The Boardwalk Inn
captures the feel of the ‘20s and 30s Eastern Seaboard. The Board walk,
is on Crescent Lake, and features upscale restaurants, and galleries, a
brewpub, and an ESPN sports bar. In the evening, an adult night club
with dueling pianos and a DJ dance club join the lineup. There are also
shops, and a wide range of actives that differs from day to day. (see
actives section on here for more information.) The biggest draw is it is
within walking distance to Epcot, where even more dining options are
available.

Garden Suites ©Disney
· Garden Suites: are
designed for HONEYMOONERS but can easily accommodate a family of four
and are two stories. There are 14 Garden Suites and all but three have
private entrance courtyards. The three that do not, have private
balconies. The yards are separated by white picket fences that are about
3 feet tall. Each of the front yards are individually landscaped. At
the gate entrance to the yard, there is a small decorative bird hours
with the room number on it. These front yards lead to the one and only
entry way of the suite, and are being grown into manicured rose gardens.
The first floor has a TV, ½ bath, bread bar and a queen size sofa bed. The 2nd level loft, in most cases, overlooks the lower level which create a very large, vaulted ceiling effect. The three with private balconies have more of an actually separate second level. The second level features are elevated king size bed, TV and a full bath with a giant Jacuzzi tub that will easily accommodate two people, and a mini TV for viewing while in the Jacuzzi tub.

Pools

BoardWalk Inn
has two pools. The largest, Luna Park Pool, sits in the BoardWalk
Villas section of the resort near the lobby at the front of the resort.
There is also a hot tub, kiddie pool and water player area.
The other smaller pool is located at the far east side of the resort wing of the resort. This pool is also a basic concrete pool and is considered a "quiet pool," meaning that loud play and splashing around are discouraged.
Luna Park Pool has one water slide that all ages are free to use. Guests can find showers, storage lockers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Pool hours are at least 10AM to 10 PM, extending to as much as 8 AM to 12 AM during busy times. Luna Park Pool will have lifeguards during the pools' operating hours.
Playgrounds at Disney's Boardwalk Inn Resort A small playground set is located near Luna Park Pool. The set has a small plastic slide and a couple of sections with a few steps for toddlers to go up and down. Safety seems to be Disney's concern here - there are no swings, and the entire area is covered in a springy, poured rubber surface.
