Hi Jennifer, welcome back to planDisney!
BoardWalk Villas is the perfect place to celebrate a milestone birthday. I absolutely love the energy of the
BoardWalk at night and that you can walk to both
EPCOT and
Hollywood Studios.
Last month I stayed in one of the refurbished BoardWalk 2-Bedroom Villas and they’re gorgeous! I’m obsessed with the new art featuring Mickey and friends enjoying the resort grounds. If you open the Murphy bed, you’ll see my favorite piece—Goofy and Max sleeping in a BoardWalk Deluxe Studio with the
Beach &
Yacht Club Resorts outside their window!
The good news is that the majority of rooms at BoardWalk Villas have been refurbished. I confirmed with a Cast Member that the odds are pretty good that you’ll get one of the new rooms, especially since you’re arriving in June. While it’s not guaranteed, and the refurbishment timeline can always change, my fingers are crossed for you!
While you’re at the BoardWalk, here are a couple of suggestions for celebrating just steps away from where you're staying. On my sister’s milestone birthday trip, we had so much fun with the dueling pianos at
Jellyrolls. They usually play a mix of Disney tunes and other popular songs that will have everyone singing along!
I also recently ate lunch at
The Cake Bake Shop, which would be another great place to go for a special occasion. While it’s famous for the cake, my friends and I couldn’t get enough of the pesto burrata! And if you’re looking for something with a bit of extra pixie dust, you might enjoy the
Roses of Gold Afternoon Tea, a luxurious experience filled with tea, snacks, and pastries.
Lastly, don’t forget to pick up a birthday button at the front desk. I hope you have the most magical celebration! And we’d love for you to come back to
planDisney if you have any other questions before your trip.
