Boardwalk area?

[riu girl]

We plan on visiting the Boardwalk area one evening of our vacation. Just wondering if the midway games run all year , how many approximately there are, and also, if there is an arcade anywhere in the Boardwalk area? If so, where it is located?

Thank you

The midway games are open year round, but only at night. There are 3, I think.

There's an arcade inside ESPN, a small one near the big pool (Luna Park) and also one beside Beaches and Cream over at the BC.

Thanks for the info. I have never been to this part of Disney and am really looking forward to it.

Does anyone know if any of the midway games are "prize every time" for children?

Nope, no prize every time for kids going on there.

Thanks for the info. Too bad. I just love the prize every time games for young kids.

The do run all year and only at night. No guaranteed prizes. Good thing or I'd never get my kids not to play... The boardwalk area is very nice you should enjoy it.

Thanks for the info.

Can't wait to see this area of Disney.

Any other suggestions for inexpensive family activities in the boardwalk area?

Other ideas:
It's fun to rent a surrey & bike around Crescent Lake--there are some pretty good hills, though. There are comic jugglers, other novelty acts, & musicians starting at about 7:00 in the evening. You can also walk to Fantasia Gardens mini-golf, located near the Swan resort. We enjoy just grabbing a snack from the bakery or ice cream parlor/candy store & finding a bench to people watch & soak up the atmosphere.
