Disney's BoardWalk Villas opened in 1996 on the shores of Crescent Lake, the private lake shared with Disney's Beach Club, Beach Club Villas, and Yacht Club resorts. The resort's sprawling Victorian-styled boardwalk hosts restaurants, bars, carnival games, and boat rentals directly below the villa building, with ESPN Club, AbracadaBar, and Jellyrolls dueling piano bar all accessible without leaving the property. No other Disney resort has this kind of street-level lakefront entertainment built directly into its grounds — returning from EPCOT's evening shows means stepping off a boat and onto a lively boardwalk rather than waiting in a bus queue.
The EPCOT access at BoardWalk mirrors Beach Club's: the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT is a seven-minute walk from the resort lobby, and Hollywood Studios is a ten-minute boat ride or fifteen-minute walk along the waterfront path. For guests whose trips revolve around EPCOT festivals — the International Food and Wine Festival, the Flower and Garden Festival, or EPCOT's seasonal events — the Crescent Lake resort cluster is the prime real estate, and BoardWalk is the most character-rich address within that cluster.
Per-point pricing at BoardWalk Villas typically runs $19–21 per point — slightly below Beach Club Villas despite a comparable location, because BoardWalk has larger total inventory and a different atmosphere than the pool-centered Beach Club experience. Studios here work well for couples; larger villas work for multi-generational groups who want the boardwalk and lakefront setting. Browse available BoardWalk Villas DVC points.
