New Exterior Sign Appears at BoardWalk Jazz Club

Published September 29, 2026

The Hurly-Burly Jazz Club at Disney’s BoardWalk has received a large new exterior sign, according to reports published Tuesday, September 29, 2026. The sign runs along one side of the building, just below the roofline gutters, and reads “Eat, Drink, and Be Maritime!”

As of Tuesday, September 29, the venue is described as opening soon, and the signage is the visible construction progress — not an opening. Disney has not announced an opening date in the coverage available.

The lettering is tall, dark teal, and outlined in gold — a finish detail that typically lands late in a build, which is why sign installs tend to read as a milestone rather than a schedule.

What we know

• Hurly-Burly Jazz Club (Disney’s BoardWalk, Walt Disney World) — a new exterior sign has reportedly been installed.
• Placement — along one side of the building, beneath the roof’s gutters.
• Design — tall letters in dark teal with gold outlines.
• Wording — “Eat, Drink, and Be Maritime!”
• Status — reportedly opening soon; no date reported.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not confirmed an opening date, operating hours, a menu, pricing, whether the club will take Advance Dining Reservations or run as a walk-up lounge, or whether entertainment will be ticketed or included. Nothing about the sign tells you which of those it will be, and none of it appears in the reporting.

What it means for your trip

Don’t restructure a BoardWalk night around this yet. If your trip is close, plan your evening the way you would today — Boardwalk and the Epcot-resort-area walkway already give you a short stroll to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, so a new lounge is upside, not a load-bearing piece of your itinerary.

If you’re planning further out, the thing to watch is the booking model. A sit-down jazz club with reservations would open on the standard Advance Dining Reservations clock — 60 days before arrival, 6:00 AM Eastern in My Disney Experience — which is a different alarm than the 7:00 AM Lightning Lane Multi Pass window. New BoardWalk venues also tend to draw heavy early interest from Deluxe guests already staying steps away, so a first-week table is unlikely to be casual.

If it does open with reservations, a dining Drop Watch is the low-effort play: you set the date and party size once and get pinged when a cancellation frees a slot, then book it yourself in My Disney Experience.

For now, treat “sign is up” as what it is — progress on the building, not a date on your calendar.
