The area is modeled on turn of the century seaside towns of the Mid Atlantic and New England.

Accommodation includes Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Villas (the lobby of which has beautiful furnishings, interesting models of roller coasters and carousels, and music that will take you back to the Great Gatsby era. There are window seats along the hall of the lobby and the chandeliers and hard wood floors are truly amazing), Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club and also Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts.

Admission to Disney’s Boardwalk area is free, as is parking – just say you are visiting. 

Shopping

The Screen Door General Store sells a variety of Disney Merchandise as well as some grocery items.

Don’t miss the Wyland Gallery where you will find a gallery of Marinelife paintings by renowned artists.

Along the Boardwalk itself are numerous kiosks selling accessories, pins, etc.

Entertainment

Varies from dancing, singing, to catching the latest sporting action.

The Atlantic Dance Hall is an elegant nightclub with art décor interior and a ceiling topped with twinkling stars.

At Jellyrolls there are the Duelling Piano Players where you can have a good singsong.

At the ESPN Club there are three action-packed sections:

•        The Sidelines, - an interactive multimedia entertainment centre;
•        The Yard, - a sporting arcade of interactive games;
•        and Sports Central, - a full-service restaurant with television and radio broadcast.
 
Stroll along the Boardwalk after dark and the area is magically lit up. You may come across a magician, juggler, tarot card reader, singing entertainers and even a sword swallower.

Dining

There is plenty of variety available here from casual dining at ESPN Club or Big River Grille and Brewing Works to specialty dining at Spoodles where you can try menus from around the Mediterranean.
Surrey Bikes.

This has to be one of the favourite activities for families and groups – renting the fringed topped surrey bikes. Pedal your way around Lake Crescent passing Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club or the Swan and Dolphin. Bikes can be rented until 10.30pm. 

Epcot Fireworks.

Take another chance to watch part of Epcot’s nightly firework display – free! Although you can not see the same detail as you would from the World Showcase area in Epcot, it is still worth watching.

Water Activities

At the Bayside Marina it is possible to rent various forms of water transport.

Visit Boardwalk both in the daytime hours and after dark to get a completely different experience. At night it is magical with the reflections of the lights on the water of Lake Crescent and watch the brightly lit boats returning guests from their day out at Epcot.
