The BoardWalk is rich with lounges and clubs. Atlantic Dance Hall and Jellyrolls (see page 214) serve up drinks and fun. In the resort itself is the Belle Vue Room, perfect for a quiet drink and a game of chess.  The new AbracadaBar is a fun spot for a curious cocktail. Leaping Horse Libations is the pool bar near Luna Park. 24-hour room service.

GETTING AROUND DISNEY'S BOARDWALK INN & VILLAS

Buses are boarded in the front of the resort, while boats depart from the marina (see the chart below for in-transit times). Travel elsewhere via a park (daytime) or Disney Springs (evening). You can walk to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Yacht & Beach Club, and Swan & Dolphin. If you miss the Disney’s Hollywood Studios boat, just walk quickly to the Swan & Dolphin boat dock before your missed boat reaches it and hop on. Valet parking is a $20/day option.

Approximate time you will spend in transit from resort to destination during normal operation.
