We Recommend…

Experience the liveliness of the boardwalk with tons of Disney magic. Book your next Orlando vacation at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn! Remember that all 2-Night and longer Walt Disney World vacation packages include complimentary concierge services from a Get Away Today travel expert.

For a stay full of fun we recommend staying at least 5 nights, with 4-day 1 Park per Day tickets. This will give you time to not only enjoy your resort amenities but also allows you to experience one day at each of the main theme parks. If you have less time, we recommend considering a Park Hopper ticket so you can still experience all four parks.

We also recommend the Water Park and Sports Option add-on to visit the nearby Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon during your stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn.

A specialist can help you book available experiences, dining and the perfect Disney resort hotel room for your vacation, including a stay at BoardWalk Inn. Check out our Walt Disney World vacation packages online or call an agent at 855-GET-AWAY.
