Very hard to review a service when there is really little service! And very hard to review a meal when no meal is served, even after asking it's whereabouts twice . swan Yacht Club has really dropped the ball, very sad to see. 01

Our family had Christmas lunch at the Swan Yacht Club on Christmas day. The location on the banks of the Swan River was supreme and made for a beautiful and memorable day spent with the family. The dining room and bar is upstairs and there is a large covered balcony with views of the boats and water. We were served a seafood entree and then a buffet lunch and dessert was provided. Roast pork, vegetables, salad and fish. Drinks were included in the package for a few hours and of course there was a line! A very relaxing day for everyone, a different way to spend Christmas too!

Christmas Lunch

I'm giving this place three stars because the view out over the yachts and the river is wonderful. If I was rating on the food alone, it would probably be two. It was pretty middle of the road mass produced pub style food. Some of it was decent, some of it seemed like it had been in the warmer for a bit long.

Steak meal from buffet

Great Function Center. Great food. Great service and beautiful views! Very nice club, great service and food. But the conference room is desperately in need of refurbish!

Hi swan yacht club great location plenty of parking fantastic food and service. Christmas Day was very well organised and everyone enjoyed

Swan Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Having had three different meals at the Swan Yacht Club, I feel I'm in a position to comment on the venue as a dining experience. The most positive experience was a lunch off the a la carte menu. Being daylight, it is also possible to... enjoy the excellent views that the venue offers. About 15 months ago my wife and I attended with a group on a Thursday night. The dinner menu comprised 4 choices - none of which were particularly inspiring. The meal was served cafeteria style and my chicken dish was barely lukewarm. We were dining outside and left half-finished drinks on our table while getting our meals. They had been removed upon our return and, despite pointing this out to the bar staff, neither sympathy nor replacement was offered. The same group booked a return visit (were a couple of members trying to work off their bar commitment?) on Thursday evening of this week. A last minute email from the organiser revealed that the regular 4 offering menu was replaced by a slightly more expensive Mexican buffet. Once again the cafeteria system was in operation with staff dolloping serves of Mexican mince, rice and chicken on a plate. At least patrons had the opportunity to add their own nachos, cheese, dips and salad from the station at the end of the production line. Apart from the chicken (being, once again, lukewarm), the food was tasty enough and our unfinished drinks weren't taken away. It's a pity table service didn't extend to removing finished plates. After a reasonable lapse of time, one of our group cleared the tables and took the plates back. If looking for cheap, cafeteria like food that takes one back to the '60s then Thursday evenings might be ideal. Personally I prefer a la carte dining with table service and would recommend a visit for lunch. Finishing on a positive note, out group enjoyed a good social evening with this aspect taking precedence over the dining experience. More

Been there last Sunday , venue is great but a bit of hassle to get a drink when it is busy . Had nachos n sliders n the food was very average that was a shame n need to improve

My wife and I have been there twice now, a birthday party and a drinks dinner arrangement last night, birthday was just finger food, last night we ordered from the menu, its really average pub food, not great but also not bad, some nibbles first,... then mains, there was 6 of us, three had Ceasar salads with chicken, one had Barramundi, prawn, another had a Chicken Parmy and the last had grilled fish and salad. You come here for the atmosphere, not the food, drinks are above average for a club. More

My sister is a member and we regularly attend the Club with her. The food is excellent as are the prices. Members do get a special rate however non members are still very much looked after, A full range of drinks is available at the... bar. The only downfall is that you must attend with a Club member. The Club is a sailing club situated right on the Swan River near Fremantle. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. More

Swan Yacht Club is on the Swa River, it's good for family fun. The sea breese can blow quite strongly and whip up the waves on the Swan River. The yacht club is on the lower reaches of the river. The yacht club has a... relaxed atmosphere, the food is palatable. More

Have been a member for many years. They have dropped the ball ! And very disappointing, never used to be like this ! Having dinner with family including grandchildren. Meals served too far apart and my meal not even served at all .Asked them twice... about where is my meal? and they served when family was leaving.absolutely discussing. Pick up your game!!!! More

Do not order ribs ! $29 for 3 ribs accompanied by a plate of alfalfa salad and chips :(. $23 for Beer battered snapper , salad (no tomato) and chips. The fish portion was for a kids meal. Much better food offerings on the river.

