Disney’s Boardwalk

BoardWalk's stunning location made waking up early an absolute joy. I was able to get in a fantastic, refreshing morning run, utilizing the beautiful path that starts right outside the Yacht Club where we stayed and loops around the scenic lake and adjacent BoardWalk for a consistent 0.8-mile route. It was the ideal way to start the day. Afterward, sipping coffee with a breathtaking view of the sun rising over Crescent Lake and the charming BoardWalk was pure magic—a moment of peaceful, luxurious serenity. ​The dining experiences were equally exceptional, hitting every note from casual indulgence to high-end dessert. The Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs Mozzarella Stick was a must-try; it was crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned, elevating a classic appetizer to gourmet status. For desserts, the Cake Bake Shop was an absolute highlight. The artistry and flavor of their cakes were simply divine—a stunning, indulgent treat that was well worth the visit. And for evening relaxation, BoardWalk Joe's Marvelous Margaritas were flawless. The perfectly balanced mix of tart and sweet, enjoyed with the bustle of the nearby Boardwalk in the background, was the ideal way to unwind after a long day of walking. ​The boardwalk's convenience cannot be overstated. The gentle boat ride transport to Epcot and Hollywood Studios was a delightful and relaxing way to travel, offering gorgeous views and avoiding bus traffic. Finally, the gift shop was a treasure trove, stocked not only with the usual souvenirs but also with unique, high-quality items and snacks that made picking up gifts (or a treat for myself!) a fun experience. The BoardWalk is more than just a place to stay—it's a destination that perfectly blends nautical sophistication, culinary excellence, and exceptional convenience. It's a must-visit.

Disney Boardwalk is truly magical, especially during the Christmas season! The festive decorations, lights, and holiday music create such a warm and joyful atmosphere. There are plenty of great restaurants, and you can take the Skyliner to Disney parks easily. Families can enjoy the free Open Sky Park movie for kids, and in the evening, there are fireworks that make the experience even more special. With amazing food, festive vibes, convenient transport, and fun activities, the Boardwalk is a must-visit for everyone.

Disney’s BoardWalk is absolutely magical! The atmosphere is vibrant, charming, and full of life, especially in the evenings with the lights, music, and waterfront views. The walk itself is beautiful and relaxing, with fantastic dining, entertainment, and easy access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Street performers, unique shops, and the classic BoardWalk vibe make it a perfect place to unwind after a park day. Clean, lively, and full of Disney charm—this is a must-visit spot on any Disney trip!

Disney’s BoardWalk is one of our favorite places to wander at Walt Disney World. It has that classic turn-of-the-century Atlantic coastal vibe, with great views around Crescent Lake and an easy walk to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios (or hop on the Friendship boats). At night it really comes alive—string lights, live performers sometimes, and a fun mix of spots to grab a drink or a bite. Perfect for a chill evening stroll, photos, and a break from the parks without feeling like you “left Disney.”

Fantastic resort! Room was amazing I loved the old boardwalk ascetic, bed was super comfy and a beautiful view off the balcony. Pool was lovely and the actual boardwalk was great, with 2 fantastic restaurants and a few shops ect. Bonus points for being walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood studios. All of the staff were amazing we couldn’t recommend enough

Beautiful sightseeing walk. However, why, why, why it is sooo pricey. I bought a lemonade and a virgin Pina colada for $22 + tax (!!!) what a mistake. The shops around the boardwalk think everyone is wealthy or what?

I took the walk around the boardwalk after getting off the Skyliner. What an absolutely beautiful area!! Had a great time walking around and checking out everything. Highly recommend.

Beautifull place to relax at the dock, dine something light, shopping or eat a treat before leaving but difficult to go in if you don't have a reservation there or are in the park(Epcot). I think is new a rule for Christmas.

