Disney’s Boardwalk Inn

Home » Experience » Walt Disney World® Resort » Accommodations » Epcot Resort Area » Disney's Boardwalk Inn

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn has an intimate charm capturing the feeling of a 1930s mid-Atlantic seacoast retreat. In the lobby is a nostalgic living room scene of chintz-covered, oversize chairs, invitingly plump sofas, and potted palms set atop gleaming hardwood floors and floral area rugs. Looming overhead is a barrel-shaped ceiling embellished with delicate latticework and a whimsical carousel chandelier consisting of half horse and half sea creatures finished in 22-karat gold leaf. Views from the lobby’s lofty windows are of a courtyard green fronting a festive, old-fashioned boardwalk. Step outside and have a seat in one of the veranda’s wicker rocking chairs, perfect for bathing in the pink glow of sunset as Disney’s BoardWalk slowly comes alive.

The resort’s gleaming white, four-story buildings, dotted with latticework and crowned with sea-green roofs and striped awnings surround interior courtyards fragrant with blooming roses and crepe myrtle. It may be just a short walk away from Epcot’®s International Gateway entrance. Still, a stay here has a somewhat different feel than other Disney Deluxe Resorts because shops and restaurants are outside the Inn and lobby area on Disney’s BoardWalk instead of inside the resort.

Accommodations

Guest Rooms

Newly renovated in 2024, these Victorian-style accommodations average 434 square feet, all with French doors leading to full-size balconies or patios. Sea-green and buttercup yellow plaid fabric headboards decorate either a king or two queen beds made with white sheeting. A white bureau over which is a large TV, and prints of a turn-of-the-century boardwalk adorn the walls. A sea-green-colored, flip-over single sofa sleeper with bolster accent pillows, soft yellow wall paint, and plank-style hardwood flooring completes the look.

The bath has two parts: in one area of the bathroom is a dark wood vanity with beige quartz countertops that come with double sinks, a hairdryer, full length as well as a lighted makeup mirror. Next to it is a separate commode and a tub/shower surrounded by faux marble tile with colorful bubble tile accents. The nautical-style closet has a keyed safe, iron, and ironing board, and to its side is a counter with a Keurig coffeemaker and an under-counter refrigerator.

Club Level Rooms

Consider upgrading to one of the 65 concierge-level rooms that come in either a standard view or a Boardwalk view category. The Innkeeper’s Club lounge on the 4th floor enjoys a super concierge staff and a balcony from which to watch Epcot’s nighttime extravaganza. Additional amenities include private check-in and checkout, guest robes, and evening turndown service with a sweet treat of saltwater taffy.

NOTE: Included in Club Level is one Deluxe Room and one King Guest Room located outside the keyed concierge area on the 4^th floor. Not very special, so request NOT to be in one.

As well as standard-size rooms, the concierge level has ten very spacious, 644-square-foot Deluxe Rooms, all with a spectacular view of Disney’s BoardWalk and Crescent Lake, and even a view of the Magic Kingdom® fireworks in the far distance. They come with two queen beds, a bureau over which is a flat-screen TV, an open seating area outfitted with a queen-size sleeper sofa, coffee table, two easy chairs, and additional bureau and TV. The bath is a standard size, and the water-view balcony overlooks the boardwalk. Five Deluxe Rooms are on the 3rd floor and the other five on the 4th floor, but you will find a stairwell nearby for easy access to the concierge lounge for 3rd-floor guests. Two adjoining, room numbers 3227 and 3229, perfect for families (on request only). Tour Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Deluxe Room on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube channel.

A gated, white picket fence encircles the serene, two-story Outer Building Concierge Garden Rooms with 915 to 1,100 square feet, most with a fenced front yard complete with a rose garden, arbor, mailbox, birdhouse, and porch. Downstairs is a comfortable living area with a soft green sectional sofa, bureau with a TV, coffee table, desk, closet, and half bath. In an alcove sits a wet bar with sink, microwave, coffeemaker, and refrigerator. Upstairs is a loft bedroom with a king bed, bureau with a TV, and a bathroom with double sink, oversized tub, and separate shower. Three of the fourteen Garden Suites (rooms 1205, 1206, and 1207) have an upstairs loft bedroom with French doors leading out to a bonus balcony that overlooks the quiet pool; their living rooms hold a smaller sleeper sofa instead of a sectional. A maximum of two people allowed even though there is a sleeper sofa. All require walking outside and over to the main building to access the concierge lounge.

