Disney's BoardWalk Inn

Walt Disney World, Orlando

Star rating

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.

Great pick for our family of four ages 10-50. We stayed in a deluxe club level room. We visited the parks 4 out of 5 days. Location cannot be beat. We had breakfast at the club every morning and dinner 4 out of 5 nights. What they call their appetizer service makes a wonderful dinner. And we stocked up on snacks to take to the parks everyday. The room was very clean and service excellent. The club level staff helped us plan out every day. The quiet pool was a delight Helpful hint — the cellphone room key often does t work so the staff made sure we got a key card. The boardwalk facing rooms get noise from the commerce on the boardwalk until 11. As light sleepers we wished we gotten a resort facing room which would have meant a smaller room. Read less

If you don’t want to read the entire review just know this: over $800 a night is robbery. This was like staying at a motel 6 with cheesy disney decor in the room. Upon arrival we were greeted by valet screaming directions every which way to all the cars the pulling up. It was utter chaos. When we moved into the lobby there was not a single ounce of organization to be found. People were just sort of standing around, some with iPads, haphazardly checking people in. Once we finally found someone to check us in, no easy task, we headed to our rooms. My parents had a suite that was evidently just “redone”. By just redone they must have meant redone in the early 1980s. There is no access to this room from an inside hallway either; you can only enter or exit from the outside courtyard. The design of this hotel could not be more confusing. From my balcony I had the pleasure of watching every single person get lost. In my parents room there was POOP IN THE TRASH CAN and WET TOWELS IN THE SHOWER. At this point, we are wishing we had stayed at the motel 6. My husband and I had to change rooms because they gave us a room with two full beds. We booked a king, obviously. When we were changing rooms they gave us the run around on how this is a “family resort” so there aren’t a lot king rooms. So on top of having to change rooms this woman doesn’t qualify us as a family? Just WOW. Also, for over $800 a night you can’t give me a king bed? This hotel is a MESS. The main pool was utter chaos so we went to the quieter, smaller pool in the courtyard. It’s fine, but old and freezing and the towels offered at the pool were thinner than cardboard. I don’t think I saw one member of hotel staff near the pool. My recommendation is obviously not to stay here. Disney has changed a lot in the past 6 years since I have been and from what I can see and have experienced these changes are for the worse.. Read less

We love the boardwalk hotel and have stayed there many times, but this last time we had a problem with our pool day. The pool was very cold on a 75 degree day. I have a pool and the temperature was in the mid to low 70 s. I tried to see if there was a problem, they connected me to a person named Megan and se said see would check and hung up on me.… Read more

I have a pool and the temperature was in the mid to low 70 s. I tried to see if there was a problem, they connected me to a person named Megan and se said see would check and hung up on me. I put a question into a Disney contact us, and a Gerald emailed me back and said in the winter month they keep their pools at 78-80. I contacted him back and said the web sites advertise “we keep our pool at 82 degrees all year for the enjoyment of our guests” . I did send the back to Gerald and have not received a response. This is troubling because as most families we always schedule at least one pool day on our trip. Read less

I checked into a resort view room. I was surprised that the finishes were worn and dirty in bathroom. I also found the toilet paper on the holder had a very odd brown substance on the edges. I spoke to someone at front desk who seemed to be unconcerned and offered someone to go look at what I was reporting. I was exhausted and wanted to sleep, so… Read more
I checked into a resort view room. I was surprised that the finishes were worn and dirty in bathroom. I also found the toilet paper on the holder had a very odd brown substance on the edges. I spoke to someone at front desk who seemed to be unconcerned and offered someone to go look at what I was reporting. I was exhausted and wanted to sleep, so I told her this and that if Disney thought the room was clean, so be it! She should have offered to move me immediately! It may be minor though Disney hotels are costly and this is a motel 6 quality!! Especially the toilet paper roll. Read less

Common areas are very nice. Location is fantastic with very easy access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. For the price the room are just OK. When we checked in the built-in soap dish had items left from the prior guest, including what looked like a pill and some garbage. Thought this would be cleaned up the next day. It was not.

Common areas are very nice. Location is fantastic with very easy access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. For the price the room are just OK. When we checked in the built-in soap dish had items left from the prior guest, including what looked like a pill and some garbage. Thought this would be cleaned up the next day. It was not. Made me question the overall cleanliness of the room. The room was loud. We could clearly hear everyone going by in the hallway and in the next room. Very hard to sleep in. I mentioned this to a Disney staff member and was told the walls were thin. Yikes. Had a great time and enjoyed our stay overall. However, for the price, I will look elsewhere next time. Read less
