
Because the button went live before opening day, guests should be able to join the list from the app on October 1 rather than only at a host stand.
What we know
- Hurly-Burly (Disney’s BoardWalk) — opens Thursday, October 1, 2026
- Seating method — walk-up list, not advance reservations, according to reports

What’s not confirmed
Disney has not confirmed the walk-up-only approach in a public statement, and no official word has been given on whether reservations will be added later. Operating hours, menu details, pricing, and whether the walk-up list opens at a set time each morning or only once the venue begins seating have not been announced.
What it means for your trip
- Don’t hunt for a Hurly-Burly reservation at your 60-day mark — as of September 30 there isn’t one to book. Plan it as a same-day stop instead.
- Join the list from the app the moment you decide you want it, not when you arrive. Walk-up lists at popular new openings tend to stretch fast in the first weeks, and the clock starts when you join, not when you show up.
- BoardWalk is the advantage here: you can join the list, then wander the promenade, ride Skyliner over to EPCOT’s International Gateway, or grab a drink nearby while you wait. That flexibility is what makes walk-up seating workable.
- If your group needs a guaranteed table on a specific night, book a nearby BoardWalk-area restaurant with real reservations as your anchor and treat Hurly-Burly as the bonus.
- Opening weeks are the worst time to bring a hungry toddler to an unproven wait. Eat something first, then join the list.
- If Disney does open reservations later, SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch is built to catch cancellations the second they free up so you can grab one in My Disney Experience.
