    Default Boardwalk at Night

    Can you tell me what it's like at night over at Boardwalk? I've heard they have entertainment. I was thinking of taking DD's over there one night on our trip.

    I've seen magicians and some carnival like games. They also have the bicycles you can rent.

    Totally worth a trip. My kids love watching the the streetmosphere performers and playing some of the boardwalk games.

    It's one of the main reasons Boardwalk is our favorite resort!

    My kids LOVE the Boardwalk at night. Not only are there the street performers, you can also get the usual summer snack fare -- funnel cakes, etc. The girls can get hair wraps and face painting. It's lovely on the water between the Boardwalk and Beach Club, and the shops are nice... ohhhh, you're really making me miss it now.
    Many visits over 35+ years!

    Can anyone advise what time the performers start. Last trip we hit the Boardwalk around 9:30 after seeing Illuminations and saw one or two performers but then they were gone so we would like to go earlier this trip.

    We love the Boardwalk at night. My kids enjoy watching the entertainers (both of my kids have been called up to participate in a show), playing boardwalk games, and taking a surrey bike around for a spin (where mom and dad do all the work-LOL)! Great family fun!

    Thanks all! We are not going a park the first day we are there so this will be a great thing to do. I think DD's will enjoy it and I'm looking forward to it.

    Us BIG kids also enjoy the Boardwalk as well. Take a stroll down the boardwalk, watch fireworks from both EPCOT & DS and set outside Big River Grill and enjoy a cold . See you in December!

    When we first discovered the Boardwalk it was like a hidden gem we had found. We love it! Have fun!

    Yes, it is fun for the kids. Entertainers appear from time to time. There is a candy store if nothing else is happening or it rains.

    I love the Boardwalk! It's so much fun and there is a lot to do! I personally just love the nighttime atmosphere it creates - definitely worth checking out!

    My 3 daughters love it as well. I would recommend walking the entire loop including the Yacht/Beach Clubs and Swan/Dolphin. That entire area is great at night.

    LOVE the boardwalk! I was just there the other day running. It's a fabulous "track"! Especially when you catch Fantasmic and Illuminations during your workout! Beats my playlist! (well, except for the BeeGees! They're the best!)
