Disney's Hollywood Studios to Epcot

Park here and make Disney's Boardwalk Inn resort your first stop. Themed to capture the feel of the '20s and '30s Eastern Seaboard, this resort has plenty of displays and interesting decor to look at.

Once outside on the boardwalk area, there are midway games to play for prizes. After 7pm on weekends, there are also boardwalk buskers, live entertainers who run the gamut from sword swallowers and jugglers to magicians and strolling musicians.

During the day, rent a four-seat surrey bike and pedal the approximately one-mile path around Crescent Lake.

Stop for a treat at the resort's Beaches and Cream restaurant, themed after a classic 1950s soda shop.

Cool down with a root beer float or grab the gang and attempt to defeat the Kitchen Sink, a concoction made with eight scoops of ice cream served with all the toppings in the house and a whole can of whipped cream. It's also covered in cherries.

Next door to Disney's Beach Club is Disney's Yacht Club, and it's here that you'll find Bayside Marina.

Rent pontoon and canopy boats for a gentle cruise around Crescent Lake or take turns on a rental sea raycer (miniature powerboat), which go a little faster.

They'll visit various ports of call around the lake and enjoy a box peanut butter and jelly lunch (substitutions can be made for kids with nut allergies, if alerted in advance). A fee is charged for this activity.

This resort is also a stop on Walt Disney World's free water shuttle service that goes between Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot. Hop on board for a free cruise around the lake, and to get between this resort and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resorts.
