Disney's BoardWalk was planned as a "village across the water," a place where frazzled tourists could take a day off from the theme parks or spend aromantic evening. The complex, which opened in 1996, features the BoardWalk Inn hotel and alakefront entertainment area with restaurants, nightclubs and a brew pub all located on a wooden boardwalk. The theme of the resort is familiar to anyone who grew up with summervacations taken in a Mid-Atlantic or New England beach town. The BoardWalk ismodelled after seaside towns from the early 1900s. Architecture is similar toCape May, N.J., with a Coney Island feel to the boardwalk. The Coney Island theme is carried over into one of the BoardWalk'srestaurants, the Flying Fish Cafe. A Coney Island roller coaster inspired thedesign and the name of the restaurant; though don't worry if you have a weakstomach as it doesn’t move. The restaurant specializes in seafood and althoughI visited it some time ago I remember thinking it was good. Spoodles restaurant specializes in Mediterranean cuisine and offers a widemenu for the more adventurous. There is a tapas-oriented menu for sampling theauthentic dishes of the Mediterranean. You can order a table-full of smalldishes, and share them all. I have two personal favourites the first being the ESPN Club. It has 100+televisions and a 108-square-foot screen. Its menu includes pasta, sandwiches,salads and hamburgers. If you’re a sports fan you can watch lots of differentevents but I have always found the food to be excellent along with theservice. The best tables in the restaurant section are by the mirrored windowswhere you can look out while not feeling like a zoo animal. The bar snackssection is good and the size of the portions will ensure you don't needbreakfast the next day. If you need to use the rest room don't worry aboutmissing the end of that sport event you have been following as there is a TVabove each facility. The Big River Grille & Brewing Works is a restaurant and a brew pub thatproduces its own beers and is my second favourite. You can sit outside oncooler days enjoy a good beer, nice food and a pleasant view. They do seem tochange the menu in this location more than some of the others so it is hard torecommend a particular dish. Last time we went back my favourite had beenreplaced with something else. If dancing is more your thing, then visit Atlantic Dance, which offers swingdance lessons five nights a week. Lessons start at 8:15 p.m. on Sunday andMonday, and at 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. It also has live bands butyou need to pay for admission. The general parking is free and it’s only ashort walk to the main boardwalk. If you plan to go into Epcot just to see theevening fireworks then you may want to park here and walk through the worldshowcase entrance which brings you out just after the Rose and Crown pub.