Ah, Disney's BoardWalk -- the prettiest piece of Atlantic City cosplay you'll ever see. Opened in 1996, it was Disney's answer to the golden-age seaside resorts of the early 1900s. The architecture is pure magic: whimsical, nostalgic, and so charming it almost makes you forget a churro costs $8. Now, don't get me wrong -- this is one of my absolute favorite spots in all of Walt Disney World. A stroll around here at night feels like stepping into a postcard: the lights reflecting on the water, the performers on the promenade, the smell of fried food that may or may not be coming from your wallet spontaneously combusting. But let's talk about the entertainment. The Dance Hall? Still fun, but badly in need of a refresh. It's like that uncle at a wedding who refuses to update his playlist past 1998. And Disney, explain to me like I'm five -- why would you take away Jellyrolls? That piano bar was the crown jewel of late-night Disney chaos. If you stayed until closing, the Disney cops would literally escort you back to your hotel like you were a tipsy VIP. Magical, hilarious, and sorely missed. Now? The BoardWalk is still beautiful, but it's begging for reinvention. Right now, it feels like Imagineering built a masterpiece and then said, "Eh, good enough, let's go ride Guardians of the Galaxy." Christoph the Insultor would say: "You call this nightlife? I've seen more action at a nursing home bingo night, and at least they had free Jell-O shots." Still -- even with its flaws, Disney's BoardWalk remains one of the most enchanting places on property. The architecture, the history, the atmosphere -- it's Disney at its most romantic and nostalgic. I just hope someday they give it the love it deserves, because this spot could (and should) be the crown jewel of nighttime Disney World.

First class service as always! A superb team runs the concierge room! We relied on coffee, breakfast, beer/wine & heavy appetizers! Top quality! Near Epcot entrance and Disney Skyliner. Many options for food, drink and entertainment (like you were at the boardwalk on the shore back in the day)! I will stay here in the future.

There is a pure magic here for adult. The vibes is enchanting because of its serenity. This boardwalk is a plus if staying to nearby Disney resorts. Nevertheless, a short boat ride from Hollywood Studios theme park. A swift place to hang out especially during nights.

I've always felt that people sleep on Disney's BoardWalk, it's not in many conversations I see on social media (maybe that's just my perception), but I feel that it's one of the hidden gems on property. In essence, Disney's BoardWalk is a promenade that contains shops, restaurants, and some nightlife. The BoardWalk also houses the aforementioned Boardwalk Inn and Villas, with other hotels a short walk away. There are several ways to reach the BoardWalk. If you're staying in an Epcot area resort you can walk there, take a boat, or the Skyliner; if you're in Epcot or the Studios you can do the same. Most of the shops and restaurants stay open until 11pm or midnight, so this is a good option for something to do at night in addition to Disney Springs. As far as offerings, it's kind of a mixed bag. For nightlife it's kind of a joke - there's a dueling piano bar which charges a $22 cover (no thank you), and dance club that always looks dead. They have some carnival games which one tends to find on boardwalks which is fun, as well as some stands that sell drinks, corndogs, and pretzels. The other restaurants and eateries are pretty good - though I do feel that while some fit the theming well, others seem out of place. Nevertheless, there's something for most palates. Shopping is nothing to write home about - the shops on the boardwalk serve as the gift shops for the Inn and Villas so outside of the resort-specific merch there's nothing outstanding. Overall, I think it's definitely worth checking out the BoardWalk at least once during your Disney travels. It may not be for everyone, but since I've stayed at the Boardwalk Villas on and off since I was a teenager, I'll always have a soft spot for it.

Love love love it here! One of the most underrated areas of Orlando Disney world area! So many great restaurants! The abacadabar is so good and in between the two best restaurants! First the Italian restaurants (just follow your nose to the delicious aroma of garlic) then flying fish! OH MY soo good!!! We went into the boardwalk Disney store and the Mickey scones sooooo good! There's a yummy ice cream place and the cake spot! Haven't wanted to drop that much cash for one slice of cake yet but is smells wonderful and it's such a beautiful setting With all white and pink flowers. The whole area is so nice! It's peaceful and they do have lots of sitting and shows here and there. It's a wonderful place to rest after Epcot. The ferry Epcot takes you right to where you need to stop walk up and around the corner and boom You are at the boardwalk!

Love this cute boardwalk! We walked it often to get from our hotel to Epcot when we stayed at the dolphin resort! It has cute little shops and lights during the evening. The only issue we had was that there are games on the boardwalk but the workers were so mean. My daughter is 2.5 years old and wanted to do the water game. There was no one else around and the lady would not let my daughter play by herself. She was adamant we needed 2 players.. even though we are in the same family. It was ridiculous. The workers were on their phones and could care less about how excited my daughter was to do this. Honestly not a good representation of Disney at all and sadly they are correlated with it for the "Disney boardwalk". The shops and ice cream were great though and the workers were very nice! We do love ice cream on a hot day!

