service restaurants. Dining in Epcot is also an option, but may be impractical for families
without hopper tickets. There's a bar inside and another at the pool.
Among them, the three Epcot resorts—the Beach and Yacht Clubs, and BoardWalk
Inn—provide within walking distance access to almost any amenity, including beaches,
nightly movies, campfires, jogging trails, playgrounds, a pirate cruise, boat rental, fishing,
a spa/fitness center, tennis, hot tubs, volleyball, a business center, and arcades.
At the Yacht Club you can pay extra for views. Standard view rooms are $437/night on
weekdays and $492/night on Fridays and Saturdays during the 2015 Fall season. 2015 peak
prices for these rooms are $672 and prices bottom out at $401/night.
Disney's Boardwalk Inn
Disney's BoardWalk Inn (“BWI”), an Epcot resort, has a split visual personality. One part
of it, facing Crescent Lake, is themed to recall Atlantic coast boardwalk vacation settings.
The rest—including the areas with the most rooms—is themed to recall a quieter and more
peaceful Colonial-revival style resort with garden courtyards. The BoardWalk Inn is Dis-
ney's smallest deluxe resort, but some corridors are as long as those at sister Epcot resorts
the Yacht and Beach Clubs. Cutting across the courtyards saves much walking. Connec-
ted through the lobby of the BoardWalk Inn is the enormous Disney Vacation Club prop-
erty Disney's BoardWalk Villas, also available to all for rent. Guest services and a small
shop are in the lobby, and more shopping is downstairs on the BoardWalk. Dining is a little
weird—there's next to none “in” the BoardWalk Inn, but several restaurants are access-
ible just outside on the Boardwalk. In the Villas area you'll find the fun amusement-park
themed main pool and a second smaller pool. A third pool, also small, is in an internal
courtyard of the Inn.
