We are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside. Have been to disney before and stayed at Caribean and the All star sports. Just think that after 3 years of disney that we need to do something different. Also, when we have gone in the past, we went to downtown disney, but someone told me about the disney boardwalk. Is this the same place and if not where is the boardwalk? Do the shuttles take you to the boardwalk?? What is there to do there??
No, Downtown Disney and Disney's Boardwalk are not the same places. Disney's Boardwalk is behind (sort of) EPCOT. It has 2 resorts on it, restaurants, an ESPN Zone and some other smaller shops.
Yes the shuttles will take you to the Boardwalk.
Also on your Sea World transportation question, we have stayed at Disney resorts many many years and we have never had an issue with someone at the hotel getting us a ride to Sea World. Not free of course, but they will arrange for you to get there and back if you ask them.
Enjoy, we'll be at Disney in November.