Such a cute boardwalk! It was our first night when we arrived, and it was such a beautiful way to start our trip. We were instantly transported to what felt like another world! Excellent entertainment, eats, and shops! We took the tram from our resort and it was a quick walk in the rain to our dinner. We stayed after and enjoyed the sights and got some desserts. The cake shop and the ice cream shops are so freaking adorable, definitely instagram worthy. I wish we had more time to explore throughout our trip, I am definitely going back.

I didn't get a chance to explore the boardwalk much, but what I did see I enjoyed. We came here specifically to get a slice of cake from the Cake bake shop. This was delicious and I would highly recommend stopping into this place. I would love to spend more time on the boardwalk during my next trip. The atmosphere of it is very quaint and everything is really clean and kept up.

Our family stayed here for a weekend staycation and had such a fun time. Our days started with coffee and danishes from Boardwalk Bakery -- including delicious croissants, cinnamon rolls, and muffins. We enjoyed lounging by the pool during the day, and walking around the Boardwalk at night after dinner. All of the cast members were friendly and wonderful, and we loved our time here!

While this location and has so much potential if Disney builds it up and adds more to do, we found it very underwhelming/too small. The waterfront location is beautiful. We did enjoy some snacks and a walk around the area. Fingers crossed that they add more and one day I get to update this review to five stars. Definitely go to Disney Springs which has a ton more if given the choice.

Location is great for Epcot entertainment. The boat ride to the park was easy. There is only one bus stop so be patient while waiting for your bus to different parks. Compared to other resorts I have stayed at I will not be back to stay but maybe to enjoy the walk. The rooms are small and a bit dated. I had the one bedroom and it was on the small side. I didn't see the value but as always the cast members keeps the magic alive.

The Disney Boardwalk! That we stumbled upon because we didn't know this even existed! lol So, we were trying to get to the Disney EPCOT, and the Disney bus or shuttle driver dropped us off here at the Boardwalk. We were confused lol We thought that EPCOT was close by (we were not sure about this). The driver told us if you walk that way (he pointed off to a direction) then you will get to ECPOT. We thought- Okay cool! And then walking along the Boardwalk we realized this was a great place for shopping and eating. Also, there is a giant resort here that looks very nice. We eventually called an uber to pick us up because we got lost and couldn't find the EPCOT lol We are from California, not Florida and had no idea had to navigate the Disney grounds. But we made it and realized that the boardwalk was kind of close to EPCOT lol

We really enjoyed this area. It was our first time visiting. It is a very quaint area to walk around, and they have entertainment on the boardwalk. We ate at the Italian restaurant, but there are a few other options along the boardwalk like pizza and tacos. I have heard you can see fireworks from here however our timing was not right this time. We took an Uber after reading reviews because I heard they often only have valet parking. It's definitely worth the visit!

Disney fun without an entrance fee. Entire place was very clean. We went early on Sunday. Waited to enter but worth it because inside was pleasant to browse without a crowd. Shopping selections were great.

If you are just visiting the Boardwalk not staying at the hotel, I would not suggest for handicap guest unless parking offsite at Disney Springs and catching a Disney bus over works for you. I have been told that parking at the actual Boardwalk is at the discretion of the parking attendant due to full parking lots. Well I can tell you (and show you- see pictures) the parking lot was not full the day we visited and we were still turned away and told to park at the Springs and catch a Disney bus back to the Boardwalk. I have MS and ride a mobility scooter which makes that pretty difficult but I would say this is difficult for families with strollers and kids too. I would say accessibility for all has led to the closed restaurants and shops...

I was really impressed with the beauty of this place and the service provided. From driving up to checking in and throughout the stay, people are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is really amazing, a quick boat ride to the Epcot Center. The rooms are beautiful and it's always decor. It is pretty costly but you get a lot for it back. I highly recommend this hotel.

