Disney's BoardWalk Resort

Disney's BoardWalk Resort is a hotel and entertainment complex at the Walt Disney World resort in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando. First opened in 1996, the BoardWalk Resort is located in the Epcot Resort Area, alongside Crescent Lake, between Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. The resort is owned and operated by Disney Experiences. The Inn and the villas share a common lobby with the rest of the resort. The Inn, Atlantic Dance Hall, and other features of the boardwalk were designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects.

Entertainment district
The BoardWalk entertainment district lies along a 0.25 mile boardwalk, reminiscent of Coney Island in New York or Atlantic City, New Jersey. Several restaurants are present on the BoardWalk.

Inn
One of Walt Disney World's "deluxe resorts," the BoardWalk Inn contains decor inspired by the seaside districts of the Northeastern United States during the 20th century. The Inn is a short walk or FriendShip boat ride from the other resorts around Crescent Lake, as well as Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. It is located directly across the lake from the Yacht and Beach Club resorts.
