Disney's BoardWalk Inn is a hotel at the
Walt Disney World Resort and opened on July 1, 1996. The hotel
is officially called
Disney's BoardWalk Resort, but is more commonly known as
Disney's BoardWalk Inn.It was built to be very reminiscent of
the
boardwalks that were famous along Coney Island,
New York in the 1920s-1940s.
The
sherbet-colored facades, flagged turrets, striped awnings,
and even the waterslide, the "Keister Coaster" resembling a
wooden roller coaster are all inspired by that by-gone era. It
is one of the
Epcot Area Resorts, located across the lagoon from
Disney's Beach Club Resort and
Disney's Yacht Club Resort, and it is a short walk to
Epcot and
Disney-MGM Studios. There is water transport available,
free-of-charge, to Epcot, The Disney-MGM Studios, The Yacht and
Beach Club Resorts and the Swan and Dolphin resorts. The hotel
also shares its lobby with
Disney's BoardWalk Villas.