The Swan Yacht Club is in East Fremantle, on the Swan River. East Fremantle is said to be the "upper crust" side of Fremantle, but the Swan Yacht Club is afffordable , for families who love having fun on the Swan River. I have been... there several times, the atmosphere is friendly and the food is palatable. More

The Swan Yacht Club is one the lower reaches of the Swan River. It draws many of its members from East Fremantle, which is an upmarket suburb of the port city. It's a family-oriented club which welcomes new members. West Australians will remember East Fremantle... as one of the most successful teams in the WAFL, which produced many champion footballers. More

We went for a friends 40th and ordered kids meals and the anti pasto platter. The platter consisted of a packed of ham and salami, bland cheese chunks, a dip some olives and white bread. Easily the worst anti pasto offering I’ve ever seen and... at $42 beyond a joke. More

Used to be a great place for quality food at member prices, food is now poor Pub Grub level. Shame as the venue is great. Staff service is also below par.

Visited for Sunday lunch and whilst the venue was busy, the service was up to it and waiting for the meal to be served was not a problem-We could have had more time to soak in the views, which I don't think I could ever... tire of. The bar service was very good as well and tried some beers I had not come across before. The meals were well priced, well presented and big enough to satisfy most people. It looked like children were well catered for. A word of warning: if you are sitting outside don't leave your food unattended as the seagulls will help themselves. I was impressed when I observed a young wait staff member replace a plate of food that had been attacked, I thought it was a nice gesture, as it was not the clubs fault that the food had been spoiled. Most certainly will be back . More

The Swan Yacht Club has long been a favourite of ours. It has recently been renovated and the atmosphere is great. We particularly like going here with a group of friends from work for a few drinks and a bite to eat on a sunny... Friday afternoon. More

Magnificent viewing down the Swan, great atmosphere with live music on Sunday afternoons. Recently had a bon voyage gathering that was very well catered for. Top work.

This club is in a terrific location besides the river though is a bit hidden away from the general public; I only know of its existence because a relative is a member. Have now visited the club a couple of times and found the place... very friendly, and the staff very helpful. Prices of food and drinks are discounted for members, though are still reasonable value if you are a guest. Not a vast array of options on the dinner menu, but there was something there for everyone, including vegetarians and gluten-intolerant. Can be pretty busy, as the wonderful riverside location makes it popular for weddings, parties etc More

Adult Things to Do on Disney's BoardWalk (2024)

T here are plenty of adult things to do on Disney’s Boardwalk (or the “Epcot Boardwalk” as some call it, though its official name is Disney’s BoardWalk, with a capital “W”).

From bars to dinner, dessert, games, performers for children of all ages, and some 18+ venues, adults will love checking out this hidden gem at Walt Disney World in Florida.

And yes, the BoardWalk is free to visit!

Overview of Things to Do On Disney’s Boardwalk for Adults

We’ll go through the following Disney’s BoardWalk locations and entertainment in this post:

• Bar hopping (which includes a lot of the BoardWalk hotels)
• BoardWalk entertainment
• Getting dinner on the BoardWalk
• Getting dessert
• Shopping on the BoardWalk
• BoardWalk transportation
• Practical information (like parking and restrooms)
• Disney’s BoardWalk FAQ Answered
• Where else to go for adult entertainment after the BoardWalk

Bar Hop on Disney’s BoardWalk

There are great bars on the BoardWalk. There are several inside hotels, like inside Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. There’s also a stationary carousel bar at the BoardWalk Inn pool that’s very photo-worthy.

Additionally, there’s AbracadaBar (a personal favorite) that connects to the Italian restaurant on the BoardWalk, named Trattoria al Forno. Across from the entrance to AbracadaBar is Joe’s Marvelous Margarita stand.

As if these options aren’t enough, there are several great restaurants and bars at the Swan, Dolphin and Swan Reserve.

We loved the bar at Swan Reserve . You take the elevator up one floor to the bar area after you enter through the ground-floor doors. We also really liked the bar at Todd English’s Bluezoo at the Swan hotel.

Disney’s BoardWalk Entertainment

Watch the boardwalk performers.

There are nighttime performers on the boardwalk who are extremely talented and very entertaining to watch. For example, you may encounter a man who juggles and jump ropes or a team of acrobats who perform hula-hooping feats!

No matter the age of the viewers, including adults, these performers are mesmerizing.

