Disney World’s New BoardWalk Deli To Open Soon?

Shout out to all our former New York and New Jersey residents: The deli sandwiches you’ve been craving – and can’t find down here in Florida – will be arriving soon at the new BoardWalk Deli at Disney World!

 

Sometimes, Disney seems to take forever to complete an announced project. (Looking at you 2017’s Tron announcement!!!)  But in this case, the progress from announcement to slicing of the first sandwich seems to be speeding along.  Disney has posted operational hours for the new BoardWalk Deli beginning Monday, August 15, 2022.  We only got the news about the deli’s arrival in March! Obviously, the posted serving times are subject to change as construction chugs along, but the grand opening appears to be imminent.

 

The new deli will be located alongside the BoardWalk resort, and the BoardWalk Bakery has already closed so work on the new venue, as well as that of The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, can take place. Fans of the ESPN Club were disappointed to see the old barbells and signs had already been taken down to make room for the new eateries as well.  

 

Disney Parks Blog has shared the tentative menu for the new deli, and if, like us, you are missing some of these Northeast delights, you’ll be thrilled with the selections.  Disney says it’s “inspired by the delis of the Northeast region, with a menu that takes you on a road trip of classic sweet and savory flavors from New York to the Jersey Shore.” All of the breads will be baked fresh in-house, and the dill pickles, always wrapped up with sandwiches in New York delis, will be made in-house, too. Specialty coffees will be available to kick-start your park day.

 

Among the proposed selections will be the signature Italian Sub ($11.49) with thinly sliced capicola, sopressata, and pepperoni with provolone, arugula, tomato, arugula pesto, and mayo on fresh-baked ciabatta bread; a Pastrami Reuben ($12.99) topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing on marble rye bread (so iconic!); a roasted chicken sandwich ($10.49) with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and roasted garlic aioli served on ciabatta; a chicken salad wrap ($10.99) with rotisserie chicken, grapes, walnuts, and mayo in a spinach wrap; and a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato-basil soup ($9.99).  Plant-based diners can enjoy the Veggie Crunch Muffaletta ($10.49) with cured and pickled root vegetables, an olive-giardiniera tapenade and plant-based cheese, served on focaccia. Several salads will be offered as well ($9.99-$10.99).

Looking for breakfast?  The deli will be serving house-baked bagels with “a choice of schmear;” sweet breakfast pastries ($3.79-$6.79); warm bagel sandwiches, including an everything bagel sandwich ($8.99) with cage-free eggs, sausage, and cheddar cheese, or a bagel breakfast sandwich ($8.99) with cage-free eggs, bacon, sweet caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese; or a plant-based ciabatta sandwich ($7.49) “egg” Florentine, plant-based cheese, tomato jam, and arugula.

 

As of this posting, it looks like the BoardWalk Deli will be open from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.  That’s especially good news for our former New York and New Jersey friends who are looking for one of those very specific style of breakfast-time egg sandwiches from back home.  (I was wondering…it’s just eggs, bacon and cheese. Why is it so hard for local venues to duplicate that? Maybe we can convince Disney to offer the egg sandwiches on Kaiser rolls as well as bagels for a more authentic Northeast deli egg sandwich?  Just sayin’.) 

 

And while it may not be the BoardWalk Bakery any longer, there will still be plenty of sweet treats available at the new deli, including cannolis ($4.19) that will amazingly be filled to order in a crispy shell stuffed with mascarpone cheese, ricotta, shaved dark chocolate, lemon zest and an adorable Mickey swirl. Blueberry scones with crème fraiche; chocolate-dipped cream puffs; raspberry danishes; brownie cheesecake;  brownies; banana bread; the much-loved Disney “cookies & cream cupcake;” and the 50th Anniversary Celebration Cupcake will all be dished up for you as well.

 

In our house, we are particularly looking forward to what Disney is calling “New Jersey Crumbcake,” recognizable to those of us from the Northeast as the thick, moist yellow cake with sweet cinnamon-crumb topping that is just as thick as the cake, and is so often displayed in the glass cases of diners and bakeries across the tri-state area. And how about the “New York-style Half-moon Cookie, topped with rich chocolate ganache and buttercream,” which is what we former New Yorkers would call a “black and white”? We can’t wait to see whether it will live up to the cakelike consistency with firm frosting that we all knew and loved back home.