A NICE PLACE TO UNWIND AFTER A DAY AT THE DISNEY PARKS While visiting EPCOT, we took a water taxi from the EPCOT International Gateway entrance (near the France Pavilion) to the Disney Boardwalk. The free water taxi system connects the Boardwalk, the Beach Club and Yacht Club Resorts, the Dolphin and Swan Hotels and Hollywood Studios. Although you can walk from EPCOT to the Boardwalk, it is a long and unshaded hot walk. We enjoyed walking around the Boardwalk but would not put it on a Disney vacation must-visit list. If we were staying at one of the EPCOT area resorts, the Boardwalk might be a nice place to unwind after a day at the parks. The Boardwalk esplanade includes a dance club, the soon-to-be closed Jelly Rolls night club and generic Disney shops. On some nights, there are street entertainers on the Boardwalk. Restaurants include the Flying Fish and Trattoria al Forno that have been on the Boardwalk for years. The recently opened Cake Bake Shop has gained some notoriety for its over-the-top prices including $22 cake slices. Casual eateries (meh menus and mostly outdoor seating) include the recently opened Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs kiosk, the Pizza Window and the Boardwalk Deli.

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Beautiful gardens - open space. Centrally located between EPCOT & Hollywood Studio's, accessible by boat or on foot. Can't beat this hotel. Impeccable service plus!

What can I say? Best place ever, when visiting the Walt Disney World? ... hell yes!!! If you can visit, even better if you can stay in the boardwalk resort, do! You will not regret it! This place is amazing, so many food and bar options, nightly entertainment and walking distance to two parks. We had the pleasure of staying at the boardwalk villas during our latest Disney trip and it was amazing! The hotel was perfect, plenty of space and super clean. The ability to be in the middle of the action, priceless. We had breakfast at the new Boardwalk deli which offers awesome bites and pastries. We enjoyed nightly entertainment featuring different performances and venues. Oh my... the possibilities and choices. Come and enjoy a fabulous time

Always a lovely to come to Disney's Boardwalk. This place is usually not crowded since it's targeted for the crowd staying in the surrounding resorts. We didn't dine in this time as we only hung out and walked around for a bit, but there are plenty of options for food. I can't wait to come back.

Disney's boardwalk was nice to walk and very beautiful things to look at but they should make it more appealing by adding more stores and restaurants!

We were staying at the Yacht Club and came over to the area for dinner. It was very empty on a Monday at 6 pm, so it was a nice walk, with benches everywhere for sitting and taking in the views. There are a few stores, several restaurants, an ice cream parlor and a few places to get drinks. All in all, not much going on and I think some of it is because of COVID, as several of the larger venues were closed. I would probably only come here if I was staying within walking distance as there wasn't a whole lot to do.

The boardwalk was a great experience! It was a pretty big walk all the way around so you get your steps in, but enough benches, places to sit, and shops if you want to stop & pace yourself too. They also have a little beach area on the lake which was pretty nice. We also went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. Would definitely come again!

Probably one of my favorite resorts at Disney Boardwalk. Scenic and a lot of fun to walk around. Great staff, too, as they help you with certain things if needed. I do wish Big River Grill was still open, as there aren't too many dining options around here. But otherwise, worth the visit!

The Boardwalk has this old school charm to it. I feel like I'm transported back in time. I love it. As far as restaurants go they have: Trattoria al Forno, The Pizza Window, Flying Fish, The ESPN club, the Boardwalk Bakery, Joes Margaritas and many more. I will recommend the Margarita booth, which is great. The Boardwalk Bakery is so disappointing. They "appear" to have some delicious things, but you buy them and they are terrible. The worst you can do is go to that Pizza Window. Just don't do it. High prices, crappy pizza. The Boardwalk is within walking distance of many things. These include: The Swan and Dolphin Hotel, Epcot, the Boardwalk Hotel and Yacht and Beach Hotel. So its super convenient. Parking is alittle tricky though. During the sunset you get beautiful views and it's a nice place to enjoy a calm afternoon.

