The BoardWalk Inn sits on Crescent Lake along a recreated 1930s Atlantic seaboard boardwalk, so you walk out the door into restaurants, street performers and evening strolls. It feels lively without being a party hotel, and the inn itself is smaller and calmer than the boardwalk outside.
I like it for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios trips. EPCOT's International Gateway is about a 10 minute walk, and Hollywood Studios is a boat ride or a longer walk. The boardwalk is getting a refresh with new spots like Hurly-Burly and The Cake Bake Shop, and the Luna Park pool is scheduled to close from January into April 2027, so check your dates.