 

Here’s hoping that the posted start dates are accurate.  We’ve been hankering for one of those Pastrami Reubens!

If you are planning an early fall trip to Disney World, a bevy of new dining opportunities just opened up for you, especially if you don’t mind heading off property for a terrific meal. Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining program, celebrating its 17th year, is coming back from Aug. 26 through Oct. 2, 2022. 

The Magical Dining program typically offers close to one hundred Orlando-area restaurants at a special price for diners, with the added bonus that a portion of the cost of your meal is donated to local charities.  It’s a chance to experience some of the best restaurants making their home in Central Florida, without breaking the bank, and for the restaurants to show off their talents to new patrons.

 

Guests at Magical Dining meals can enjoy a three-course, prix-fixe dinner for just $40 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Dinner includes the choice of an appetizer, entrée and dessert from a specially curated Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining menu that showcases some of the chef’s favorite dishes at each restaurant. One dollar from each meal will benefit The Able Trust, which works to help expand employment opportunities for people with disabilities.   

 

If you are coming in from out-of-town (or even if you want a local staycation!), Visit Orlando is also featuring Visit Orlando’s Magical Nights, special discounted offers from a number of Orlando hotels, including many that host restaurants participating in Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining program.  

 

While the list of the 2022 participating restaurants isn’t complete yet (more will be added as the start date comes closer and menus are finalized), there are at least four Disney restaurants on this year’s list, with five more Lake Buena Vista area eateries at the surrounding hotels near Disney World. Others aren’t very far away either, near Universal or near I-Drive. With Florida’s recent inclusion in the renowned MICHELIN Guide, there are also several of the MICHELIN Guide’s new honorees among this year’s participants.

 

If you’d like to see DisneyBizJournal’s dining reviews from Il Mulino and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill from last year’s Magical Dining, check here and here.

Different Takes on Disney’s Hulu

 by Ray Keating

News/Analysis

DisneyBizJournal.com

July 19, 2022

 

Depending on who one turns to for an assessment, Hulu is either a leader and an opportunity for Disney, or a potential financial burden.

Comcast still owns 33 percent of Hulu, with Disney controlling the rest, gaining Fox’s 33 percent Hulu stake in the 2019 acquisition of Fox. As it stands now, Comcast has a passive role in Hulu and has agreed to hold that position until 2024. After that, Comcast can force a buyout by Disney based on a total valuation of $27.5 billion – with Comcast then getting more than $9 billion from Disney – or Disney could choose to execute the buyout. That price tag, however, could go higher if an independent party determines that the fair market value is, in fact, higher. This is one of the big-dollar unknowns left behind by Bob Iger.

 

If you read a recent take at CNBC, Hulu is a problem child for Disney, not really fitting in and Disney not offering a clear vision for the service. Indeed, it was emphasized that perhaps Hulu could be sold to Comcast, as opposed to Disney completing its purchase of Hulu from Comcast. However, it’s hard to see how the possible challenges laid out for Hulu with Disney, if accurate, of course, wouldn’t turn out to be much the same for Comcast, which already has the Peacock streaming service.

 

Meanwhile, a recent Hollywood Reporter story offered the following: “At the very least, Disney will be forced to strike a deal with Comcast over the future of Hulu, with the cable giant able to force Disney to buy out its 33 percent stake in 2024 for market value. Given Chapek’s ambitions in streaming, an early buyout could give Disney more optionality in its plans.” An early buyout? Wow. That’s quite a different take.

 

And then there’s a Wall Street Journal article published on July 18 that, based on an analysis done by Antenna, reported Hulu subscriptions growing faster than Disney+ subs. It was noted: “New subscriptions to Hulu have outpaced those of Disney’s flagship streaming platform, Disney+, in 18 of the past 24 months, and total new subscriptions to Hulu have exceeded those to Disney+ in each of the last six quarters…”

 

Indeed, it also was noted in the CNBC story: “Hulu has doubled its total subscribers since 2018. The streaming service continues to churn out critically acclaimed series, including ‘Pen15,’ ‘Dopesick’ and ‘The Dropout.’” 

 

According to the reporting, Disney basically confirmed the data presented in the Journal analysis. So, the assertions that Disney might sell Hulu to Comcast appear pretty absurd.

