Boardwalk is one of my favorite places to visit, stroll along the lakeside path, laugh at the magicians, have a bite to eat at the Big River Brewery, wings at the ESPN Club or just a slice of pizza. Over the last few years that I have been living in Florida I've visited Boardwalk at least 20-25 times enjoying every minute of it. Unfortunately the last 2 months when I have attempted access in the evening hours I was denied. I was told that they had limited parking and unless I was a guest of the hotel, had a dinner reservation or wanted to pay $20 for valet parking I was not allowed to enter. Both times there was a line of cars ahead of me and they must have also been denied as they all had to turn around and exit. It's really disappointing, like myself there are a lot of people that come to enjoy the Boardwalk entertainment area. What's even more disturbing is when you look at the parking lots they have numerous empty spots. So if you are thinking about stopping by Boardwalk for a relaxing enjoyable evening be prepared to be turned away.
