TIPS FOR DISNEY'S BOARDWALK INN & VILLAS

The Belle Vue Room is a marvel of nostalgia. It’s tucked away in a corner down the hall from the lobby on the Inn side of the resort. You’ll find backgammon, chess, and checkers tables (ask a cast member for game pieces), as well as a single-malt scotch menu.

Take a stroll through the grounds, away from the busy Promenade. The landscaping is a delight. If you prefer the bustle of the BoardWalk, rent a surrey bike and tour around the promenade and lake.

The BoardWalk Inn’s Garden Suites have to be the most romantic in the “World.” Each of the 14 suites looks like a two-story cottage. All suites have private entrances and most have a unique garden surrounded by a white picket fence with a trellised arbor gate. Suites have a separate living room, sleeper sofa, and a wet bar on the first floor, while the open second floor has a king-size bed, a separate shower, and a large whirlpool tub.

Look for several quaint sitting areas scattered about the resort.