Disneys boardwalk is a nice way to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Disney parks. It can be super low key but has plenty of food and drink options as well as night life. The tequila bar as amazing margaritas, and we made a few stops for those. There is a nice chill speakeasy for the whisky connoisseur (spent a few hours after kiddos went to bed) A night club/lounge that we are a bit removed from so I wouldn't have a clue how to accurately review. The location is super convenient and approximately a 5 minute walk to Epcot and hollywood studios or just a short boat ride as well. We opted to walk and avoided waiting on boats and you'll see why when you arrive. Plenty of quick dining experiences for the grab and go, as well a nice dining experience. All and all I would highly recommend staying at a boardwalk property(if you can find one) as they are becoming harder and harder to get at an affordable price point. It does happen though and it's most definitely worth it! Can't wait for our next visit! Cheers to great margaritas at the boardwalk

I was so excited to get to stay here this trip because we love the style of the hotel and the location. Upon arrival we were greeted kindly and the bell service was excellent. I wish the rest of the stay and accommodation was just as good but it was very disappointing. Layout - The walk from the elevator to the room was annoying to say the least. It feels like a never ending hallway and everything looks exactly the same. Leaving the room I got lost twice because there is no indication of which way to go to get back to the elevator. Cleanliness- When we checked in at midnight after a long park day, we unpacked and got settled. The tub was dirty with hair and other questionable stuff. There was hair on the pullout beds. The next night when we got back from the parks my son put his hand on top of the headboard and it was covered in dust. So much that clumps flew off onto the bed. Accommodations - the only place to get the reusable cups that come with the dining plan is at the deli that closes at 11pm according to the Disney app but actually 10 pm and with us being at the park all day, we did not get to get the cups. We were only there three days and were not able to get our cups until the last day. What makes it even more frustrating is that we were there at 9:59pm one night and were told they were closed by the girl at the register as she was preoccupied with her phone. Not only did we not get the cups until the very last day we only used them once because of the distance and lack of availability. This was an overall frustrating and extremely disappointing experience.

The renovations of the rooms are beautiful. Elegant and comfortable. The addition of cake bake is a real plus. The hotel needs a casual sports type bar. A place for nachos and to watch a game. The loss of red river and the espn club was a great loss for evening fun

I've been here several times over the years. It's very Disney but also kinda like universal the purpose is solely to spend money lol. The bars and entertainment is best at night and there is a good crowd in the weekends.

We absolutely loved staying at this resort! The location is amazing. There are so many transportation options. You can take the boat, walk, the skyliner, the bus. We loved all the activity on the boardwalk at night, there were jugglers, acrobats, and entertainers of all kinds. We stayed in a 1 BR, which was awesome. Very spacious and had a full kitchen and laundry, which was a huge plus. We are breakfast in the room each day, which saved a lot of time and money. We thought the Deli was good for quick meals and the ice cream shop was great. Don't miss the Mickey's Kitchen Sink Sundae! Our room had hardwood floors and we could see both the MK fireworks and the Epcot Fireworks each night from our balcony! There is a movie on the lawn each night and smores as well. Such an awesome experience!

The location is convenient to two theme parks and a number of restaurants. Unfortunately, the facilities are in need of numerous repairs. The lobby and DVC rooms have been "updated" which means modernized and in many regards, de-themed removing some of the charm. The public exterior areas have been left without proper maintenance and the actual boardwalk has broken boards and exposed nails/bolts. The ESPN club has been removed to be replaced by another dessert venue which may remove a full service restaurant option. The candy store was removed years ago and replaced by Abracadabar which, while creative, is an adult bar venue. Disney has gone all in on using alcohol as a revenue generator by also adding alcohol sales from stands along the boardwalk. May or may not return.

Don't waste your money here. There are so many other hotels that are nicer and that will respect you more. Not only did I have a Garden Villa room which was very expensive to begin with but we had 2 additional club level rooms as well. Check in was a joke, they were very rude and didn't explain nothing to us about the hotel at all not even giving us information on the club level perks etc. Day 1 at Disney at 10pm we were ready to come soak our feet and take a nice shower and bath. We get to the hotel and we have no hot water at all! We call down stairs and they tell us "oh yes we've had problems in that room before with no hot water" well why in the world would you even offer the room to someone then!! She said well if you turn it on and leave it on for a good while it should start to turn warm. She said I can request for you to move rooms or put in for them to come look at it. By this time at 11pm we just wanted to rest! We get a call first thing at 7am the next day asking do you guys still want to move rooms, I said well if we want to take a shower in the next 6 days then yes! They finally moved us to a new room 2 villas down well it wasn't too much better. The water did get warm (not hot) but now the phones didn't work. After speaking with several people about this experience here we got the impression nobody really cared at this point. The only person that seemed to help was George and Indian gentleman that was very nice and helpful! I'm just saying if you want more for your money don't go here. Try the Yacht club.

