Disney's BoardWalk Villas
Disney's BoardWalk Villas is a resort in Florida near the EPCOT area designed to resemble an early 20th century seaside town. The property features spacious villas and hotel buildings with detailed facades lining a walkable waterfront with shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues overlooking Crescent Lake.
The resort opened in the mid-1990s and quickly became a favorite among many visitors. Its central location makes it easy to reach EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, either on foot or by boat.
The resort evokes a vintage seaside town atmosphere where guests naturally walk and gather outdoors along the waterfront. The design details create a nostalgic setting that transports visitors to an earlier era of leisure and entertainment.
Bus service to the parks runs regularly, though wait times may increase during peak periods. A boat dock offers scenic service to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, and walking to EPCOT's International Gateway is also quick and convenient.
The resort offers free yoga classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings where visitors can stretch while overlooking Crescent Lake. This complimentary activity is an overlooked perk that allows guests to enjoy the water views in a peaceful way before the day becomes busy.
