The aqua paneling has been restored and scaffolding has come down at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas, following it being stripped from the facade.

Disney’s BoardWalk Villas

The aqua-colored boards of the “Crest o’ the Wave” facade are back, surrounded by white balconies. Crews have reinstalled several balcony dividers and awnings at the top of the building.

Crew members were still completing work on a few balconies when we visited. Some of the aqua boards still need to be repainted.

Holes remain in the facade where lights will be reinstalled.

We heard Disney Vacation Club Cast Members discussing safety protocols for showings of the DVC showroom while construction is finishing.

Crew members were also actively working on The Cake Bake Shop, which is set to open this year after a delay. A week ago, signs for the restaurant and bakery were installed.

The signs feature shiny gold filigree. Holes above the signs are likely lights.

More gray paneling covers the weather-proof sheathing of the building’s tower. This was formerly the ESPN Club.

A crew member was installing plywood underneath one sign. This will be the main entrance to the table-service restaurant, while the other will lead to the quick-service bakery.

Crews have also added sheathing and paneling around the pipes we previously noted.

Pictured above is a pipe sticking out of yellow paneling.

The pipes on the other side haven’t been enclosed but sit in steel frames.

The paneling creates columns every couple of yards on the facade.

A crew member on this side was installing paneling.

Compare to the concept art below.

An opening date for The Cake Bake Shop has not been announced.