Go to Jellyrolls

This is one of our FAVORITE places in all of Walt Disney World! It’s a dueling pianos bar at the end of the BoardWalk, past the BoardWalk Inn but just before Atlantic Dance Hall. It’s one of the best things to do at Walt Disney World besides the parks , and it’s an especially great indoor activity in Orlando , should the weather be rainy or far too hot to be outside.

Reservations are not required or accepted. There is a cover charge of $18 to enter and you may have to show ID to prove you’re 21 or older. You can pay with a credit card for the cover charge.

Then you sit at a table, have drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), eat popcorn if you want, which is free, and sing along to songs that the audience requests.

It’s mostly songs from decades of musical history, including from singers like Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, Queen…you name it, they’ll sing it. Once in a while, they’ll perform a Disney song upon request, but most songs performed are certainly non-Disney.

Bring singles to tip the performers (optional but appreciated). If you want to take a break from your table to see the Epcot fireworks at 9:00 pm, simply let your waiter or waitress know you’re doing so and they’ll save your table.

Just get your hand stamped to re-enter Jellyrolls when the fireworks are done.

Jellyrolls Hours of Operation

They are open nights; doors open at 7:00 pm and the show starts at 8:00 pm. The musicians perform until well past midnight. It’s shocking how fast time passes at Jellyrolls! We’ve often stayed from the show’s start time until closing.

Traveling to the BoardWalk by Car for Jellyrolls

If you are traveling to the BoardWalk to go to Jellyrolls by car, simply tell the security guards you’re going there and they should direct you to free parking.

Dance at Atlantic Dance Hall

If you love dancing, then Atlantic Dance hall is where you want to be, as adults looking for things to do on Disney’s BoardWalk. They are open in the evenings and are 21 and over. You can dance until the morning hours of the next day!

Play Carnival Games

It would be so romantic to win your partner a prize from the Carnival Games on the BoardWalk! The games open up in the late afternoon. Shoot hoops, water guns, and more. This is a pay-to-play activity on the BoardWalk.

Epcot Fireworks

You don’t have to be inside Epcot to see the fireworks. You can see them from the BoardWalk. As adults looking for things to do on the BoardWalk, we always note the time we go into Jellyrolls so we can take a break outside to see the fireworks. (The staff inside is great about this.)

Walk Around the BoardWalk

One of the most pleasant things to do on the BoardWalk is simply taking a walk. You’ll notice mile markers for runners and walkers in case you want to count it as exercise!

You can walk around the “circle” of the BoardWalk. If you start at the entrance from BoardWalk Inn, where you walk down steps to get to the BoardWalk to the right of the hotel, you can walk a full circle on pedestrian walkways from the length of the BoardWalk.

You’ll head over to where the Yacht and Beach Club Hotels are, past the International Gateway entrance to Epcot, where you’ll see the SkyLiner and back around to where you began the walk.

The views around the circle are different as you walk so be sure to bring your camera, at least for one lap!

Food Things to Do on Disney’s BoardWalk

Get dinner on the boardwalk.

There are several sit-down restaurants to choose from for a meal on Disney’s BoardWalk.

You can go to Flying Fish, Trattoria al Forno, or Big River Grille. Alternatively, if you walk around to the other side of the BoardWalk which is technically the Yacht and Beach Club hotels, there are additional restaurants inside the two hotels.

This includes Yachtsman Steakhouse, Ale & Compass, Cape May Cafe, and Beaches & Cream Soda Shop.

The Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve hotels have additional restaurants as well. This includes places like Kimonos for Japanese food, Shula’s Steakhouse, and Il Mulino for Italian food. Amare is a Mediterranean-inspired option at Swan Reserve.

If you want something that is low-key for dinner, there is pizza on the BoardWalk that you can get from a to-go window near Trattoria al Forno. You can also get a Margherita pizza, meat and cheese plate, or French fries inside AbarcadaBar.

Indulge in Dessert on the BoardWalk

If you haven’t already had dessert where you ate dinner, indulge in some sweets on the BoardWalk. There used to be a bakery near Trattoria al Forno but that is now closed and a deli is in its place. However, there are still some good options.

There is a quick-service ice cream shop on the BoardWalk near Trattoria al Forno. There is also Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at the Yacht and Beach Club. They have table service, and you can order ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, and such.

One of the newer places to hit the BoardWalk is The Cake Bake Shop Restaurant by Gwendolyn Rogers, which will hopefully open in 202. No official date has been announced.

