SPEAKER_01Welcome to Mouse Management and More. I'm your host, Megan Howard. Whether you have been here since episode one or this is the very first time you have pressed play, I'm so glad you found us. Right now, we are deep in our resort series. Because I truly believe that where you stay shapes your entire Disney experience, and every property deserves its own story. But this show is building into something much bigger than that, and I cannot wait for what is coming. But for now, thank you for being here. If you have been with us since the very beginning, you've already seen Disney's Boardwalk In. You just might not have realized what you were looking at. Back in episode seven and episode eight, we were talking about the yacht club and the beach club. I kept mentioning what you see across the water. The sherbet colored buildings, the striped awnings, the light strings, the sound of something lively drifting from the far end of the promenade. That was the boardwalk, and I promised you we'd get there. Well, we are here, but before we start, I want to kind of paint a picture for you. A few years back, I had Brooke, my daughter, in tow. She was about two years old, maybe just barely two, and we made our way to the Jersey shore. It was my first time. We spent most of our time in Ocean City and Cape May with a few hours in Atlantic City. And I want to be clear with you. I had been to carnivals, I had been to county fairs, funnel cake, ring toss, the tilt-a-whirl. I knew all of that. But none of it prepared me for what a real boardwalk at the shore actually felt like. A carnival is temporary. It shows up in a parking lot, runs for a week, and disappears by Monday. A county fair is once a year, and it smells like hay and corndogs and something frying and a lot of oil. I love both of those things, but a boardwalk is permanent. It is a whole neighborhood built around the idea of joy, and it does not pack up and leave. This was like all of those things decided to grow up, put down roots, and move to the ocean. There was music coming from somewhere I could not see. The boards under our feet made that sound, that hollow, slightly creaky sound that is somehow one of the most satisfying things to walk on in the world. Taffy in every window, hot dogs. The smell of sunscreen and salt air and warm sugar all layered over each other all at once. People everywhere with absolutely nobody in a hurry. Brooke was wide-eyed the entire time, which is exactly what you hope for when you take a two-year-old somewhere wonderful. We ate too much, we walked too far, and I have never once wished any of it had gone any differently. Those memories stayed with me, and the first time I walked onto the promenade at Disney's Boardwalk Inn, something clicked into place. This is that feeling. Someone bottled it up and brought it here, and it has been waiting. So let's talk a little bit about the history. To understand what the imagineers were drawing from, it helps to know the real history. The very first boardwalk of its kind opened in Atlantic City on June 26, 1870. But not for romance or entertainment, but to solve a very practical problem. Hotel guests kept tracking sand through their lobbies. The simple wooden walkway that they laid over the beach that summer started something that transformed the entire American coastal experience. By the early 1900s, Atlantic City's boardwalk was one of the most celebrated destinations in the country. And Coney Island's Luna Park, which opened in 1903 and at its peak, drew 90,000 visitors every day. It had become the most electrifying entertainment destination in the world. Both of these real places are woven into the DNA of what you walk through at Disney's boardwalk today. Even the pool has a name, Luna Park, lifted directly from the legendary Coney Island original. That is the world Disney set out to build. And in 1996, they gave it a permanent address. Disney's Boardwalk Inn opened on July 1st, 1996, designed by architect Robert A. M. Stern, the same man behind the yacht club and the beach club just across the water. That single creative thread is a big part of why the entire Crescent Lake area feels so cohesive from a distance. Even though every resort is a completely different world the moment you step inside. For the boardwalk specifically, Stern's inspiration was as precise as it gets. The golden age of the American Coastal Resort, the 1920s and 1930s, when Atlantic City was in its prime, when Coney Island was at its most joyful, when people put on their nicest summer clothes to ride the streetcar to the shore and spend an evening surrounded by something alive and beautiful. This was not a generic seaside feeling. It was a studied, intentional portrait of a particular chapter in American history. But here is what most people do not know. The original version was far wilder than anything that survived. A former Disney imagineer who worked on the project has since revealed that the boardwalk was not conceived as a resort with some entertainment attached. It was originally designed to be a full-scale amusement empire, built specifically to compete with Universal Studios, Florida, and the booming downtown Orlando nightlife scene. Early concept layouts featured an active midway district with