After several weeks of renovation, some of the updated sections in the Screen Door General Store have reopened at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort.
Renovated Screen Door General Store
The Screen Door General Store has been undergoing refurbishment since February 2025. Similar to the renovation currently taking place at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom, the work is taking place in phases. One section of the store can remain open while the others are closed.
While this right side of the store is being refurbished, all of the windows facing the walkway have been covered by black stickers.
The right entrance to the Screen Door General Store has been blocked with rolling planters, and the windows here have also been covered. A white A-frame sign tells guests that the store is still open and points toward the entrance on the left.
Moving inside, refurbishment on the clothing section has now been completed. The theming in this recently reopened area matches the left half of the store that reopened first. The ceiling is now mostly white, with nearly all of the brown wood cross-beams replaced with square-patterned molding. The lights have also been replaced with smaller gold fixtures.
The walls and columns in this section have been painted pale blue and green with off-white accents. The beam on the roof separating the two rooms has also been painted white.
As with the first renovated section, the Screen Door General Store’s usual dark wood flooring has now been replaced with a much lighter wood Herringbone pattern and some tile accents.
All of the merchandise displays are now white, making the space feel much brighter.
One new addition to the store is this white and blue Art of Disney on Demand kiosk. Like the kiosk recently added at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, it allows guests to purchase art and get it shipped home.
So far, this kiosk only has categories for Art of Disney and WonderGround. There is no BoardWalk Inn exclusive art being sold at the time of writing.
The large wooden checkout counter has been replaced with a smaller-sized counter in the same shades of pale green, white, blue, and pink as the walls. The middle panel has a blue oval with some gold filigree and a Mickey icon.
For comparison, above is an image of this same store section before the refurbishment. The floor and checkout counters were all made of dark wood, the merchandise displays were brown, and the light fixtures were more ornate.
The right section of the store has yet to be completed, so it is still blocked off using white construction walls.
The corners of the walls have been blocked with some black tarps. The rolling planters surrounding the entrance on the right side are visible from the store windows.
The refurbishment of the Screen Door General Store is expected to be complete sometime in May 2025, though no exact date has been announced.
