Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Crowd Update
New Year’s brought quite the amount of guests ready to ring in the New Year at the BoardWalk! During our visit, it was a bit more busy than we’ve seen the resort since its re-opening. Guests made their way between EPCOT and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn to explore both the park and resort…
…as well as grab a few slices of pizza from the BoardWalk Pizza Window!
The pizza window had a long line and the outside seating was busy as guests wanted a snack before their New Year’s festivities kicked off.

Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Food Update
Market at Ale & Compass and Beach Club Marketplace
Champagne and chocolate practically go hand-in-hand! And, the Yacht Club’s Market at Ale & Compass and the Beach Club Marketplace were both serving up Sparkling Wine and Chocolate Truffles for New Year’s Eve.
We tried this over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and loved this combo to ring in the New Year!

Ale & Compass
Over at the Ale & Compass Restaurant inside the Yacht Club, a Cast Member told us that there was going to be a Prime Rib dinner special for the holiday!
Even though it wasn’t posted on the My Disney Experience app or the online menus, this was a pretty cool secret holiday menu item!