It replaced ESPN Club, at the side of the BoardWalk closest to Epcot’s World Showcase entrance. It will serve cookies, brownies, cakes, French macarons , pies, cheesecakes, and more.

Disney Shopping on the Boardwalk

We wouldn’t say that the BoardWalk is a great destination for shopping if you want Disney items. There is a gallery on the BoardWalk with original art pieces if you’re shopping for Disney art for your home.

Other than that, the shops that are technically hotel stores are what you’ll find. They have Disney apparel, candy, some wine, and other assorted Disney World souvenirs. If you want to really shop for Disney items outside the parks, we suggest heading to Disney Springs or shopping online – we posted links, below.

Disney Shopping Beyond the BoardWalk

If you’re looking for items that you can’t find on the Boardwalk, you can likely get them online (that’s if you’re unable to shop elsewhere on the Boardwalk before you leave).

We have been so impressed by what you can buy online at ShopDisney.

ShopDisney for Adults (and Kids Too)

Just in case you want to gear up with Disney items before you leave for your Walt Disney World vacation, we recommend shopping on ShopDisney . They have awesome items online, even more than you’ll find in the park.

An example of that is their incredibly sophisticated, adult Disney jewelry. You can also get your Mickey ears online, fun t-shirts, kitchen dishes, bath products, and more.

Getting to the BoardWalk (Transportation)

You can get to the BoardWalk in one of five ways: walk, drive, take the Skyliner, take a boat, or use Disney World buses to arrive.

Visiting the BoardWalk from Epcot and BoardWalk Resorts

If you exit Epcot at the World Showcase entrance, you’ll be steps away from the BoardWalk. There’s only one direction to walk as you exit from that area so you can’t get lost.

The World Showcase entrance is near the UK Pavilion and France.

If you’re staying at any of the following hotels, you can walk to the BoardWalk too, either because they’re on the BoardWalk or yards away: Swan Reserve, Swan and Dolphin, BoardWalk Inn, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort.

If you don’t feel like walking from the resorts or you are mobility challenged, opt for a boat ride to the BoardWalk instead with one of the free boats that travel between the Swan, Dolphin, BoardWalk Inn and Villas, Yacht and Beach Clubs, and Epcot.

BoardWalk Access from Hollywood Studios

You can walk to the BoardWalk from Hollywood Studios (it’s kind of a long walk, but you can do it along a designated pathway). You can also take a boat, bus, or Disney’s Skyliner .

Take the bus to the BoardWalk Inn and Villas and walk to the BoardWalk from the bus drop off.

You can also take the Skyliner to the Boardwalk from Art of Animation hotel.

Getting to the BoardWalk from the Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom

The easiest way to get to Disney’s BoardWalk from either of these parks is to take a bus. Just look for a bus going to the BoardWalk Inn or BoardWalk Villas; you can easily get to the BoardWalk from there. Alternatively, you can take a bus to the Yacht or Beach Club, then take the 5-10 minute walk to the BoardWalk from there.

Taking a Car to the BoardWalk

If you are driving to the BoardWalk in your own vehicle, you can park there. Just let security know where you’re going, and it should be free to park. Note that it may be harder to park during peak times at Walt Disney World, when the lots may fill up with hotel guests.

If you’re unable to park at the BoardWalk Inn lot and you are in need of a solution, head to the Swan Reserve , where there is a paid lot. Upon entering the lot, you simply get a ticket from the automated machine and pay when you leave.

Once you’re parked at the Swan Reserve, Disney’s BoardWalk is a 10-15 minute walk along pathways that guide you to its location.

You can also call for a Minnie Van, which is Walt Disney World’s version of Lyft.

Don’t Postone Renting a Car!

DIsney’s BoardWalk Practical Information

We tackled self-parking above, but you may want to know other practical information.

For example, what time does the BoardWalk open or do they have restrooms?

The BoardWalk never really closes because it’s a pedestrian area of Walt Disney World. But the WDW website lists its hours as 6:30 am to 10:00 pm. Yet some bars there are open later.

The shops and gallery have their own opening hours as do the BoardWalk games. As do the restaurants and bars. For example, Abracadabar opens at 4:00 pm and closes at midnight. Big River Grille & Brewing Works is open from 11:00 am to 10:00pm as another example.

