Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is a deluxe resort hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. This resort is located just about as close as you can be to one of the Disney theme parks, with EPCOT just steps away. This resort is also in close proximity to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Should I stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn?

Guests who enjoy dining out, or who are looking for night life options nearby will really love staying at this resort. This resort is also an excellent choice for guests who plan to spend most of their theme park time inside EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, since both parks are within walking distance or a short water taxi ride or Disney Skyliner ride away. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is a fantastic choice for guests who are visiting the various festivals that take place throughout the year at EPCOT, such as the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. This resort isn’t the best choice for larger families, unless staying in adjoining rooms, as most rooms sleep up to 5.
