Recent reporting on the recent Tiki-a-Go-Go event in Orlando by slammie.com reveals that Don the Beachcomber has a new bar concept and three upcoming locations in Florida.
“First on the agenda was the previously announced build-out planned for Hamlin Town Center, just north of Disney World, which has moved up on the schedule slightly to summer 2025,” the report states.
“We plan to break ground relatively soon,” said Justin Peterson, the creative director. “When that opens, it will be the crown jewel in our collection.”
“Architectural renderings were first revealed last August at Tiki Oasis, along with concept sketches by Tiki Diablo. Several of these images were also shared on the official website.”
“Danny has done a good job trying to visualize what the inside is going to look like,” Peterson said. At Tiki-a-Go-Go, we also saw several updated renderings of the outside. Peterson said it will be a “beautiful building with plenty of outdoor space for live music and live events.”
Peterson emphasized the location’s proximity to Disney World—so close the south-facing outdoor patio will allow guests to see the nightly fireworks at the Magic Kingdom.
“It’s going to be something really special,” Peterson said.
“A site map was displayed showing the area of the Horizons West planned development where Don the Beachcomber will be built on the shore of Lake Hancock. A movie theater and a Publix supermarket are nearby, along with one of 19 Ford’s Garage locations in Florida owned and operated by 23 Restaurant Services.” the report added.
The renderings “showcase an open and welcoming environment, highlighting the shoreline of Lake Hancock, furthering the tiki ambiance of Don the Beachcomber,” according to the story posted March 19. The plans are still in the early stages of permitting, it notes. The images from the article are shared below