working mechanical rides, a Ferris wheel tall enough to be seen from across Crescent Lake, a roller coaster running right along the promenade, and a dramatically expanded nightlife footprint packed with theaters and late night clubs meant to pull the same crowds that were flocking to Pleasure Island at the time. It was going to be loud, kinetic, and completely unlike anything else Disney had ever built at a resort. And then reality stepped in twice. The first problem had no clean solution. All of that high decimal, late night carnival energy was planned to sit directly beneath and beside premium hotel rooms at the Disney Vacation Club villas. Running a roller coaster and pumping club music under guests who had paid deluxe prices to sleep was a guest experience problem the Imagineers simply could not design their way around. The second hit came from the budget. Disney was still recovering from the financial strain of Euro Disney's difficult opening in the early 1990s. And the money for the grandest elements was just not there. What survived was the spirit, the theming, the aesthetic, the idea of an evening destination with real energy, even if the rides and the scale had to go. And you can still feel that original ambition today. In everything from the Luna Park pool to the street performers to the way the promenade hums on a Saturday night, it made it through just in a different form. What emerged was something more refined and somehow more timeless. Sherbert-colored Victorian facades, striped awnings, flagged turrets, and light strings that curve around Crescent Lake as if the whole thing grew up from the shore the same way the real boardwalks did. The main resort, Disney's Boardwalk Inn, has 378 guest rooms. There is also Disney Boardwalk Villas next door, which is part of the Disney Vacation Club. And that is a wonderful conversation for another day. Today we're talking about the inn. And since we're talking about the inn, let's talk about that location because this is one of the things that makes the boardwalk so special. The resort sits on Crescent Lake in the heart of the Epcot Resort area, and its most valuable feature might be what waits at the end of a 10-minute walk. Epcot's International Gateway Entrance. The back entrance, tucked between the France and the United Kingdom pavilions in the World Showcase. It's right there. No bus, no boat required if you do not want one, just a walk along the promenade, and you're inside one of the most beloved parks at Walt Disney World. For Epcot fans, for festival devotees, for anyone who has ever wanted to pop in for a late dinner at a world showcase restaurant and then stroll back to the hotel, this location is made for you. Hollywood Studios is also reachable from the boardwalk. There is a scenic water taxi that runs along the canal. And on a clear afternoon, that boat ride is its own special magic moment. You can also walk, though it's a little bit longer route than the Epcot path, closer to about 20 minutes, with some stretches without shade. If you are parkopping and want the most effortless trip to the studios, just take the boat. Because the entire Crescent Lake area works as one connected village, you can also walk to the Yacht Club, the Beach Club, and the Swan and Dolphin from there. Their dining becomes part of your world with no transportation at all. A whole collection of restaurants, bars, and lounges across multiple resorts, all reachable on foot, all available to you simply because of where you choose to stay. Think about this variety of access. Three parks reachable, multiple resorts within walking distance, no car required, is a real advantage of the kind of trip where you want to move at your own pace and let the day lead you. So let's talk about room options. There are 378 guest rooms at the boardwalk in, and they have a warm Victorian coastal feel, wood tone, soft hues inspired by the seaside, and the kind of decor that makes you feel like you're sleeping in a beautifully preserved era, even though everything around you is current. Most rooms have two queen beds and a day bed or a king with a day bed, which gives families good flexibility. Views range from garden and courtyard facing rooms all the way up to the boardwalk views, which put you directly overlooking the promenade and Crescent Lake. A boardwalk view room after sundown, with the lights glowing below and the music drifting up is the kind of hotel moment that stays with you long after checkout. Now I do need to tell you about something unique to this property. Something you truly cannot find anywhere else at Walt Disney World. The garden suites. The garden suites at the Boardwalk Inn are two-story accommodations with their own private fenced outdoor garden space accessed through a personal gate at ground level. You have a patio, you have chairs, you have a little corner of this resort that belongs to only you. If you have ever wanted to step out of a Disney hotel room in the morning and into your own private outdoor space, the garden suites exist for exactly that. There is nothing else like them on Disney property. The concierge level here is called the Innkeepers Club, and it sits on the fourth floor with its own dedicated staff, private check-in and checkout, evening