Disney's Boardwalk Inn Resort

We have stayed at the Boardwalk before and always love it. The location is perfect, with nightlife just a few steps away, and the rooms are well appointed with the most comfortable beds! We were on the ground floor this time, very close to the quiet pool which was nice. The large pool is awesome with a great slide for all ages to enjoy. On this trip, we even enjoyed a movie out on the lawn. Great spot!

About a week before we arrived, my husband and I decided to take our baby girl to WDW. I decided we needed to go for it, get a nice resort close to a park. Ideally I wanted a place close to Magic Kingdom, but the Boardwalk (closest to Epcot) was the only place with a room available that met my needs/desires. I was hesitant. When we arrived we pulled up to the drive through and were immediately greeted by the valet and bellhops. Smiles blazing and eager to help. We were early but reassured that it was not a problem. We chose to self park and were given a ticket and told our luggage would be safe until our room was ready then it would be delivered to our room. When my husband made it back to us we went to check in, the front desk cast member was super helpful. We were early and I wanted to see if we could go ahead and check in. No rooms ready yet but no problem getting the process started and picking up our magic bands. I reminded her that I paid extra for boardwalk and lake views. I asked to please have a balcony and view of the fireworks. Explained to her that my husband and I want to have nice evenings on the balcony while our little one sleeps inside the room until we are ready for bed. She asked me to give her a moment while she ran to consult a book in the back. She returned and explained she found the perfect room for us, she referenced a book they keep photos of views of every single room on property! Still a little skeptical I took her word for it and off we went to the Boardwalk Bakery to fill up our resort mugs and walk around Epcot while we waited for our room to be ready. We received a text a couple of hours later saying our room is ready with the room number. We made it back to the room and called to have our luggage delivered. The room is massive! Plenty of room to set up the baby’s pack-n-play and enough floor space for her to crawl, run around, and play. And the view, spectacular, amazing, beautiful. And even better at night. The balcony is spacious enough for two. The hotel in general is themed after Atlantic City for the 1940’s? The chandelier when you walk through the main entrance is very grand and beautiful, forgot to take a picture. Loved the fireplace screen. The convenience of this resort is great. Literally walk to Epcot and enjoy all the things The Boardwalk has to offer. I would’ve loved to stay a bit longer than two nights.

As a Disney Vacation Club member, I've stayed at the Boardwalk many times-- 2008, 2012, 2017, and 2019. Every stay has been magical-- the hotel is just a short walk from Epcot, and a boat ride away from Hollywood Studios, making it easy to get to both parks from the hotel. The pool is awesome, and so are all of the shops, restaurants, and other activities available on the actual Boardwalk! In typical Disney fashion, the staff are absolutely stellar, the rooms are always clean and cozy, and the theme of the hotel is unique and beautiful. I simply cannot say enough good things about the Boardwalk-- it's just so awesome!
