Good morning and Happy Sunday and Happy Memorial Day! Welcome back to the seventh week of Sunday Showcase. Each week we take a look at one of Walt Disney World’s resorts. This week we will be taking a look at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. If you haven’t checked out last’s week’s article, you can do so here.
Sunday Showcase: Disney’s Boardwalk Inn
“Experience the charm and whimsy of turn-of-the-century Atlantic City at this waterfront Resort hotel. Make a splash at Luna Park Pool and delight in a massage at the state-of-the-art fitness center. Discover carnival games, unique dining and exciting nightlife on the Coney Island-style boardwalk. Strung like saltwater taffy along the shimmering Crescent Lake, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is located within walking distance to both Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.”
Take in the electric energy of the dueling pianos at Jellyrolls or step into the charm of the Atlantic Dance Hall, where the sounds of jazz and big band music transport you to another time. The perfect evening calls for the perfect outfit, blending timeless sophistication with a playful edge.
Think breezy summer dresses paired with vintage accessories, crisp linen shirts styled with suspenders, or effortlessly cool Sisyphos outfits that strike the right balance between comfort and glamour. Whether you’re sipping a handcrafted cocktail under the glow of string lights or twirling beneath a canopy of stars, the boardwalk invites you to embrace its elegant, carefree spirit in style.
