    Three adults will be checking into The Boardwalk Villas in March 2025. We hope to arrive there by 8pm, and our wondering where we can dine at that hour without having to leave the Boardwalk area.

    Hiya, Margaret!

    Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that your upcoming vacation is just around the riverbend. Soon, you will be immersed in your home-away-from-home while surrounded by the magic of Disney.  Margaret, after a long day of traveling, I know how important it is to make sure you can find some grub to avoid that rumbly in your tumbly.  Luckily, Disney's BoardWalk area is where the people are, so there are quite a few dining locations available at that time.

    If you are hoping for a sit-down meal after your long journey, I would recommend making Dining Reservations for some of these locations to ensure you have an option for seating. The BoardWalk area can get busy in the evenings, and while sometimes you can get lucky with walk-up seating, I always like to make sure I can sit back and relax, and let the dining table present my dinner.  Some recommendations for table service dining include:
    • Trattoria Al Forno (casual Italian) - it is open until 10:00 p.m. and reservations are strongly recommended
    • Flying Fish (sustainable seafood) - it is open until 9:30 p.m. and reservations are strongly recommended
    • The Cake Bake Shop (variety of American, French, Cajun, and Italian) - it is open until 11:00 p.m. and reservations are strongly recommended
    Now, these times are the posted operating hours, however, they are subject to change. So just keep that in mind. 

    If you are like me, Margaret, and just like to grab something quick so I can unpack and get rested for my next day of zip-a-dee-doo-da Disney adventures, there are a couple of quick service options as well.  
    If none of these appeal to you, you can head over to the Disney Beach Club Villas and Disney's Yacht Club, as there are a few dining options over there as well. 

    I hope this helps you, Margaret! If you have any further Disney vacation planning questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you. I'll be right here, at the second star to the right and straight on til morning!

    Magically Yours,
    Keri
