Hi Debbie!
Thank you for the compliment and for sending in your question to the Moms Panel. We all enjoy answering guest questions very much.
You can definitely park at the Boardwalk Inn while visiting Disney's Boardwalk. You can explore the resort, enjoy the many restaurants on the Boardwalk, go to the night clubs, stroll around Crescent Lake, etc. If you've never been to
Jellyrolls, I highly recommend it; it's a dueling piano bar and it is a blast! I personally also enjoy eating dinner at a restaurant like the
Flying Fish Cafe on the Boardwalk and then walking over to Beach and Cream at the Beach Club Resort for ice cream.
When you pull into the parking lot area, just tell the Cast Member that you are visiting the Boardwalk and he or she will direct you to the proper place to park. Just know that it is a relatively long walk to the Boardwalk. If you have a Tables in Wonderland Card and you will be dining, then you can enjoy free valet parking. Just be sure to show them your Tables in Wonderland Card and your receipt from a restaurant that takes the discount when they retrieve your car.
Write back if you have any more questions!
