Overview

Disney's BoardWalk Resort is a Disney Vacation Club resort and entertainment district on Crescent Lake, between Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Opened in 1996, it's built around a quarter-mile boardwalk reminiscent of Coney Island, lined with dining, shops, and nightlife along the water.

The BoardWalk

The boardwalk itself is the resort's main draw, home to the Big River Grille & Brewing Works — the only microbrewery at Walt Disney World — and the ESPN Club sports bar. Dining options along and near the boardwalk include:

• Big River Grille & Brewing Works
• BoardWalk Bakery
• ESPN Club — restaurant, bar, and arcade
• Flying Fish Cafe — seafood
• Trattoria al Forno — Italian
• Ample Hills Creamery — ice cream
• Pizza Window

Pools & Recreation

The feature pool, Luna Park Pool, is themed to a 1920s carnival and includes the 200-foot Keister Coaster water slide. A quieter second pool sits near Community Hall, and the resort also offers surrey bike rentals and tennis courts.

Nightlife

Atlantic Dance Hall anchors the far end of the boardwalk, while Abracadabar, next to Trattoria al Forno, pairs drinks with magician entertainment.

The Inn & Villas

The BoardWalk Inn, one of Disney World's deluxe resorts, is decorated in a Northeastern seaside style and sits directly across the lake from the Yacht and Beach Club resorts. The Villas, part of Disney Vacation Club, offer larger multi-bedroom suites. Both are a short walk or FriendShip boat ride from Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