turndown service, and a lounge that has a balcony overlooking Crescent Lake. On nights when Epcot has its nighttime spectacular, guests in the Innkeepers Club Lounge can watch the show rising over the water from that balcony. That is the kind of detail that makes a concierge level feel like something more than just a breakfast upgrade. Okay, let's move on to some amenities. Mostly the pool. Let's talk about the pool. Because the boardwalk pool is not just a simple amenity, it really is an experience. Luna Park Pool is the main pool at the boardwalk in, and it is themed to a 1920s amusement park in the most wonderful way. The centerpiece is a full water slide called the Keister Coaster, 200 feet of curves and dips designed to look and feel like a wooden coaster from the early 20th century. Complete with a ticket booth at the top. Today the slide exits through a colorful burst featuring Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, and Pluto. If you have heard longtime guests talk about the giant clown face that used to be at the bottom, that is real. It was a boardwalk original, a slightly surreal fixture that guests either loved or found genuinely unsettling, and sometimes both at once. It was retired in 2020, and Mickey and friends took over in its place. The slide itself is still every bit as fun, and the storytelling around it, the ticket booth at the top, the roller coaster shape, the era-specific design is still completely in keeping with everything the resort is all about. For guests who want something calmer, there are also two quiet pools and a hot tub tucked around the resort. No slides, no crowds, just water and an unhurried afternoon. Okay, so now let's talk dining because there's a lot happening here, and some of it's changed recently. Let me give you the full current picture. The signature dining experience at the boardwalk is the flying fish, and it has been earning that title for a very long time. This is a contemporary American restaurant with a focus on premium sustainable seafood and steaks set in a show kitchen environment where the chefs are working right in front of you. The interior alone is worth a moment. Glass flying fish swim across the ceiling above you, and the whole room has a warm, elevated, slightly underwater feel that is elegant without being stiff. The menu rotates with the seasons, but a few things keep finding their way back. The potato wrapped red snapper has been a signature here almost since day one. And if it's on the menu that night, that's your move. The scallops with savory grits and sweet corn are the kind of thing people still talk about on their way home. And if you want to start somewhere, the lobster bisque is the answer. The wine program is extensive, the presentation is beautiful, and if there's a celebration on the agenda, or you just want to have a dinner that feels like a real occasion, Flying Fish is the kind of place that delivers on that. It is worth planning for. And the bakery side is a walk-up operation serving cakes, pastries, and coffee from seven in the morning until eleven at night. The shop itself is all soft glitter and warm light, with cakes displayed on French porcelain platters under glass domes. It photographs beautifully, and it is every bit as good as it looks. Now, a little heads up on the price before you fall in love with the menu. A slice of cake runs about $23. And the first time you see that number, it will give you pause. But here is what you need to know. These are not standard size slices, they come close to the size of a small whole cake, comfortably shareable between at least two people. And honestly, I would say between three or four. The standouts on the menu are Gwendolyn's famous Earl's Court Chocolate Cake, which won Best Chocolate Cake at the London Cake and Bake Show, and is one of the most ordered things on the menu every single day. Then there's Oprah's O-List mint chocolate chip cake, which is gluten-free and which Oprah herself chose for her famous list. And the Pixie Fatty birthday cake, which is the Disney specific one that has been all over TikTok. If a full slice of cake is not what you are after, the unicorn hot chocolate has its own viral moment going. Steamed whole milk with white chocolate, almond, and strawberry, topped with fresh whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and pixie feti confetti. It looks like something out of a dream and it has been showing up in everybody's feed for months. If you are on the promenade and you see a crowd gathered around a window, you've found the right place. Abercadabra bar is the lounge tucked beside Stratorio Alforno, and it is one of the most atmospheric bars at any Disney resort. It is themed to the golden age of magic and illusion, named for a fictional magician, Donatello the Magnificent, who, in the story Disney invented for the bar, was a celebrated performer on this very boardwalk back in the roaring twenties. The resort obviously did not exist then, of course, but that is exactly the kind of layered storytelling Disney does. They built a fictional history for a cocktail lounge and somehow made it feel completely real. The drinks are super creative, the atmosphere is wonderful, and it is adults focused in the very best way. The cocktail menu leans fully into the magic theme. The parlor trick is a bourbon old fashioned with four roses small batch that is as smooth as the name implies. The Collins Double is a riff on the classic Tom Collins made with an old Tom Gin and housemade sweet and sour. And the Who Dunnits punch is a rum and tropical juice situation that fits the promenade energy perfectly. Even the names are part of the performance. If you find yourself on the promenade with a little time and you're in the mood for something with a little bit of mystery and a great cocktail, Abracadabra bar is exactly that kind of discovery. For quick bites and grab and go, the boardwalk has you covered in several ways. Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs is a walk-up window. And if you love a good corndog, and I certainly do, this one has a story worth knowing. Blue ribbon actually started at Disneyland. And when it came to Disney World, it brought that whole West Coast corndog situation with it. These are not standard fare, they are made to order. You get a buzzer, you wait, and what comes out is enormous. We are talking almost lightsaber-sized, and the menu goes well beyond classic. The Golden Dragon is an all-beef corn dog dusted in panko with sriracha mayo and sweet Thai chili. The Mexican street corn dog is a jalapeno cheddar sausage in cornmeal batter topped with garlic mayo, cojita cheese, and cilantro. And if you want something on the sweet side, then you've got to try the fried King's Hawaiian rolls. Deep fried, dusted in cinnamon sugar, drizzled with condensed milk, they've been going viral for a reason. It is a boardwalk snack situation that fits this promenade completely. The boardwalk deli is your sandwich and quick meal option, and it's a genuine deli in the Northeast tradition, not a generic quick service window. The bread is baked in house, which changes things considerably. The warm pastrami ruben on marble rye is the classic move. And the Italian sub on house-baked ciabatta, Capacola, sopraçada, pepperoni, provolone, and arugula pesto, that's the one to get if you want something with a little more going on. And then there's the boardwalk pizza window. It's exactly what it sounds like. Late night pizza by the slice along the water, open after the parks close and available when everything else seems to have wound down. There really is very little better than a slice of pizza by the lake at the end of a big day. One thing worth knowing though, and it's easy to miss, is that not everything here is on the promenade. Inside the main resort building, right off the lobby, is Carousel Coffee. It is a Joffrey's coffee shop open from 6:30 in the morning through the early afternoon, serving coffee, pastries, bagels, croissants, and the grab and go bites. If you want your coffee before you even step outside and get the day started, this is the spot. The standout is the cinnamon bun frozen blended coffee, cold brew blended with a cinnamon bun syrup topped with mocha and whipped cream, which has been getting consistent attention from guests who wander through the lobby on their way to the parks. And if you want something to go with it, the NJ Crumble Cake is a small but fitting nod to the Jersey Shore spirit this whole resort was built on. The theming leans into the carousel story of the resort. Fantasyland inspired artwork lines the walls, and it is a lovely, low-key way to ease into the park morning. One quick note on what is changing. Big River Grill and Brewing Works, a long-running boardwalk spot, closed in 2024. A newer quick service restaurant is coming to that space before the end of 2026. But Disney has not yet released the name or concept as of this recording. We will update you as soon as there's something to share. Now let's talk about what makes the boardwalk unlike any other resort at Walt Disney World. It's the promenade itself. As the sun goes down, the whole thing comes to life. On Thursday through Saturday evenings, from around 6 30 to 10, the boardwalk buskers take over the outdoor spaces. These are professional street performers, jugglers, physical comedians, variety artists with real chops, and they stop foot traffic. There is no ticket, no admission. It is simply part of an evening here, and that is extraordinary. The Atlantic Dance Hall is one of the original venues from when the resort opened, and it is still going. It is an adults-only ballroom with a DJ, and it's open late on the weekends. It is a throwback in the very best sense, and it fits the era the boardwalk draws from so naturally. It almost feels like it always existed. Now, the big entertainment news. The beloved dueling piano bar that ran at the boardwalk for nearly 30 years closed in April of 2025. It has relocated to a new off-property spot near Lake Buena Vista. So if you were a regular, it has not disappeared from the world. It has just moved. But its space on the promenade is not sitting empty. Hurley Burley is coming, opening in the former Jelly Roll space in late 2026. It is themed as a historic seaside theater, which fits the resort so naturally it feels like it was always the plan. During the day, a host leads family-friendly trivia and games. In the evening, it becomes a 21 and older live music venue with coastal