 

Analysts do seem to be unified in looking for greater convergence between Disney+ and Hulu. Maybe, and it’s unclear as to what that would mean exactly. That question also goes to how distinct Chapek views the Disney brand. He has indicated a willingness to be more expansive, beyond the strictest family-friendly-fare criteria. Yet, there remains plenty of material that is hard to imagine fitting on Disney+, and those also are opportunity-rich areas, which further strengthens Hulu as part of the Disney portfolio.

 

Looking ahead for the near term at least, it’s hard to deny that the Disney bundle – Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu at one price – will help the company gain or keep subscribers across all three streaming services in a tougher economy.

 

Is Hulu a problem child or a valuable asset that’s aiding Disney’s streaming dreams? I strongly lean toward the latter, but the company would benefit from more explicitly showing where it plans to take Hulu, and how it fits in with or alongside Disney+.

Report Causes Big Disney Stir

 by Ray Keating

News/Analysis

DisneyBizJournal.com

July 18, 2022

 

A Business Insider article has caused quite a stir in Disney circles, with the report claiming that former Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger is not pleased with his CEO successor, Bob Chapek. Of course, there’s irony here in that Iger played a big part in Chapek becoming the new CEO in February 2020.

It’s reported that the two men were headed in different directions, with respective teams working against each other, once Chapek became CEO, and Iger was named executive chairman to help Chapek through the transition. Iger’s time at Disney as executive chairman and chairman of the board came to an end this past December.

 

Neither man comes off particularly well in the report, but this ranks as one of the most critical takes on Iger that I’ve read, as so much of the entertainment and business media tend to fawn all over the former Disney CEO.

 

For example, according to Business Insider, Iger seemed to have checked out of the CEO position before officially checking out:

 

“It was Bob Iger's desire to move the timeline up — and if COVID hadn't happened, none of the stuff between [him and Bob Chapek] would have transpired,” said one Disney executive, referring to the friction that developed between the two men ahead of Iger's final exit. “The board was surprised; it was several months before his departure date.”

 

“He got tired of all the things you have to do,” added the Disney exec, who recalled going to Iger with day-to-day business issues in those final years — only to be told that the boss didn't want to engage. “He really wanted to play around with creative and not worry about all the business crap.”

 

Iger backers obviously dispute this, asserting that after Disney+ was launched “the company was in good shape for a handoff.” Interestingly, that doesn’t really answer the criticism.

 

Iger’s public declarations in April 2020 that he was helping Chapek and the company get through the pandemic was not well received by Chapek. For good measure, assorted Disney executives reportedly were not pleased with the timing of Iger’s resignation, especially given that his run was supposed to go through the end of 2021. 

 

Indeed, it’s hard to come away from this article not realizing that Iger botched setting up a succession plan, and annoyed the board with his desire to retire as CEO but still somehow hang around doing things he liked:

 

Iger proposed that he continue to ensure there was a pipeline of content for the company's multiple distribution platforms while Chapek stepped up to manage the other parts of Disney's business, according to the person familiar with Iger's thinking. 

 

The board wasn't thrilled with Iger's proposal and suggested that he consider making Chapek a chief operating officer instead, with Iger remaining as CEO until he was ready to fully relinquish his operational duties. 

 

One of the most telling lines from the story is:

 

The former Disney exec said that in the years leading up to his exit, Iger felt that the board had not fully appreciated his leadership. “He said he was tired of being harangued about [succession] and said, ‘Fine, you guys have someone else run the business.’”

 

And yes, Iger pushed for Chapek.

 

So, what’s the takeaway from this report? Well, Iger’s ego was, or had grown to be, sizeable, and he had an outsized view of his own importance. But I like the following: “Chapek wasn't viewed as a ‘visionary,’ this person added, but nor was Iger at the beginning of his tenure.” 

 

True. Time will tell – as will the inevitable books coming from Disney outsiders and insiders on the transition from one Bob to the next.

Good Eats and Great Music from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

 by Ray Keating

Review

DisneyBizJournal.com

July 17, 2022

 

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival kicked off on July 14, and the fun includes the Eat to the Beat concerts. Even better, the Eat to the Beat dining package combines food and music.

On Sunday, July 17, we grabbed lunch at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue at the American Adventure, and were pleasantly surprised. A previous meal at the Regal Eagle was mundane, particularly suffering from dry food. The barbecue had been overdone. That was not the case this time. 

