Around the corners of the resort's main building, the boardwalk stretches away to the left and right wrapping around Crescent Lake.  Although the buildings along the walk each have their own character and design, they really are attached inside.  The hotel rooms above the boardwalk are all accessed from common hallways.

Stretching away from from us in this view, are the Screen Door (a shop selling miscellaneous supplies primarily for Boardwalk resort guests), Character Carnival (character plush, t-shirts, and souvenirs), and Thimbles & Threads (resort wear).

The boardwalk, looking from the central green toward the Big River Grill.

The Big River Grill restaurant, the first micro-brewery on Disney property, Jellyrolls, a dueling piano bar, and Atlantic Dance, an old style big band swing dance venue complete this end of the boardwalk.  That yellow building at the very end of the boardwalk is Atlantic Dance.  In this view, you can also see the Swan and Dolphin poking up above the boardwalk buildings.

Turning around and focusing on the other end of the boardwalk, you'll find Flying Fish Cafe, Seashore Sweets, Spoodles, Boardwalk Bakery, Arcade, and the ESPN Club.

Flying Fish Cafe is in the building at the right, behind the top of the boat ramp.  It's a premier restaurant, but frankly it gets mixed reviews.  One of the things it's best know for is chocolate lava cake.  It's baked to order, so it takes twenty or thirty minutes to get one, but is a spectacular confection.  It's a decadent, flourless chocolate cake with a hot liquid chocolate center.  Ice cream is served on the side to provide contrasting flavors and temperatures.
