Balcony Dividers Removed During BoardWalk Villas Refurbishment, Work Continues on Cake Bake Shop

Multiple locations around Dinsey’s BoardWalk are undergoing construction — the Villas facade, Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs stand, and Cake Bake Shop.

Disney’s BoardWalk Villas

In April, much of the paneling on this section of the resort’s façade was stripped away for refurbishment. Now most of the dividers between balconies have been completely removed.

A multi-story building with large windows is covered in scaffolding for construction work. Four workers are visible on the scaffolding, with one person standing below wearing a safety vest.

The white balconies and some columns remain, as well as the sliding glass doors. Crews have replaced plywood paneling on the walls.

A few crew members were working at the top of the scaffolding.

Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs

A food stand named "Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs" with a blue and white striped awning is partially obscured by tall potted plants on a wooden boardwalk. The sky is overcast.

We haven’t seen many changes to the Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs stand since awnings were installed. However, new blue curtains are covering the front of the building.

A storefront with a sign that says "Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs," accompanied by smaller signs for "Lemonade" and "Cotton Candy." The exterior features blue and white striped awnings.

These curtains are likely going to be used to cover the front window when the stand is closed.

The Cake Bake Shop

A building under construction is surrounded by white barricades with posters on them. Several people are walking on the wooden boardwalk nearby. A tree and adjacent buildings are visible in the background.

Crews continue working on the roofing of The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. More sheathing has been installed on the slanted roofs since our last update.

A man and a woman walk along a boardwalk near a house under construction. Workers in neon shirts are on site, with a sign that says "Sea Foam Pathway" in the background.

We noticed a new white pipe at the corner of the building. Electricians were on site during our most recent visit.

A partially constructed building with a hexagonal upper structure and multiple windows, covered in blue and gray weatherproofing material. Scaffolding and construction materials are visible at the base.

Fascia has been installed along the edge of all three roofs. The fascia around the first roof is a pale yellow color.

A partially constructed house with multiple windows and a conical roof, surrounded by trees and a temporary barrier. The building exterior shows insulation and some unfinished sections.

More white pipes were on other corners of the building. These curve at the top. They may be the beginnings of a support structure for lights.

A partially constructed building facade with an exposed plywood section, likely awaiting further construction. A small camera is installed at the center of the plywood area.

The plywood above the bakery entrance has a new rectangular hole with hardware around the edges. This may be for electrical wiring to illuminate the future sign.

BoardWalk Damage

Outside the Cake Bake Shop, we noticed some damaged boards on the actual boardwalk.

A green recycling bin and a black trash bin are placed on a wooden boardwalk with visible stains. A yellow caution cone and white chairs and tables are seen in the background.

It looks like there was something sitting here for a long time, through the rain. It’s left the boards stained with several holes and square outlines.

The Friendship boat dock was also recently refurbished.
