The BoardWalk Villas were built in the style of the 1940’s Atlantic City area. It features striped awnings and multi-colored facades, and is located around Crescent Lake. Amenities such as dining, recreation, and pool areas are shared with The BoardWalk Inn.

The Villas come with views of everything from the parking lot to the resort grounds to Crescent Lake, depending on what you pay for. Studios, 1 or 2-bedroom Villas, and 3-bedroom Grand Villas are available

Disney’s BoardWalk Villas: A Disney Vacation Club Resort

The Disney Vacation Club is the timeshare arm of the Disney Company. Yes, timeshare. You can prepay for your Disney World vacations by investing in the Disney Vacation Club (no, I’m not quoting a brochure). Disney will even buy your timeshare points back (Disney uses a point system) for the going rate. Disney has been expanding vacation club resorts at a remarkable rate over the last few years and now has 8 villa locations on Disney World property.

Villas, Rooms, and Suites at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas

The Disney BoardWalk Villas, like other Disney Vacation Club resorts, have several kinds of villas, including:

• Studio: A fairly standard Disney hotel room with a mini-fridge, toaster, coffeemaker and microwave. The room comes with one queen bed and a double sized sleeper sofa to sleep up to 4 people (this is probably not a great option for 4 adults unless you like sleeping on sleeper sofas.)

• One Bedroom: Includes a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom with a whirlpool tub. The room comes with one king bed and a queen sized sleeper sofa to sleep up to 4 people (again, only if you like sleeping on sleeper sofas.)

Each suite comes with a washer/dryer plus the standard Disney amenities like:

• Telephone service
• Free Wi-Fi
• Whirlpool tub (except in the studios)
• An alarm clock
• A safe
• Soap, shampoo, bath products (in great Disney wrappers)
• A HAIR DRYER
• Clock Radio
• DVD Player
• Vacuum Cleaner

You might be wondering why a hotel room would have a vacuum cleaner. Disney Vacation Club members only get Mousekeeping services 2 days a week. One day for a full cleaning and one day for trash service and light cleaning. (Extra services are available for an additional charge.) If you rent the room from Disney, you will get daily Mousekeeping.