If you're hanging in the Disney Area for multiple days and you have a free day for exploring, Disney Boardwalk is worth a visit for the picture opportunities. I would probably suggest checking it out at night. We visited during the day and most of the main restaurants were not open yet. From what I've read and seen from other reviews, the Boardwalk seems to really come alive in the evening. All the restaurants, bars, entertainment etc is open at that time. We visited during the day and did a little Disney shopping at the main Disney gift store there. It a big store and more or less pretty empty so you can explore through the shop without crowds in your way. They had all the Disney essentials and then some. We took the Disney Boat to the Boardwalk which enhanced the experience slightly. I'd stop by here next visit only at night as there really isn't much to do during the day time. Good Luck!

A OK. Five stars for photo ops, nightlife and overall beachy vibe. Two stars for daytime activities and offerings. One star for ease of access. I've been here several times at night and this is really the only time to hit up this area. Everything is open and there is a great piano bar that you just have to go to! Plus it's a little cooler at night and since the majority of this area is outside without covering, it's a nighttime space in Florida. During the day it's extremely limited on offerings. Many of the venues don't open til later and what is open has only a few things on offer for daytime visitors. There is no cover, as I stated, so it's hot during the midday time as well. They do have bike rentals and sitting areas that are nice. Parking is hit or miss. If there is any kind of event going on, they close the hotel parking lot to guests only access. This means that you will need to go to a park or to Disney Springs, catch a bus and take it to the Boardwalk. It's a 15 minute bus ride each way and it only drops you at the hotel, so it's another 10 minute walk to the boardwalk itself. Not easy access at all. Overall: B- Nighttime venue is really the only thing I'd recommend here. Hit them up for drinks and the piano bar!

Disney is a place full of magic not just the amusements parks but experiences like Disney boardwalk makes it a gratifying experience!! Went on a Sunday morning it was pretty quite and everything was closed expect for the bakery. Conveniently located close by the Disney parks (Epcot and Hollywood studios are a walking distance from what I noticed). Parking is free!! It felt like a mini village of its own and can surely dine, play and entertain yourself all day long. The boardwalk hotel exterior is beautiful and very relaxing. Surely visit again post-COVID!!

The ONLY reason they get 1 star is because the staff was nice. We've been long time DVC members and Boardwalk is one of our home resorts. At one point this was one of the Crown Jewels, but those days have passed a LONG time ago. Each time we come back we are quickly reminded why we haven't stayed here in a while. We have a large family and have always stayed in the 3 bedroom "Grand Villas". While the space is nice to have, there is NOTHING grand about it! Everything in the villa looks like a Motel6. When we walked in there were multiple lights out, only 1 hair dryer, a microwave that BARELY fits a plate into it as well as a tiny refrigerator that would never fit enough food for our family and a mattress that looks and feels like it was picked up on the side of the road. This may sound petty but if you were spending 75 points or $3k PER NIGHT you would expect MUCH more too! This is just an embarrassment to be considered "grand". Save your time, money and disappointment and stay at another property. We'll never be back here!

It was nice to walk around! I think definitely tailored more for adults than kids just compared to other Disney spots. We ordered some chili cheese fries which took forever in line but were so good. Not sure if/when we would return but maybe in a few years.

Great place to take a stroll and enjoy the sights and sounds. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Great place to be overall. Enjoy the fact that it's for tourists and natives alike.

Spent most of my nights on the boardwalk here Because I was staying at the Disney dolphin. There was an easy walking path from the hotel to the boardwalk or you can take one of the vaporetto boats. The disappointing part about the boardwalk is that in order to eat at the sit down restaurants you have to download some Disney app and make the reservations through there. The reservations are not available through any other application or website. Therefore, the only other food options on the boardwalk are very very limited to a deli, a pizza counter, and other small kiosks full of finger foods that I would typically only eat at a bar or fast foods. As expected because it is a Disney property prices are higher, but not too exorbitant. Huge compliment to the space because you can watch some fireworks from Epcot for free. Also, you can take the boats around for free to the different properties.

