Disney's BoardWalk Inn

Top choice in Walt Disney World


This resort embodies the seaside charm of the 1930s Atlantic City Boardwalk in its heyday, with a waterfront the color of saltwater taffy, tandem bicycles with candy-striped awnings, and even a splintery boardwalk. The lovely lobby features sea-green walls, hardwood floors and vintage seating areas. Elegant rooms have a terrace or balcony.

The resort is divided into two sections, the Inn and the Villas; the Inn, with cute picket-fenced suites, quiet pools and plenty of grass, is far nicer and subdued. Accommodations range from rooms sleeping up to five to two-bedroom cottages.