Suites

Four 2-Bedroom Suites, all located on the 4th floor, comes with 1,288 square feet, hardwood flooring, and area rugs throughout. A small parlor, decorated in cream, buttercup yellow and plum, is fiurnished with a queen sleeper sofa, coffee table, occasional chair, bureau, flat-screen TV, and dining table for four. There’s also a wet bar with a sink, microwave, undercounter refrigerator, and Nespresso coffee maker. A half bath is off the foyer. The primary bedroom offers a king bed, easy chair with an ottoman, and bureau with a flat-screen TV. Leading into the master bath is an open area with a makeup vanity desk with a wonderful backlit mirror and an armoire-style closet. The primary bathroom features white mosaic floor tiling, an oversized, freestanding, non-whirlpool tub, separate commode area, marble shower, and double sinks in a taupe granite countertop. Opposite the living area is a standard guest room with upgraded decor, two queen beds, and its own entrance. Balconies extend the length of the suite, and all have a view of the gardens. Suite number 4205 has a bonus of an Epcot fireworks view but loses points with its view of a slice of the road.

The Vice Presidential Sonora Suite offers a refreshing new look with a base of cream and plenty of rich aqua blue, emerald green, and coral pinks in its 1,744 square feet. From the hallway, enter the living room where the feel is a bit art-deco in the lovely rich colors found in the furnishing and area rugs that sit atop light wood flooring. Décor here consists of a cream sofa accented with touches of aqua in its throw pillows, two chenille easy chairs, one aqua, one emerald green, and a round, opalescent coffee table. Behind the sofa sits a writing desk and chair, and over an aqua credenza is a large, wall-mounted TV. A Japonisme-influenced mural decorates the dining room whose glass-topped table is surrounded by eight upholstered chairs. Off the entry is a service kitchen on one side and a marble half bath on the other. A shallow stand-up balcony runs the length of the suite from the primary bedroom through the living and dining area with a separate balcony off the guest room.

On one side of the living area is an upgraded standard-size guest room with two queen beds and a bath; on the other side is the primary bedroom featuring a king-size bed with an aqua velvet headboard, sea green walls, and a bureau with a wall-mounted TV. The marble and granite primary bathroom comes with a double sink, separate shower, oversized alcove tub, and separate commode area, all highlighted with lovely mosaic tile flooring. The outstanding view from the balcony is an all-encompassing panorama of Crescent Lake. I do like the story behind the suite’s name: Sonora Carver was a woman who had a diving-horse act in the 1920s at the Atlantic City Boardwalk, plunging 40 feet on the back of a horse to land in a tank of water.

From deep balconies that run the length of the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Presidential Steeplechase Suite is sweeping views of the BoardWalk and Crescent Lake. This 2,170-square-foot suite offers a Victorian elegance with crown molding ceilings in the massive living room done up in shades of gold, cherry, and olive green. It features hardwood flooring topped with large area rugs and two seating areas: one with two tufted gold brocade sofas, easy chair, tufted seating ottoman, desk, game table and chairs, and a TV remotely controlled to ascend from a cabinet; the other with oversized easy and kid-sized chairs fronting a large TV. Behind closed doors off the tasteful 8-person dining area with its green and blue striped upholstered chairs and dark wood table is a kitchen with its own service entrance, wet bar, under-counter refrigerator, Keurig coffeemaker, and microwave.

The master bedroom boasts a crystal chandelier, mahogany bed with silver trim laid with gold and green striped bolsters and gold bed runner, easy chair and ottoman, oversized wall-mounted TV, and bureau. In the master bath are mosaic tile flooring, walk-in closet, oversized free-standing, non-whirlpool tub, Carrera marble shower, and a built-in makeup vanity space between the two sinks set in a taupe granite countertop. In a separate area are a bidet and commode. The second bedroom is standard in size with a king bed, occasional chair and ottoman, and upgraded bedding with a somewhat Asian feel; it also offers an accessible upgraded bath with roll-in shower and single sink. A granite and mosaic tile half bath are located off the entry. View the Boardwalk Inn’s Steeplechase Suite on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube Channel!
