The hotel

This magical waterfront property will take you back to 1930's America with its mix of buildings steeped in old-fashioned charm. It’s smack, bang in the middle of the lively BoardWalk with picturesque views of the harbour and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to explore. Kids will adore the swimming pool complex with its 61-metre water slide and white-sand beach, while adults can enjoy a leisurely swim in the quiet pool. It’s particularly fun to stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn as the whole area comes alive at night when duelling pianos get to work to the delight of the crowds, and everyone gets into the holiday mood. It’s dead easy to get to Epcot on the water taxi or by foot, and the restaurants of Disney’s Yacht Club and Disney’s Beach Club Resorts are close by for dining variety.

Pros: The hotel is beautiful. It's close to the parks. Lots of entertainment and things to eat on the boardwalk. The rooms are nice and spacious and clean. The staff is fantastic. Cons: Our room was extremely warm. Even though the AC was set on 68, the thermostat never read below 72, but I don't believe it was ever that cool. It was cooler in the… Read more
Pros: The hotel is beautiful. It's close to the parks. Lots of entertainment and things to eat on the boardwalk. The rooms are nice and spacious and clean. The staff is fantastic. Cons: Our room was extremely warm. Even though the AC was set on 68, the thermostat never read below 72, but I don't believe it was ever that cool. It was cooler in the hallway than it was in our room. Our first full day there, we called them to check on it. They said we froze up the unit because we turned it down to 68 when we got to the room and we just needed to let it "thaw". Day 2. Still miserable. Called again. They came up and stuck their thermostat in the vent and said it was blowing out cold enough. He didn't show us the gauge so I can't say that it wasn't blowing out cool enough, but it definitely wasn't blowing out hard enough. We had to leave our curtains pulled 100% of the time just to help keep the room cool, so we didn't really get to enough the beautiful views of the lake and boardwalk. Trying to sleep was miserable. I contemplated on going to sleep in the hallway on one of their couches, but I didn't. They also advertise a "beverage chiller" in their room. It wasn't cooling either. The drinks were barely colder than room temp. We asked about that during the second time they came to check the air and he said oh you have it too full, you can only put a couple drinks in there... Yes, we did have drinks on all 3 shelves because.. well.. it had 3 shelves. There is no room service. Yes, you can walk down to the boardwalk and get food, but the lines are always so long and it was so hot - and it's not always possible to leave to get food when you have napping children. And last but not least, we had a room for a family of 5. There is no private area to get dressed other than the very small room where the shower/toilet is. It's not fun trying to dry off and get dressed in about 2 foot of space in a damp (after a shower) room over a toilet. There is a nice area with double mirrors that would be great to get dressed if it just had a curtain or a door to separate it from the main area. So unless you are staying with people you typically run around unclothed in front of, this room isn't for you unless you want to straddle a toilet in a damp room to get dressed. I personally would not stay at this hotel again. Read less

Lovely location for Disney experience. Not over ‘Disneyfied’. Very relaxing 😎. A nice walk around the Boardwalk in the morning before breakfast is very enjoyable. Easy access to Epcot… walking distance. Boat transport available to Hollywood studios. The Disney Skyliner is lovely to ride from this location.

My brother and I stayed at Disney Boardwalk Inn following our Disney cruise.We loved this hotel. The staff were very welcoming! Anita checked us in. She was friendly and professional. We were on the third floor facing the garden. There was a balcony that overlooked nature and the gondolas that went from hotel to parks. We could see the fireworks at night. Part of them were obscured by the tree tops but overall we saw the big ones. We noticed that staff would greet us with “welcome home” which made for a warm family feeling. We walked on the boardwalk at night. We ate food from the Deli and from the pizzeria which was fresh. The Mickey cinnamon buns were my favorite. We had margaritas and Mickey pretzels too! On Sunday morning Pluto, Donald and Goofy paid a visit to the lobby and I had my picture taken with Goofy. We mostly sat on our balcony when we weren’t at Epcot or Disney Springs. Our room was very clean and spacious! Housekeeping came every day. It was a wonderful peaceful experience where we were treated with respect and kindness throughout! We highly recommend this hotel for its convenience to Epcot and amenities! Thank you DisneyBoardwalk Inn for the perfect end to our vacation. Read less

We spent the weekend at Boardwalk Inn with family in April and overall it was a good experience. The staff was great, from check-in, valet, housekeeping, etc. We found everyone to be very friendly and helpful. The club level was really nice. They had good food throughout the day and it was very clean and well looked after. The pool needs to be remodeled. It is cramped with little shade and hard to find a place to sit. The food served by the pool is terrible and the cocktails not much better. Disney also needs to bring back room service to their properties. It is ridiculous to spend 10-12 hours at the parks, and not be able to relax and eat in your room. Read less
