I recently stayed at Disney's BoardWalk Inn for 10 nights. My initial impression was very positive; the property is indeed beautiful. However, there were a few issues that impacted my overall experience.
Upon entering our room, we discovered hairs on the bed sheets and bathroom door. I called house keeping letting them know the issue however there was no offer of compensation, which was disappointing given the premium rate we paid.
Another point of concern was the hotel’s layout. Since most amenities are outdoors, walking to the restaurants became quite inconvenient, particularly during rainy weather.
Additionally, we found the shared bus service with the Yacht and Beach Clubs to be frustrating. The BoardWalk Inn was consistently the last stop for both pickups and drop-offs, which often meant standing during the ride.
Overall, considering the high cost, I expected a higher level of service. I’m unsure if I would choose this hotel again, and I might explore the Beach Club next time, especially for their reputedly better pools.

Here’s the deal with even a nice Disney World property like this one, you just can’t imagine the terrible, loud and obnoxious neighbors next door. Families of 5 people staying in a room for 2 with cribs and fold-out beds?? Definitely request a “non” adjoining room to minimize the decibels. We had to move rooms and the front desk staff were helpful & apologetic. This property has some lovely touches, but the hardcore Disneyphiles take away from the charm

Great location next to epcot and walking distance or Sky Tram to Disney Studios.
The boardwalk itself was disappointing as not hustle and bussle like it use to be. But still a few places to eat. Encourage you to stay in a garden room or club level as the club really enhances your visit.

I'm probably not the best person to review the Boardwalk room makeovers. This is the only hotel I choose to stay at at Disney as it functions best on service, location and ambience for our adventures. We love the Belvidere Lounge and being able to stop there with our new mugs in the morning for coffee, which we drink outside meeting new people from all different places. I find the new style cold and Ikea-esk. The one chair is attractive but incredibly uncomfortable. The sofa already looks worn. I don't want to meet whoever chose the lighting. It screams many things, but not Boardwalk. I am saying this as someone who has lived in a 1904 home at the Jersy shore. Also, the desk has disappeared. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to keep up with my work emails. Not impressed. As to ADA, we were placed near the quiet pool as requested. We are on the second floor which means either a lengthy hike down 3 halls or cut across the green and up a set of metal/concrete utility stairs with a disabled veteran on a cane. Good help us if there is a fire. #Boardwalk #ada #quiet #work #desk

I love the new decor of the rooms at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn the blue’s and beige’s are perfect. AND they thought of everything when they redesigned the rooms. Plenty of USB ports and plugs for all your charging needs and the cutest little side table for the person sleeping on the side of the bed closest to the wall.
There are so many amazing options for sit down dining at the resort including Italian, seafood, a microbrewery, and a deli. The only draw back is that all the dining locations are located on the boardwalk so if there is inclement weather you will get wet getting to your dining location. There is the Belle Vue lounge inside the resort but it is small and no longer serves breakfast. Disney’s Boardwalk resort doesn’t have a true quick service dining option. The deli does provide some options but is limited in what you can order.
There is still some construction going on for the new bakery located on the boardwalk. I personally wouldn’t want to be in a room near that area. This resort is massive so be sure and put your room requests in as some of the rooms are a very long ways from the main transportation and dining. However, you can’t beat the quick access to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios from this resort.
