During our last trip to Disney World, we stayed at Disney's BoardWalk Inn (first time) and fell in…read morelove with Disney's BoardWalk. Who knew that an entertainment district themed after turn-of-the-century Mid-Atlantic boardwalks (e.g., Coney Island, NY and Atlantic City, NJ) would have so much appeal? Well for us, it did. It's really charming and intimate, especially when compared to other parts of Disney World, like the relatively gargantuan Disney Springs. So, along with the fun and unique "seaside" period atmosphere, its size and the fact that this part of Disney isn't crowded had a lot to do with our enjoyment of Disney's BoardWalk. There's a black-and-white photo inside the BoardWalk Inn of the Three Stooges during an appearance at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City in 1938. To me, that photo encapsulates the time period and atmosphere that I think Disney aspired to recreate at the BoardWalk, and I think Disney was successful, for the most part. Aside from the Inn (and the Innkeeper's Club), highlights here include the Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, Screen Door General Store (for exclusive BoardWalk merch), and Atlantic Dance Hall (cool they have this art-deco music venue here). My wife and I would like to return and have dinner at restaurants Flying Fish (seafood) and Trattoria al Forno (Italian).

There is a good patch of grass that I imagine you can have a picnic on or read a book on. I loved walking over the bridge. This property connects to the other Disney properties. You can take the skyliner between this one and the other resorts. I also saw a ferry that I'm imagining you can take to Disney Springs! I saw a cool bakery restaurant that I would like to try in the future. I got a chance to try the pizza from the pizza place and I loved it. I have previously gone to Abracadabra bar as well as the Italian restaurant and both were really enjoyable. Definitely make the stop if you have the time! It's beautiful!

I needed a hat, so ofc they have a Lids, Nike, lululemon, a bunch of smaller electronic shops, high end designer stores like Gucci, ferragamo etc. I would come back or head up the street to the other big outlet. Either way it's a chill spot to kill time. The kiosk stands mostly overpriced dupes and reps. Vape stands highly overpriced. Ample trash cans around and pretty clean in general!

To be honest, I…read morewas expecting a bunch of knock off merchandise with weird looking Mickey's, but surprisingly, a lot of things were just old Official Disney merchandise. (PRO TIP: If you're into pin trading, stop by here before going to WDW.) They also have plenty of Florida merchandise and give you a free Florida t-shirt for a purchase over $75.

What a weird experience coming here. When it came time to pay, things just got weird. The people…read morethat were working weren't listening to us on how we wanted things charged separately. Then we noticed a 1¢ charge, we asked what that was & he said it's for the shirt... the free shirt advertised outside, at the door & when you check out. It's not about the penny, it's about the principle. If you think it's ok to lie to your customers about something so "small", then what else are they lying about? Idk, I walked out feeling very upset and unsettled by this place.

A few Disney-related shops are in the mix, but overall the shopping is for large name brands in apparel and home decor. Being a tourist to Florida, I felt limited to shop much. Where would I pack it for home?! We did enjoy browsing and grabbing a late lunch on the patio. Many parking areas are available. One is for crew members and if you park there, there's a strict requirement about when you can access the pedestrian crossing to get to Disney Springs. Security guards will block you. This is a popular area for locals and visitors. If you have a free day during your vacation and want to get away from your resort, consider a visit here.

I am glad the parking is free because charging for it would be akin to charging to park at your own shopping mall at home. Very clean and the staff we encountered were very nice.

One of my favorite things about Star Wars Weekends at Disney Hollywood Studio's are the unique…read moremerchandise items available at Darth's Mall. Darth's Mall has evolved over the years I have been attending Star Wars Weekends from a tent behind Rock 'n Roll Roller Coaster to a brick and mortar retail mecca located in Soundstage 1 in the Studio Backlot. It is Disney and Star Was together so it can be pricey but you can find many items that are not available anywhere else. A couple of years ago Disney D-Tech Me moved into Darth's Mall with a very creative offering. They will take a 3D image of your face and then transfer it to an action figure. They have several offerings to choose from such as a Stormtrooper, Rebel Pilot and 3D image yourself frozen in cabonite a la Han Solo from Empire Strikes back. Whether you are looking for hard to find toys, collectables, art or even decals for your vehicle Darth's Mall has it and if you time it right it's fun to get it.

The employee explained they do not have a machine to sanitize used bottles so the price listed for the beers on tap includes the glass growler. They had a choice of 5 different beers that touched the most popular styles of beer. This store has a beer cold room that runs almost the length of the store as well as an expansive selection of wines. The staff was friendly and willing to help you find what you are looking for. Also near the liquor store entrance there is a sign promoting inflated balloons sold in the main Target store. You can buy a single or a bouquet for $20.

I don't think I'm alone in this, multiple businesses have recently closed. I think what I'm most upset about is the 1% surcharge added to every check for "entertainment". At my last visit the entertainment was a solo guitarist playing to crowd of three people. It was hardly anything of value. For my time and money, there are better more affordable options to be found at Disney Springs, Icon or Old Town. The hours are also more predictable in those areas.
