Disney's Boardwalk Inn
The Boardwalk Inn at Disney World offers guests the choice of villas in addition to standard hotel rooms and suites. The villas here are actually part of the Disney Vacation Club timeshare concept, but vacation guests are under no obligations whatever regarding the timeshare rental. The one-bedroom villas are 712 square feet and the two-bedroom units extend to more than 1,000 square feet. If you really want to go all out, look into the 2,000 square feet Grand Villa. Depending on the size you choose, amenities may include a Jacuzzi inside your room, a full kitchen, private balcony and even a washer and dryer. As a Disney resort guest you are also entitled to free transportation to any of Disney's golf courses as well as discounts on greens and equipment.
