  • About a 5-minute drive to Disney Springs and roughly 1 mile to Walt Disney World theme parks per hotel materials.

  • Address: 2101 Epcot Resort Blvd, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830.
  • Located on the BoardWalk promenade adjacent to Crescent Lake with easy access to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios via Disney transport.
  • Close evening dining and entertainment right outside the hotel doors.

Choose BoardWalk Inn for location-first access to Disney entertainment and park transport.

Rooms: space, family options and accessibility

Holiday Inn Resort Orlando - Lake Buena Vista – Rooms

  • KidSuites and bunk-bed configurations designed specifically for families.
  • 15 accessible rooms; common in-room features: microwave, refrigerator, Keurig, in-room safe.

Better choice if you need larger family rooms, bunk beds or more variety of family layouts.

  • 378 guestrooms including Club Level, resort-view and water-view room types and several accessible configurations.
  • Room inventory shows multiple Club Level and accessible room descriptions (roll-in showers, hearing-accessible options).

BoardWalk Inn is more compact with Disney Club Level options and refined theming for fans of Disney details.

Dining & drinks: casual family fare vs Disney variety

  • Rocco’s Rockin’ Tiki Bar is a poolside bar/restaurant open roughly 11:00 AM–11:00 PM, weather permitting.

  • Four restaurants and at least one coffee shop/cafe listed on the supplier listing.

Expect a wider selection of on-property dining with the BoardWalk evening-dining scene a short walk away.

Pools & signature amenity
