Disney's BoardWalk Inn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Disney's BoardWalk Inn is a hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort and opened on July 1, 1996. The hotel is officially called Disney's BoardWalk Resort, but is more commonly known as Disney's BoardWalk Inn. It was built to be reminiscent of the boardwalks that were famous along Coney Island, New York in the 1920s-1940s. The sherbet-colored facades, flagged turrets, striped awnings, the waterslide, the "Keister Coaster" resembling a wooden roller coaster are all inspired by that by-gone era. It is one of the Epcot Area Resorts, located across the lagoon from Disney's Beach Club Resort and Disney's Yacht Club Resort, and it is a short walk to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. There is water transport available, free-of-charge, to Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, The Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, and the Swan and Dolphin resorts. The hotel also shares its lobby with Disney's BoardWalk Villas.

Dining

  • Big River Grille & Brewing Works
  • Boardwalk Bakery- Pastries, as well as numerous deserts are sold here. Besides Spoodles, it is the only Boardwalk eatery that serves breakfast.
  • ESPN Club - A restaurant, bar, arcade, and shop similar to ESPN Zones found throughout the United States, but with lighter menu options and less of a sportsbook feel. The main difference between the "Club" and the "Zones" is the live, interactive entertainment every night. Guests at the ESPN Club get to share their questions, opinions, and comments with the "Sports Hosts" every night. The fare includes that of a typical sports bar, with the notable exceptions of the Salmon BLT, the Cuban Burger, and the Blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich. There are many jerseys, balls, plaques, and other various sports memorabilia throughout the facility. It features over 100 monitors located throughout the restaurant, bar, and restrooms, as well a 90-square-foot (8.4 m2) HD projection screen in the main dining room. The ESPN Club also has a radio broadcast facility, featuring ESPN personalities and other radio broadcasters occasionally doing remotes from there.
  • Flying Fish Cafe- A fine seafood restaurant.
  • Spoodles- Breakfast is served, as well as a Mediterranean, family-style dinner each night. At lunch, pizza is sold from a booth overlooking the Boardwalk.

Recreation

Disney's Boardwalk Inn offers three swimming pools. The main pool is located in the Luna Park themed area. This pool is considered the family pool as it is open to all family members. The pool property includes a 200-foot-long Keister Coaster water slide on its south end. There are also two quiet pools. One is located just south of the main pool while the other is on the east side of the property. Other recreational activities include watercraft rentals, tennis courts, fishing, bike rentals and a biking/jogging trail, arcade, and an exercise room.
