hi everyone

we are hoping to go to the boardwalk this year, we have never been before and know that it is close to epcot but don't know too much about it.

Could someone please help us with the following:

1) How do you get to boardwalk?
2) Can you wak to it?
3) Wgat is there to do when you get there?
4)Does anyone know where you can find a route plan if you can walk to it?

Thanks in advance

You can drive and park at the boardwalk for free, the security at the gate may ask for ID. Don't panic they are used to people going to the boardwalk

get a disney bus

or if your in Epcot leave via the international gate between France & UK this will bring you to the lake wth Boardwalk on the left & Y & B on the right

you can also walk from MGM. about 10 -15 mins


ESPN. which is a sports bar where you can eat have a drink and watch sports. 2 or 3 other eateries including the boardwalk brewery.

Cafe and bakery, disney shop

club and duelling pianos for evenings

in the evening normally some strolling entertainment and aslo some fund fair type games

depends on where you are staying. if you are staying on site you will be able to use your privileges i.e there are boats from mgm, epcot, the bus of course. you may be able to pool hop depending on time of year. the boardwalk is built around a lake and you have the yaght and beach club, swan and dolphin and approx 5 restaurants alone on the actual boardwalk. The Boardwalk is our home resort and we find it center to most places you can view epcot fireworks from the bridge i could go on and on it is a special place

The other thing you can do is hire a surrey bike. myself DH and DD hired one at Christmas, its "generally flat" apart from the two bridges at either end and its a great way to get around and see things.

On our next trip we are planning on going to Beaches and Cream to tackle this

I feel like I should get in training or something but how do you plan for that

To be perfectly honest, the Boardwalk is not really worth visiting during the day. It really comes alive at night, though, with magicians and various other street entertainers.

Yes, I believe Spoodles does Mickey pancakes (although it's really just 3 pancakes shaped like a Mickey head)

We have some great memories of the Boardwalk - it was the first place we stayed with our DVC points a few years ago.

Boardwalk is all about location, Beach Club across the lake , EPCOT a short stroll away, Spoodles, Bakery, Jellyrolls and of course the ESPN club (which is paradise).

DH loves the brew pub there

We have a meal booked at spoodles at 1800hrs.We are going to fantasia golf before hand then staying on the boardwalk for the evening.Looking forward to it

Does anyone else remember when Spoodles did the all you can eat breakfast buffet?
Loved that. sad to see that go.

If you are feeling fit you can also rent Surrey bikes and ride round the Epcot resort lake - takes you round past the Yacht and Beach Club, Swan & Dolphin and the Boardwalk - great fun (until you get to the bridges!)

we are also heading to the boardwalk for the 1st time in september, thanks for all the info

It will be our first time at the boardwalk in September too. I have rented a villa and studion for a couple of nights for my boyfriends birthday - he doesn't know it yet but we are also checking out Sea Breeze Point for a couple of years time!

we plan to go after a meal at the yachtsman steakhouse, I assume we can walk to it from here?

Yes, both the Beach Club resorts and Boardwalk are seperated by a large lake, hence it's just a short stroll between both resorts.
The big advantage in staying at this location in my opinion.
