Arrival day boardwalk area?

[java]

We will not have tickets for this day. It will be just my boys 11,13 and I. Planning on spending day at the pool. Any ideas on where to eat dinner?

We eat at Big River Grill on the outside patio on day one.

the freedom of time! If you are not on a meal plan I would plan on eating at the Fountain. I love the fountain at the dolphin. Similar to B&C but so much easier!

There is also that food wagon, with the huge hot dogs and other messy choices that are quite good

have fun at the pool! (the clown scares me)

Oh no clown pool this year! We will be at Yacht. Thanks for the suggestions.
Oh and it's in August so no outside!

You could try a walk-up at Capt. Grille at YC if you don't want to commit to an ADR. Otherwise, the Fountain at Dolphin is a great suggestion. Good food, fun atmosphere. If you don't feel like walking, take the DHS boat one stop to Swan/Dolphin. You could also walk up to ESPN or Big River at BWI. I would just go early as the wait lists can build. You could also do the QS at BC and eat indoors or order room service!

yea! no scary clown!!

Storm along bay is my favorite pool, hands down. We buy the noodles and float the day away
Hurrican Hannah's serves the same burgers as B&C, so that is a decent option for you also

All depends on what you want to enjoy on arrival day

I'm jealous

With 2 boys 11 and 13, I'd go to Cape May buffet and let them eat themselves silly. After swimming all day long, my boys could eat the side off a barn. I can usually snag a same day ADR here without much trouble.

We do that, even if we're not staying at Boardwalk. The patio is beautiful at dusk, too and you can see some of the high fireworks from Illuminations. The kids meals there are great, and we enjoy the burgers and a Red Rocket Ale. Be careful with the nachos, they are a bit spicy.