inspired cocktails and light bites. As of this recording, Hurley Burley is not open yet, but the evening entertainment spirit of the boardwalk promenade is absolutely continuing. It is just finding a new shape. Let's talk shopping for a minute. The main gift shop at the Boardwalk Inn is the Screen Door General Store, which is both a great name for a gift shop and a well-stocked one. The Boardwalk Merchandise Collection leans into the coastal vintage-inspired story of the resort. Classic wines, seaside details, the feeling of something that has been here a long time. In 2026, there is a carousel themed collection that has been a standout. Built around the vintage carousel that lives in the resort lobby. We will get into the carousel more in the fun facts because it has a real story behind it. But the collection features carousel print ears, sketchbook ornaments, apparel, and home pieces that feel like a genuine keepsake from this specific place. The other boutique here is Thibbles at Threads, and this is where the high-end shopping lives. Tommy Bahama and Lily Pulitzer both have collections here. And if you've been looking for Disney themed pieces from either brand, this is one of the better places on property to find them. On the accessory side, Duny and Burke and Loungefly handbags are carried here. And there's a Pandora jewelry display with charms, necklaces, and watches. It is a proper boutique experience, not just a resort gift shop. And if you have been tracking the art on demand kiosks we mentioned in previous episodes, where you can select and pick up a one-of-a-kind Disney art print, there is one here at Thimbles and Threads as well. The boardwalk is another stop on that collection for anyone who's building a Disney Resort art gallery one episode at a time. Okay. So who is the boardwalk id right for? And who might want to look somewhere else? The boardwalk is for guests who want a resort with energy. This is not a quiet retreat from the world. It is a living entertainment district with a promenade that is open to the public. And on busy festival weekends, the promenade hums. If you love that atmosphere, if you want to step out after dinner and find street performers and a beautiful lakeside view and late night food and music, this resort was made for exactly that. It is also the resort for Epcot fans. If Epcot is your park, if the festivals are events you plan your whole trip around, if the World Showcase is your happy place, that 10-minute walk from the promenade to the International Gateway entrance is something that you will use every single day and feel grateful for every single time. Now, who might want to think twice about staying at the boardwalk? If you need total quiet at night, especially if you have young kids with an early bedtime, the rooms on the promenade can get lively on busy festival weekends. The energy out there does not wind down early and the sound carries. If this is a concern, ask for a courtyard facing or garden view room when you book. It makes a real difference. The boardwalk is not a resort that goes to sleep early, and that's worth knowing before you arrive or before you book. And if an extraordinary pool is the number one thing on your list, it is worth knowing that Disney does not allow pool hopping between resorts, even deluxe properties. So if Stormalong Bay at the beach club is calling your name, that is a reason to book the beach club. Luna Park pool here is wonderful and it does have its own real magic, but it's a different kind of experience. It's not as big. Know what matters most before your trip before you book. Before we close out the boardwalk in, I always want to leave you with a little something extra. The kind of details that make you feel like an insider the next time you walk through those doors. Twelve things to take with you today. So this is what I came up with. Some are brand new, some we've covered, but here we go. Number one, the Boardwalk Inn shares its architect with the Yacht Club and the Beach Club. Robert A. M. Stern designed all three resorts on Crescent Lake, which is a significant part of why the entire area feels so intentional and cohesive from the water. Three completely different worlds that somehow belong together. Number two, the original concept for the boardwalk included a working Ferris wheel and an actual roller coaster right on the promenade. Both were cut before construction, but their spirit survived in the Luna Park pool, in the amusement park signage, in the entire entertainment culture of the resort. Number three, the chandelier in the boardwalk-in lobby is called the Hippocampus Electroleer, and it weighs one and a half tons. A hippocampus is a creature from Greek mythology, part horse, part fish. And the chandelier depicts exactly that. It is one of the most dramatic lobby installations at any Disney resort, and most guests walk right underneath it without looking up. Number four, the lobby also houses a restored vintage carousel. It was purchased in 1995 and took a full year to restore before the resort opened it in July 1996. It runs at exactly the same speed as the King Arthur Carousel at Disneyland, and there are hidden Mickeys worked into the design if you know where to look. Number five, that carousel has four