Any Boardwalk club level food pictures or reviews?

Does anyone have pictures of the food selection from the Boardwalk club level?
Trying to compare it with the club level at the Poly.

No pictures and not able to compare it to the Poly, but I stayed BW club level in October and can compare it to AKL, YC and BC.

Compared to those, it was quite good. The lounge itself is very nice - large and well decorated - bigger than YC and BC, but not as nice as the AKL lounge, which I love due to the view out over the lobby of the AKL.

The food offerings were pretty good. Breakfast was pretty standard, but they had some nice appetizers and hors d'oeurves in the evenings. Desserts were also quite nice. In this respect, slightly better than recent experiences at YC and BC, but (again) not quite as nice as AKL.

They say the recipe for Sprite is lemon and lime, but I tried to make it at home....There's more to it than that!

Nice lounge. About like most Club lounges I've been in. As far as food, when we were there I believe they had some bbq chicken wings, spinach/artichoke dip, and cheese/vegetables/crackers. Also had an assortment of beer and wine as well as soft drinks. Pretty basic...

We stay at the BWI 3x a year but I have never taken pictures. I can tell you that for breakfast they serve bagels, pastries, fresh fruit, cereal, yogart, coffee, etc. They have out from 11:30-4 popcorn, pretzels, nuts, crackers, cookies, cupcakes, lemonade, icetea, soda. From 5-7 is the hot items which sometimes will consist of wings, kabobs, soup, chili, chesse, dips, vegs, beer, wine. Then from 8-10 is deserts. In the coming months the resorts will be changing over to a new offering.

Thanks for all the great info so far
It all sounds wonderful! September '10 can't come soon enough!
Any idea what the new food offerings will be? I know I've been reading about lounges reducing the food choices

My DH is wondering if you can get beer & wine with desserts? Do they have milk available all day? My youngest son only drinks milk

Yes you can get beer or wine with dessert. All you need to do is ask and they will get it for you. That should go for milk as well. The CM who have become like family to us have only been informed of the changes but they are not sure when it all will take place. DH and I head back to BWI-CL on 1/10 but I am in constant contact with the CM.

Just curious -- who decides what food will be served at the CL lounges? Is it hotel management? Is there club level management who decide? Obviously, the CMs working the lounge don't make the decisions on what to purchase and serve.

We were at the BWI in August & we enjoyed it very much.
Here are some pictures of the food & CL.

Breakfast offerings. (bagels, grapefruit, danish)


Platter of desserts - evening.


Lounge (drinks area in the back)


This was the view from our room, but you see the awning & balcony of the lounge. You can see Illuminations from the lounge.

Our observations:

Breakfast -- no muffins, which we thought was odd. Fresh strawberries which was nice.

Snacks -- fine

Evening canapes -- kabobs most every night, which we found tiring.