What happened!!? We used to love this place but no more! Empty spaces, loss of restaurants, nothing to do. Pretty disappointing and won't be back.

This was my least favorite Disney resort. The room looked old with chipping paint. I thought it was clean but about 2 months later we had a small infestation of bedbugs in our basement where we put our luggage when we got home. That has never happened before and Boardwalk was the only place we went.I will never use the drawers in a hotel again. The pool was nothing special and I hated how we had to go out to the bakery to refill it cups and my husband's cup never worked. The boardwalk was always too busy and crazy and we had to go all the way around the lake to Beach Club to get the kids Mickey waffles in the morning. It was a longer walk to go to Epcot or at least seemed that way.I thought we would like it because it kind of looks like Coney Island, but it's a big no for us.

The Disney boardwalk is a fun date night place. They have movies playing at night. A few hotels. All around at reasonable price like the dolphin and swan and some beach club resorts . That you can be a member of . They also have amazing shops like a Disney store you can buy some cool things from a bakery , a fast pizza place you can take out. ,some drink places. And some fun little shops that arnt open right now that are usually just little jewlery or hair places etc. also when. It's not covid you usually can rent a big bike with a cover on top to bike around the big Disney boardwalk circle . An plus side you can walk to Hollywood studios or Epcot and get in a little earlier .

I'm still having withdrawals after flying home this past Sunday. I had a wonderful family trip where Cure SMA put us up here at Disney's Boardwalk. This hotel was walking distance from the Convention Center located just across the water and not a far walk from Epcot as well. They offer a water taxi to and from each hotel and park which is super convenient, but what was nice was when the lines were super long - it wasn't too far of a walk either. I highly recommend this hotel!

We just returned from a one week vacation to WDW and stayed at the Boardwalk Inn. It was our second time staying there and it was even better than our first. We were upgraded to a beautiful view of the boardwalk and loved waking up to our view and people watching, watching the friendship boats sail on by and smelling the goodies from the bakery. We didn't even have to go to the front desk to check-in. All of my info was sent to me via email or via the mydisneyexperience.com app and I was able to enter the room just using my magic band. I loved the efficiency of the whole experience. We had a studio with two queens and it was spacious enough for our family of 4. We even had a huge double stroller that didn't take up too much space since the room was so spacious. The service from everyone at the hotel was 5 stars all around. Housekeeping was wonderful and so was the bell desk. I didn't have much interaction with the front desk staff, but with the little interaction I did they were very friendly. The beds were comfortable and the food/restaurant choices at the Boardwalk were plentiful. I just wish they had more rapid filling soda stations because there weren't any that were able to us. Our previous hotel had 24 hour rapid filling soda stations which was great! I love the Boardwalk because you can walk to Epcot or walk/friendship boat it to Hollywood Studios. I just wish they had a better pool - the clown kinda freaks me out. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Not much here to be perfectly honest. Sure - If you're staying at one of the hotels it provides easy access to Epcot and other amusement parks. As for outside visiting you have a few small shops, restaurants and a ice cream parlor. A once walk around and you're gone area...

This is a quarter-mile promenade of dining, shops and nightlife that is definitely best experienced at night. However, this is also a exceptionally great spot for photos during the day and at dusk. The Boardwalk is designed to be similar to turn-of-the-century boardwalks in coastal cities like Coney Island and Atlantic City. Due mainly to limited parking, the big problem here is accessibility. I avoid this issue by parking at Epcot then bear right through the World Showcase towards the United Kingdom and exit at the International Gateway Entrance (that also leads to the Yacht and Beach Clubs). The Boardwalk is a nice place to stop during the walk or Friendship boat ride on the way to/from Hollywood Studios. Nightlife includes Jellyrolls, Atlantic Dance Hall and the ESPN Club. Dining includes Trattoria al Forno, Flying Fish Café and the Big River Griller & Brewing Works.

Disney's Boardwalk ESPN restaurant is about all that is here, came here 20 years ago and was really the place to go. Now is a dying dinosaur where everyone is at Disney Springs. Was disappointed and would not recommend wasting your time here.

All these properties are over priced food ! If you have a family good luck! Good luck

This is my pool view and the room smells like a wet sock. Been dvc members for 12 years. Very disappointed in property. But service was good.
