If you’re deep into Disney World planning, your search history probably looks something like this: “where to stay at Disney World”, “best Disney resort for toddlers”, “Disney Boardwalk restaurants”, and “how to survive Disney transportation without losing my mind”. 

Sound familiar? If so, you’re in the right place.

Choosing the right resort is a big deal—especially when you’ve got kids, a stroller, and an overflowing park bag to manage. But let me make this easy for you: Disney Boardwalk resort is the one we keep coming back to, and today, I’m breaking down exactly why.

From its unbeatable location to its charming, seaside-inspired vibes, the Disney Boardwalk has us in a chokehold (in the best way possible). 

But don’t worry, I’m also spilling the quirks—because no resort is perfect (and yes, I have some feelings about the Disney Boardwalk resort pool situation).

In this episode, we’re diving into:

  • The Disney Boardwalk resort location hack that could save you from the dreaded park transportation meltdowns—and why walkability matters more than you think.
  • Why the Disney Boardwalk restaurants might be the best hidden gems for last-minute dining reservations (but also, why I still need chicken nuggets to make a comeback).
  • The real deal with the Disney Boardwalk resort pool—is it a win for families, or is something major missing?
  • How to book a deluxe resort for way less than Disney’s website prices—yes, even at the Disney Boardwalk.
  • The #1 reason I think the Disney Boardwalk might just be the best Disney resort for toddlers (even though it’s missing a key feature!).

So, have you ever stayed at the Disney Boardwalk resort, or is it on your list? 

And if you’re still deciding where to stay at Disney World, what’s at the top of your resort must-haves? Let me know your thoughts over on IG @somewhereworthwhile.
