Posted by: Caitlin Kane February 23, 2021

While everything might have changed in the world in 2020, Walt Disney World has done an amazing job reopening as much as possible on property in the safest manner in order to be able to welcome guests back. Phased reopening has been an intricate and somewhat complicated process for many guests as it can definitely be confusing figuring out just what experiences are open and available to guests, which are modified, and which are not available in any capacity. Luckily, even with phased reopening, Disney’s Boardwalk Resort is welcoming in guests for an absolutely perfect stay and offering plenty of activities and experiences to keep them busy. Here is the perfect way for guests to enjoy a day at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort during phased reopening in Walt Disney World.

  

1. Early Morning Stroll on the Boardwalk

One of the absolute best things about staying at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort is the ambiance and beautiful exterior areas including the boardwalk itself. Guests who are lucky to enjoy a stay at the Disney Resort, even during phased reopening, can head out early in the morning to enjoy a stroll around the boardwalk and take in all of the beautiful sights. Situated around Crescent Lake, guests can enjoy a walk through Disney’s Boardwalk Resort area which includes lots of restaurants and cute store fronts, then past Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and Disney’s Beach Club Resort where white sand beaches and a beautiful lighthouse can be found. This leisurely stroll around the boardwalk area is a great way to begin a relaxing resort day at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort!

Breakfast is a great time to stop by the Boardwalk Bakery as guests can indulge in breakfast sandwiches such as the Butter Butter Sandwich or Everything Everything Sandwich or opt for sweeter items including Crumb Cake, Croissants, Muffins, Banana Bread, ad Brioche Boston Cream Doughnuts. After choosing the perfect breakfast option, guests can then have a seat on a nearby bench and enjoy their meal with beautiful views of Crescent Lake.

3. Relax at the Luna Park Pool

After a leisurely morning, guests can continue to enjoy a day at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort by heading to the main pool area for some relaxation.
