Disney’s BoardWalk Inn recreates the golden age of the Atlantic seaboard, when seaside boardwalks buzzed with bands, carnival games and saltwater taffy. The resort sits along a quarter-mile boardwalk on Crescent Lake with its own restaurants, bars and nightly street performers, and EPCOT is a short stroll away.
