Summary

Disney's BoardWalk (Inn and Villas) opened in the EPCOT Resort area in 1996 and remains one of the most highly-coveted deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World. With its convenient access via Friendship boat, walkway, and Disney Skyliner to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios (buses are offered to Magic Kingdom, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs), Disney's BoardWalk is perfect for EPCOT festivals and beyond. From standard resort rooms to garden room suites and grand villas, the resort offers accommodations for families of all sizes, and its promenade provides a wide range of dining and shopping options, plus daily entertainment and recreation. In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know about staying at Disney's BoardWalk, reveal Imagineering details that make this property noteworthy, share reasons why you might want to stay here, and offer suggestions about how to make the most of your stay.
