A new perk just debuted at Disney World’s BoardWalk Inn


BoardWalk


…but NOT every guest is eligible to take advantage of it! While anyone can stroll along the water, grab a scoop of ice cream, or invest in a $22 slice of cake, a special character meet-and-greet has returned that’s only for Disney Vacation Club members. Here are all the details!



Disney Vacation Planner


This summer, Disney Vacation Club Members have access to a special character experience at the BoardWalk’s Atlantic Dance Hall as part of DVC Welcome Home Weeks.
