Boardwalk Entertainment
An evening stroll along Disney's BoardWalk may recall golden days at the seashore when families and couples flocked to the boardwalk for innocent summertime fun. Jugglers, comedians, magicians, musical groups and food vendors combine to create the atmosphere of an old-time boardwalk in its heydey.
But a step off the boardwalk welcomes vacationers to an expanded array of lively entertainment options, which include dancing to the rhythms of upbeat pop music and Latin show bands, joining in a rowdy chorus at a dueling piano bar or cheering a favorite sports team to victory.

Dance the night away to the sounds of a variety of music at Atlantic Dance located along Disney's Boardwalk.
The spacious hall offers a sophisticated ambiance with a palette of rich blues, maroons and golds surrounding a parquet dance floor. Sparkling gold stars and twinkling lights adorn the ceiling and make
Atlantic Dance the perfect nighttime spot for music, relaxing, dancing and romancing. Light fare, cappuccino, espresso and cognac are offered into the evening. Cigar aficionados will enjoy a selection of premium, hand-rolled cigars.
For those who can't decide between shaken, stirred, with an olive or with an onion, the bar pours a tasty selection of signature martinis.
Atlantic Dance Hall at Disney's Boardwalk has changed its format and is now spinning Top 40 sounds plus hit songs from the 1980s and 1990s and high energy dance music.
The Hall is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Tue, Wed and Sat are Video DJ Nights. A VJ (Video DJ) plays the best music videos on a large screen. Thru/Fri nights are DJ only nights, playing a mix of today's top hits.
The Atlantic Dance Hall is restricted to guests ages 21 and over and admission is free. The hall may also be used for weddings and other special events.

Singing and drinking to the banter of dueling pianos welcome the party crowd to Jellyrolls, the lively piano bar located along the boardwalk.
A main attraction within this rustic, saloon-like club is the crowd itself. Here, people of all ages join together in song as quick-witted pianists bang out old-time favorite singalongs. Jellyrolls is a foot-stomping, sing-along kind of place with lots of uproarious laughter and fun.
A visit to Jellyrolls for a birthday, anniversary or engagement may get you on stage for a rambunctious and satirical serenade created especially for you.
Jellyrolls welcomes those 21 years and older, with a cover charge after 7 p.m.

No matter what season, catch the best games in all the top sports every day at ESPN Club, the sports broadcast and entertainment facility and full-service restaurant anchoring Disney's BoardWalk.

ESPN Club is divided into three distinct areas designed to appeal to sports enthusiasts as well as families.
Kids and adults will be sure to flock to The Yard, an "urban playground" with an arcade of sports games, the latest in virtual reality and interactive arcade games.

Reviewer:
Nancy Rhodes, Dadeville, AL, USAOur stay was at the Boardwalk Villas Oct. 9th thru Oct. 17th,2004. We stayed in villa 3108-10. Our view was over a quiet pool which was nice. This was the 1st and last time for us. The rooms were fine and most of the staff was frienly and cordial. During our stay, one day after visiting one of the parks, we came back to our villa and found our closet cleaned out with all of our empty luggage sitting in our bathroom. Our door to the balcony was open (nothing was missing). My husband notified the main desk in the lobby and at first no one down there seemed to know anything about it. Eventually we were told that one of the pipes had a leak in it that needed to be repaired. Had they left a note or even a phone message about the entry we would have been somewhat understanding. The staff at the main desk was nice,but from that day on whenever we left the resort we never felt comfortable about leaving our belongings behind. Thank goodness there are so many great resorts of which to stay because we are members of the Disney Vacation Club and plan to go back to WDW many, many times in the future.
