Hi Abbie!
Disney's BoardWalk is a charming waterfront area located near Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. It offers a great mix of dining, shopping, and entertainment without needing a Theme Park Ticket.
As you stroll along Disney’s BoardWalk, you'll find unique shops where you can pick up souvenirs, beachwear, and enjoy an adult beverage or tasty treats. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially in the evenings, where you’ll often find street performers and live music adding to the ambiance.
For some fun, consider renting Surrey Bikes. It’s a great way to explore the BoardWalk area while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Dining is my love language and truly a highlight at the BoardWalk. I recommend making a reservation at
Trattoria al Forno, known for its delicious Italian cuisine and charming atmosphere.
Flying Fish is another fantastic option if you’re in the mood for fresh seafood and a more upscale dining experience. For something casual, Boardwalk Bakery offers delicious pastries and quick bites, perfect for a light meal.
After dinner, take a leisurely stroll to enjoy the picturesque views of the lake. If you're visiting as adults, don’t miss out on
Jellyrolls, a lively dueling piano bar where you can sing along to your favorite tunes while sipping on cocktails.
Please note that while you won’t need a Theme Park Ticket to visit, parking is limited and often restricted in the area unless you are staying at Disney’s Yacht Club, Disney’s Beach Club, or Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. I suggest considering a dining reservation, which will allow you to park at one of the mentioned Disney Resorts Collection hotels, or using Disney transportation to access the BoardWalk easily.