 

The Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich was tender and juicy. It worked well on the garlic toast, and there is a selection of sauces to top off the sandwich. And yes, the seasoned French fries were a nice accompaniment. By the way, the banana pudding dessert was delicious – thick, creamy, and filled with plenty of banana. 

But this article really isn’t about the food. Instead, it’s about sitting three rows from the stage in the America Gardens Theatre and being treated to a concert by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I’d seen BBVD three times over the years, and they never disappointed. And they didn’t this time. The group’s high-energy, swing music was on full display. 

Was there a problem? Given the restrictions of the Eat to the Beat concerts, their set was only a half-hour. That’s simply not enough BBVD.

If you get a chance to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, take advantage of the opportunity. If you’re in the Disney World area on Monday, July 18, they’ll be on stage in EPCOT once more. If not, check out the tour dates on their website. Of course, it’s hard to beat Big Bad Voodoo Daddy combined with some good eats at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

ESPN+ Price Hike Coming and What About NFL Sunday Ticket?

 by Ray Keating

News/Analysis

DisneyBizJournal.com

July 17, 2022

 

A price hike is coming for ESPN+ subscribers, according to a CNBC report, but not for those who subscribe via the Disney bundle, that is, Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu packaged together.

CNBC noted that the monthly subscription price for ESPN+ will be going from $6.99 per month to $9.99 as of August 23. The annual cost for ESPN+ would go from $69.99 to $99.99. The monthly bundle price will remain at $13.99.

 

ESPN+ has an impressive line-up for sports fans, including NHL hockey games and and PGA Tour Live. 

 

For good measure, Disney remains in the running for NFL Sunday Ticket, which allows viewers to have access to all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. Sunday Ticket always has been on DirecTV, but that deal is due to expire at the end of the 2022 NFL season. The NFL has made clear that it wants a streaming partner, and Disney/ESPN, Apple and Amazon reportedly are in the mix. Also, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said that a decision on NFL Ticket will come before the fall. Rumors swirl that Apple is in front to win, at least for now, as speculation has been quite fluid around this topic for some time now.

 

In addition, the NFL will soon be launching its own NFL+ streaming service.

 

The latest numbers show that ESPN+ has 22.3 million subscribers.

Return of Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue Does Not Disappoint

 by Beth Keating

Review

DisneyBizJournal.com

July 13, 2022

 

Two years ago, when COVID arrived in town, the Pioneer Hall Players were forced to park their stagecoach as Disney temporarily shuttered the doors at their parks. Now, Claire de Lune, Johnny Ringo, Dolly Drew, Six Bits Slocum, Flora Long and Jim Handy are back at Fort Wilderness’s Pioneer Hall, bells a-ringing and feet a-stompin’ to announce their arrival. 

The show originally opened at Disney World in 1974, and for nearly five decades, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue was one of the longest continually running dinner shows in America. 

 

The hour-and-a-half show is a mash-up of Wild West and vaudeville comedy routines, and has returned largely as guests remember, with spruced up scenery, new lighting, and a few script updates. It’s a wonderfully energetic and funny show with its cornball routines and audience participation. We were able to catch one of the late shows this past weekend.

While the production is back and even better than remembered, the same can’t be said of the food. The menu has changed only slightly, but the service was rushed, and despite the fact that the menu is advertised as all you all-you-can-eat old-time fare, the next courses were arriving on the table before our diners had the opportunity to finish the previous course. Definitely not enough time to request a refill on anything. We were gobbling quickly to get our first plate finished. 

Which was probably alright, since the ribs and chicken were a little on the dry side and definitely needed the addition of the bowl of barbecue sauce.  The highlight was the newly added mac-and-cheese, a slightly sweet bowl of cheesy goodness that we assuredly would have asked for more of if there had been time. 

 

The menu itself offered up fried chicken, smoked BBQ pork ribs, tossed green “Hoop” salad with white cheddar cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, fresh-baked loaves of cornbread, and the famous strawberry shortcake, which even gets its own song in the performance.  Guests 21 and older can also enjoy unlimited beer, wine and sangria, and soft drinks are also included.

While the tickets are on the pricey side, and need to be paid in advance, Claire, Six Bits and the troupe will undoubtedly be the highlight of your trip to Disney. And if you’re a local, drop by and grab a washboard and a checkered napkin. It’ll be the most fun you’ll have all week!