special chairs called the Nanny Chairs, named Todd, Paul, Alex, and Carrie. The most confirmed version of this story is that Paul and Todd were both Imagineers who did the casting and stamped their own names on the backs of the chairs. Alex and Carrie are rumored to be the Imagineers' family members, though the exact origin has never been officially confirmed. The chairs themselves were cast from circa 1889 carousel molds, which means they carry actual historical craftsmanship inside a place made of imagination. Number six, the garden suites at the Boardwalk Inn are the only accommodations at Walt Disney World that come with a private fenced outdoor garden space accessed through a personal gate at ground level. There is no other room type anywhere on Disney property where you can step outside your hotel room and into your own private yard. At Walt Disney World, this is remarkable. Number seven, the Luna Park Pool Water Slide, officially called the Keister Coaster, is 200 feet long and designed to look and feel like a 1920s wooden roller coaster, complete with a ticket booth at the top. For years it also had a giant clown face at the exit, which became one of the most iconic features of the whole resort. Genuinely beloved by some, genuinely unsettling to others, and a boardwalk conversation piece either way. In 2020, that clown face was retired and replaced with a colorful Mickey and Friends design. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, and Pluto. The level of storytelling on a hotel waterslide across multiple eras of theming is a detail most resorts would never bother with. But Disney has always bothered with it. Number eight, the Abracadabra Bar, the Cocktail Lounge, is built around a fictional character. Donatello the Magnificent, a magician who supposedly performed at this very location during the resort's original 1920s heyday. The name of the bar, the decor, the cocktail menu, all of it connects to a character who never existed, but makes the whole place feel even more real. That is a very specific kind of Disney magic. Number nine, the boardwalk promenade is open to the public. No resort reservation, no park ticket required to walk it, dine on it, or catch the buskers performing on a Thursday night. It is one of the only places at Disney World where you can experience that unmistakable Disney atmosphere at absolutely no cost. Many locals take full advantage of this, and guests rarely realize it is even possible. The Innkeepers Club Lounge on the fourth floor has a balcony overlooking Crescent Lake with a view of Epcot's nighttime spectacular. Watching the fireworks rise over the water from that balcony with something cold in hand and the promenade below you glowing, it is a very good evening. Number 11. When Jelly Rolls closed in April of 2025 after nearly 30 years, the response from its community was unlike almost anything else in Disney entertainment history. There are reunion groups, tribute pages, guests who have been dozens of times over the decades and could tell you exactly what they ordered their very first night. Some places build a community of people who belong to each other because of it. Jelly Rolls was that kind of place. It has moved, not vanished. But its chapter at the boardwalk is part of what this resort has meant to a lot of people for a very long time. Number 12. The Imagineers studied real photographs from Atlantic City, Asbury Park, and Coney Island in the 1920s and 1930s and used them as reference for the architecture, the proportions, the signage, and the lighting. What you are walking through is not a generic seaside boardwalk feeling. It is a carefully studied recreation of a very specific era in American history. That is the kind of intention that separates a great theme from a great place. Well, that's it. That's Disney's boardwalk in. I did not know when Brooke and I were walking those boards in Cape May with taffy in our hands and salt in the air that I was storing up for something I would carry for a long time. But those memories have a way of showing up in unexpected places. And every time I step onto the boardwalk's promenade and hear the music before I see the lights, I find them again. Some places feel like they were made for a particular kind of joy. The boardwalk has a way of surprising people who were not sure that they needed it. And then they arrive, and the boards are under their feet, and the lake is glowing, and something just makes sense. So next episode, we're leaving Crescent Lake and heading somewhere completely different. One of the most extraordinary resorts in the entire Walt Disney World collection. We have a lot to talk about, and I will see you there. Thank you so much for being here with us today on Mouse Management and More of the Podcast. If you have stayed at the boardwalk, if jelly rolls holds a memory for you, or if one of today's facts made you stop and say, wait, really? I would love to hear from you. And if you're enjoying the show, would you consider leaving us a review wherever you're listening? It takes just a moment and it makes a genuine difference in helping other Disney fans find us. This community means everything, and I do not take a single listen for granted. But until next time, keep the magic close.
