Dining around Disney’s BoardWalk and the EPCOT Resort Area

DINING ON THE BOARDWALK and around the Epcot Resort Area can be as fancy as you can imagine, or as casual as noshing on the real Atlantic City boards. Here’s a brief rundown of the eateries in the area, along with links to menus and reviews. (If you’d like a quick look at the restaurants in around the area, take a look at our “at a glance” table HERE.)

AbracadaBar – A bar adjacent to the Flying Fish on the BoardWalk. Themed after a magician’s hangout.

Beach Club Marketplace — located off the main lobby of the Beach Club, this counter service spot is located within the retail space, so at first glance, you might miss it. Offerings include ready-made salads and sandwiches, as well as a few made-to-order offerings. Also features several sweet treats, including homemade gelato. Seating is at the nearby patio.

Beaches & Cream Soda Shop — between the Yacht and Beach Clubs. This 1950s-era soda shop features milkshakes, malts, sundaes, burgers, old-fashioned Egg Creams, and the humongous Kitchen Sink — 24 scoops of ice cream and every topping they have! Try stopping by at off-hours, like in the mid-afternoon, or use the take-out counter. Beaches & Cream also serves a light, continental-type breakfast.

Belle Vue Lounge — in the BoardWalk Inn. This comfy lounge is open in the evenings and serves a variety of alcoholic beverages as well as a few mocktails.

This quick-service kiosk replaced the former BoardWalk To Go location and serves hand-dipped corn dogs with a few decidedly less traditional options, including the Golden Dragon, Mexican Street Dog, Pickle Dog, and Giant Mozzarella. Lemonade and fresh-spun cotton candy are also available.

By night, this spot is home to a seafood lover’s buffet, complete with clam chowder, fried seafood, paella, and crab legs (which are available at an additional charge).
