| Also you can rent out bikes for 4 or more people and take a spin around the whole boardwalk. Also seen at 9pm: fireworks from Epcot.
A boat ride to MgM Studios is alot of fun or just take a boat ride back and forth and sit down and relax. Inside the boat is airconditioned. Also serving outside Spoodles: sliced pizzas. They even have little table outside so you can eat outside. If you have passes to Epcot you can also go in from Boardwalk thru the back entrance and end up in the countries.

| The last few times I've been to Disney's Boardwalk, there have been weddings going on in the little wedding pavillion (or arbour...whatever!!)
Its great to see the happy couples grinning from ear to ear, with the other two pairs of famous ears in attendance
Go take a look, its just up past ESPN, you never know, you may get lucky and see them their.

| We have just got back from Orlando and thanks to the information on this posting went to the Boardwalk in fact we visited almost every day!!
The Boardwalk bakery does a really good Breakfast Burrito and nice coffee plus a great selection of pastries be aware though it can get very busy so there may be a queue. Spoodles also open for breakfast and the fruit platter is fantastic huge chunks of fresh melon (3 types) fresh pineapple and a huge bunch of grapes.
Just to chill out on the red chairs at the lake front and people watch is a great way to spend a few hours. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Quite agree Chris My family and I simply adore the Broadwalk area, early morning and evening time are especially nice. Just strolling around, eating at one of the many restaurants there or sitting and watching the world go by is a favourite past time for us! Glad you had a nice time | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Ooo, tricky one. Disney roads tend to merge into one after a while.
It's near MGM/EPCOT and if you head for the Swan hotel or Fantasia mini golf then you won't be far off, in fact one end of the Boardwalk continues to the Swan/Fantasia golf.
It is sign posted so you shouldn't have too many problems once you get near.
Parking wise we've almost always been allowed in the parking lot attached to it but for one visit last time they sent us across the road to another parking lot, a little further to walk but still good enough. Might be worth saying you have reservations for one of the eateries. |

| We always go to the Boardwalk from Epcot, in the Worldshow case after France and before you get to England there is a walkway out of the park I think it's called international gateway, it's only about a 5 minutes walk. There is a disney ticket booth that you have to exit (so you need a disney ticket that let's you in and out of different parks). It's a lovely place to relax away from the theme parks.

| Is the Boardwalk similar to Downtown Disney ?
Can you drive up, park and stroll around and take a look or is there an entrance gate that you need a ticket?
I fancy going to Jellyrolls for an evening.

| No charge for The Boardwalk and you can normally park right next to it, although we have been directed just across the road to park once. There is a guard on the gate but just say yuo are eating and they should let you in.
We did it last night and parked in Fantasia Mini Golf, played a round, then wandered across from there through the Swan/Dolphin grounds...won't say too much or Mrs B will hit me for infringing on her trip report | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |
