Boardwalk Inn dining

[sherryann]

I'm staying at the Boardwalk next year. What are the breakfast options there? Last time I stayed at Wilderness Lodge. The options were a delicious but super-expensive restaurant, or really terrible grab-and-go stuff.

Boardwalk Deli for sandwiches, bagels, and stuff. There are also sit down options, like Trattoria al Forno which has pretty much all the traditional breakfast options (eggs, omelets, etc). If you just was muffins, cereal, or coffee (something very simple), Carousel Coffee is also an option. Carousel Coffee if the only dining location that you do not have to leave the resort for. All the other locations are on the Boardwalk.

And if NONE of the food interests you (they seem to have almost everything covered, but maybe nothing is of interest), you can take a quick 5 minute stroll over to the Yhact and Beach Club for many more dining options.

Thanks. I didn't think to look at the Italian place for breakfast.

This isn't breakfast, but we really enjoyed the steak at Shula's Steakhouse at the Swan and Dolphin nearby.

Maybe the Cake Bake shop will also be open for you when you go next year.

You also have Les Halles bakery in Epcot almost on your door step. And next year if you have date based tickets you won’t need to worry about park reservations either.

I realise that won’t work if you want to rope drop another park though, but it’s still a good option for an Epcot day.

I'm not the poster, but thank you so much for your recommendation. I wasn't familiar with that bakery.

Date-based tickets? Rope drop?

Please explain.

Unless you have an annual pass then from Jan 9th next year, you will not need to make park reservations with most types of tickets.

Rope drop means arriving at a park in time for the official opening time.

My wife had actually been to Les Halles, but I had not.

I LIVE for the pain au chocolat!

The Swan and Dolphin resorts are a quick walk from the Boardwalk. Picabu (Dolphin) and Fuel (Swan) are both quick service with seating. There is also a coffee shop called Java at the Swan. There are also casual dining locations (Garden Grove @swan and Fountain @dolphin).

Just to add to the details given above: although Disney won't be requiring park reservations anymore on and after January 9, 2024, Disney has NOT announced the end of parkhopping restrictions, so keep in mind that if you have parkhopper tickets and visit a park like EPCOT for breakfast, you're stuck. You can't enter another park until after 2pm.

If you don't have parkhopper tickets (which as long as the restrictions persist, aren't nearly the value they once were anyway), disregard.

I find the Epcot resorts to be lacking in the quick service/easy eats department. When I stay in that area I usually order breakfast foods in my grocery order.

We oftentimes just bring strawberry pop tarts from home, Yum!

Trattoria Al Forno for breakfast…for some reason, it’s no longer on the menu, but they make a breakfast calzone that is, hands down, the BEST breakfast on property!!
It’s not on the menu, but if you ask your server very NICELY, they will make it for you… King Triton's Shipwreck al Forno Calzone with scrambled Eggs

Salumi, Bacon, Sausage, blend of Cheeses, Sunday Gravy

I think the reason some items are not on the menu is to stop mobile ordering. I don’t see why they just couldn’t exclude certain items from the mobile ordering menu but this is Disney IT.

It came off the menu when they reopened post COVID closure and without the character dining. I spoke with the restaurant manager (who was the one who told me they would make it)…he said it was a corporate decision to limit the menu after reopening.
