Disney's BoardWalk Inn

Mjau, we were finally able to stay at Disney's BoardWalk Inn for the first time back in May 2019. Disney's BoardWalk is one of our favourite areas and staying at Disney's BoardWalk Inn has been on our list for a long time. Mjau, we were not disappointed. Our stay there was positively amazing!

Our room at Disney's BoardWalk Inn!

Disney's BoardWalk Inn is themed after the early 1900s Atlantic City and Ocean City. Some theming is also reminiscent of Coney Island. We really like the theme of this hotel. The exterior is so wonderful and colourful. We really enjoy that it fells like you are in a small town more than you are at just one hotel.

Mjau, looking forward to listening to Disney music while we sleep!

The bathroom looks nice.

We really enjoy the sofa in the room. Mjau, we can make our butlers sleep there if they snore!

Mjau, admiring the towel art made by the resort cast members.

We really liked the room we stayed in. The room felt a little bit bigger than usual. We do not know if this is due to the room being on the ground floor. We loved all the details in the room. The lamp was wonderful and we really enjoyed the designs carved in the chair. Mjau, we also like that they still have carpet flooring. We think it fits to the theme and adds warmth to the room. They have slowly started to remove carpet flooring from the Disney resorts, something we are not always happy about. Mjau, sometimes the carpet fits the theme!

Mjau, we really like this painting in the room!

Look at the wonderful carving in the chair!

What a lovely Minnie lamp!

We usually do not prefer to stay on the ground floor, and we usually request a room on the upper floor. However we really enjoyed our lovely room on the ground floor. Instead of a balcony we had a small terrace. There were also enough vegetation so that we felt we had some privacy. Mjau, the only complaint is that there were no walls or plants on the terrace separating us from other guests. Mjau it could be awkward to sit on the terrace at the same time as your neighbour. Especially if you are as shy as us! However we really enjoyed that you could walk directly from the terrace to the pool area without walking through the hallway. Mjau, our butler mentioned this would not be possible if they had walls on the terrace. Mjau! It is Disney! They would find a way! Mjau, what an ignorant butler.

Enjoying the terrace!

Mjau, Grandpa exploring the pool by our room.

Grandpa on a walk around the resort. You can see the Swan and Dolphin Resort in the background. There is also the bar shaped like a carousel.

The resort has several swimming pools. They have smaller pools, like the one close to our room. The main pool is Luna Park Pool. Mjau, we prefer the smaller and more quiet pools. The Luna Park Pool is themed after an amusement park, the pool bar is a carousel and the slide is a wooden roller coaster. Mjau, it is a nice theme, however we find the clown head at the pool to be extremely creepy!

We enjoy the architecture of Disney's Boardwalk!

The location is one of the best parts of the resort. Mjau, Epcot and Hollywood Studios are within walking distance. You can also take the bus to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, however we find that to be completely idiotic. We would rather walk in the rain than sit around in the bus for such a short distance. Mjau, only for lazy people! There is also a boat that goes between Epcot, the resorts at Crescent Lake and Epcot. We can recommend taking the boat for the experience if the boat is right at the dock when you want to go to or from the parks. If you would have to wait for the boat for longer than five minutes, we recommend that you just start walking and enjoy the lovely view.

Since BoardWalk Inn is in Disney's BoardWalk there are several shops, entertainment and delicious eateries around.

Mjau, we always visit the Wyland Galleries of Florida. We love the Disney art they have on display, and it is especially enjoyable when it is hot outside and you need to cool down.

Enjoying a wonderful date at Abracadabar at Disney's BoardWalk.

There are also several nighlife entertainment: the Atlantic Dance Hall where you can dance the night away if you are over 21. They also have Jellyrolls where you can listen to duelling pianos. Mjau, we have never visited either of these establishments as we enjoy to just sit and relax with our cocktails. Mjau, we could consider visiting these if they would play Disney music. We prefer visiting AbracadaBar at the BoardWalk for a drink instead. There you can enjoy the warm Florida evening and the wonderful view of Crescent Lake. You can always walk to Epcot and try delicious drinks from around the world or go over to Hollywood Studios to one of their lounges. We recommend The Brown Derby Lounge.

Mjau, you can easily walk to the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts.

Across the lake you have Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. You can easily walk there to visit one of their lounges or restaurants. We love the banana bread, Mickey s'mores brownies and other delicious snacks you can get at the Market at Ale & Compass at Disney's Yacht Club Resort.

Enjoying a delicious fancy dinner at Flying Fish!

The BoardWalk Inn also has delicious options for snacks. You can find really delicious savoury and sweet snacks at the BoardWalk Bakery. Mjau, they also sell pizza slices, ice cream and more along the BoardWalk. There are also several restaurants that offer great food. The Flying Fish offers really delicious food and cocktails, however we find them to be a bit overpriced, mjau. If they have a festival going on at Epcot, we suggest going there and try delicious and interesting meals rather than sitting down at a restaurant.


Mjau, we absolutely recommend staying at the BoardWalk Inn if you can afford it. You are within walking distance of two parks. You will also be able to do resort hopping by foot. This is really special as you are able to visit three Disney Resorts and the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Mjau,, the only other opportunities to do resort hopping by foot is between Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, as well as between the Port Orleans Resorts.
