The BoardWalk entertainment district lies along a 0.25-mile-long (0.40 km) boardwalk, reminiscent of Coney Island in New York or Atlantic City, New Jersey.[2] Several restaurants are present on the BoardWalk.
One of Walt Disney World's "deluxe resorts," the BoardWalk Inn contains décor inspired by the seaside districts of the Northeastern United States during the 20th century. The Inn is a short walk or FriendShip boat ride from the other resorts around Crescent Lake, as well as Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. It is located directly across the lake from the Yacht and Beach Club resorts.
