If you’re staying at Disney Vacation Club’s BoardWalk Villas and looking to unwind, you’re in for a treat. With its charming, old-fashioned Atlantic City vibe, the BoardWalk offers plenty of relaxing opportunities while still soaking up the Disney magic. Here’s how to make the most of a laid-back day at BoardWalk Villas.
Start With A Leisurely Breakfast
Begin your day with a relaxed breakfast at Trattoria al Forno. This charming Italian eatery offers a peaceful start to your day with a delicious breakfast menu featuring options like avocado toast, frittatas, and fresh pastries. If you’re in the mood for something light, grab a coffee and pastry to-go from The BoardWalk Bakery and enjoy it on the boardwalk as you watch the sun rise over Crescent Lake.
Take A Stroll Along The BoardWalk
After breakfast, take a leisurely stroll along the BoardWalk. The early morning hours are quiet and serene, making it the perfect time to enjoy the quaint atmosphere without the crowds. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells as you walk past charming shops, carnival games, and colorful buildings. If you’re up for a bit of shopping, pop into Thimbles & Threads for unique souvenirs and resort-exclusive merchandise.
Relax By The Pool
Head back to the BoardWalk Villas and spend some time at the Luna Park Pool. With its vintage amusement park theme, this pool is both fun and relaxing. Lounge by the poolside with a good book, take a refreshing dip, or enjoy a cocktail from the Leaping Horse Libations pool bar. For a quieter experience, check out one of the resort’s two leisure pools, which offer a more tranquil setting.
Enjoy A Casual Meal
When lunchtime rolls around, keep things relaxed with a stop at the pizza window. Grab a spot on the Boardwalk, take it back to your room, or have a picnic on the green. You can also grab a quick meal at Boardwalk Deli which features sandwiches, wraps, and salads.
Rent A Surrey Bike Or Take A Boat Ride
For a bit of light activity, rent a surrey bike from the BoardWalk’s rental stand and pedal around Crescent Lake. It’s a fun way to explore the surrounding area at your own pace. If you prefer a more laid-back option, take a leisurely boat ride to EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios and back, just for the peaceful ride and scenic views.
Dinner And Entertainment
As evening falls, enjoy a leisurely dinner at one of the BoardWalk’s signature restaurants. Flying Fish offers an upscale dining experience with a focus on fresh seafood, perfect for a special meal. If you prefer something more casual, Trattoria al Forno also offers a delightful dinner menu.
After dinner, take in the BoardWalk’s nightlife. You can enjoy music at Atlantic Dance Hall or JellyRolls. You can also take another stroll along the boardwalk, where you’ll find street performers, carnival games, and a lively atmosphere that is perfect for winding down your day.
End With A Sweet Treat
Cap off your relaxing day with a sweet treat from Boardwalk Ice Cream where you can indulge in a scoop (or two) of their delicious ice cream. Find a quiet spot on the BoardWalk to savor your dessert while soaking in the nighttime ambiance.
By following this guide, you can enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating day at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas, making the most of the resort’s charming atmosphere and delightful amenities. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying a spa treatment, or simply taking in the sights, the BoardWalk offers the perfect setting for a day of leisure.