Restrooms are plentiful at the BoardWalk. The restaurants have them as well as the hotels there. For example, there are plenty of restrooms available inside Disney’s BoardWalk hotel.

There are also restrooms near the BoardWalk pool, by the mini-arcade at the hotel.

There are also plenty of places to sit along the BoardWalk, between benches and Adirondack chairs. One of the best things to do on Disney’s BoardWalk, in our opinion, is sit and talk, and enjoy the Florida sunshine. (And, let’s face it – people watch, of course!)

Disney’s BoardWalk FAQs Answered

You can see Epcot’s fireworks but not the whole show. You can see the fireworks that reach high in the sky. If you stay at the Swan Reserve , however, you can see the fireworks from the top floor of the hotel and they stream the music into the room too.

Epcot fireworks are at 9:00 pm and last for about 12-15 minutes.

Are Disney Springs and Disney’s BoardWalk the same thing?

No, they are not. They’re located in two different areas and have very different things to do. The BoardWalk is more so a casual, hidden gem. Far less people go there. Disney Springs is frequented by thousands of people a day, has a tons of shopping, and far more restaurants.

Disney Springs is where Cirque du Soleil is, where the World of Disney shop is, where Rainforest Cafe and Lego store are, and more.

Is Disney’s BoardWalk the Old Downtown Disney?

No, it is not. Downtown Disney is now Disney Springs. Disney’s BoardWalk has been it’s own destination and attraction for decades, even while Downtown Disney existed where Disney Springs is now located.

What does it cost to visit Disney’s BoardWalk?

If you’re wondering what the admission ticket is to Disney’s BoardWalk, it’s free to visit.

Any cost that comes into play depends on what you spend your time doing. For example, if you simply sit on the benches there and see the BoardWalk performers at night, it’s free.

But if you eat at a restaurant and then go to Jellyrolls after, you have to pay for your meal and drinks, then pay to enter Jellyrolls.

What time are the performers on the BoardWalk?

The performers – like jugglers and acrobatic performers – are there at night. They are not there during the day. They usually sporadically perform around 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, every day.

We’ve seen them in front of Abracadabar and in front of the area by the art gallery.

Do you have to be a Disney hotel guest to visit the BoardWalk?

No, you do not. You don’t have to be a Disney hotel guest nor do you have to have tickets to the parks. Nor do you have to be staying at Walt Disney World at all!

We often go for the afternoon or evening when we’re simply staying with friends who live in downtown Orlando .

Can you walk to Disney’s BoardWalk from any Disney theme parks?

The entrance to Epcot’s World Showcase is within walking distance. It’s right between the England and France pavilions.

A much further walk away is Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Though it’s possible to do the walk via a designated pathway, it takes a considerable amount of time when compared to the distance between the BoardWalk and Epcot.

The walk to Hollywood Studios is approximately 25-30 minutes, whereas the walk between Epcot and the BoardWalk is 5-10 minutes.

Is Disney’s BoardWalk pet-friendly?

No, it is not though Service Animals are allowed. The same rules apply to the BoardWalk as in Disney’s theme parks.

Adult Things to Do Near the BoardWalk at Disney World (Besides the Parks)

Miniature golf at fantasia gardens.

If you feel a little competitive, walk to the Swan Reserve from the BoardWalk to play miniature golf at Fantasia Gardens. It’s next to the hotel, and it’s only a 5-15 minute walk, depending on where you’re walking from on the BoardWalk.

There are two sides to the miniature golf course: a fun side with characters and colorful scenes from the movie, Fantasia, called Fantasia Gardens, and a more difficult Par 3 course, called Fantasia Fairways. (The Fairways side is actually really hard!)

There’s often a wait to play so if you have a long wait, simply head to the Swan Reserve to grab a drink until you can play.

Cirque du Soleil at Disney Springs

One of the most romantic things to do at Walt Disney World is going to a Cirque du Soleil show at Disney Springs . It’s an incredible performance with acrobatics, musicians, and singers. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance.

Things to Do in Florida, Beyond Walt Disney World

If you will be in Florida for a while, head to Florida’s Space Coast , which is only an hour’s drive east. This is where Disney Cruise Line has its own terminal on the Space Coast at Port Canaveral.

Another idea is to head south to Miami, where you can explore the famous (and colorful) Wynwood neighborhood , with murals galore! Or head to Little Havana for a fun time.

From there, you can keep driving south to Key Largo , which is hours closer than Key West.
