The eats are kinda slim for counter service at the BW. At least from what we experienced. There is the pizza window, and the Bakery (serves sandwiches for lunch/dinner and breakfast in the morning). There are various stands on the BW, but they aren't always open. Also in the morning there is a coffee stand and the Bellvue Lounge offers a continental breakfast. We ended up just going to Epcot instead! The BC is very close, and so are the Swoflin, so there area lot of choices not just RIGHT there all the time at the BW. It didn't really bother us at all - we never really missed the fact that there isn't a real "food court" area there, it was enough choices when we needed it.

That was the only thing we had trouble with when we stayed at BW. We ate at the Belle Vue every morning. I know, what I know now, I cannot believe I gave up park time for that. Anyway my DD was little and was, still is, a picky eater. I did get a take out burger for her from the Big River Brewery place there on the Boardwalk. The lack of a real grab and go was a problem for us then. I know better now.

That's a beautiful fountain!

Did you guys get refillable mugs? And if so, where did you fill them? Trying to decide if we'll get them or not since there's no food court.

What a pretty fountain!! And such a great time of year for your new Disney adventure!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

The fountain is beautiful! I'm glad you got to see it!

You book a March trip?! And it's one that doesn't match my dates

 

[k_reile]

isn"t it awesome to get to see illuminations on your first night and then get to walk back to the resort that is soo close! We also did this on our first night and then it was so great just to take a short walk to the BEach Club! That is why I love the boardwalk area!

Hi Brooke -

Awesome start to your TR. I am officially caught up and I think you had the perfect first day. Your studio looks lovely and the location is fantastic! Wowsa! to the walk around the world showcase only to find Mexico closed. Yikes! The new restaurant opened the day I left...at 3pm! Looks like a fab location.

Well, personally, I think you had a great first day! And I am glad to hear you liked that chik-fil-a. You got some really great pics - just lovely!

A March trip? Details please
You know....there are some really beautiful flowers (and a fun group of girls going) in May.....
Just trying to make sure you get enough use out of your AP

That was the other thing. I remember we went down to Belle Vue but they were not supposed to refill mugs there. We sent the kids with big puppy dog eyes.

I think you were supposed to go to the bakery??? Mr. Cranky pants ( my Dh ) made sure to point that out to me that there was no where convenient to fill up mugs.

Lincoln Center is such a beautiful complex, and the fountain fits right in!

I watched Moonstruck tonight and saw that fountain.

Be sure to pack really warm clothes for March. I froze.

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Oooh, pretty, pretty fountain.

Hey Brook... I'm caught up again... I really love that photo that you took of Epcot at night, the one where you said it was one of your favorite places in Disney... mine too! It is one of the places where I think.. wow, I am here! The fountain, the music, the swirling purple things, the excitement in the air. I love the night time photo you took, especially without people in the picture!!
Henry is adorable as usual during his whole Soarin experience, I'm so glad he was tall enough! Gotta love those shoes!

 

[DWGal210]

Hi Brook!!!!

What a great night at Epcot! I'm so glad Henry got to ride - Justin is now 40.5" tall so we're hoping he gets on some rides this trip.

Yummy meal at SS! It's been a long time since I've eaten there, but yummo!!!

Congrats on booking your dates for March!!!! How exciting!!

 

[loritemp]

Ok I will be the gazillionth person to ask...when in March?! I should be an official DVCer today and plan to call to book our March trip. We are going either the 1st or 2nd week, depending on which resort we can get and when!

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

GREAT updates Brook! I never really paid too much attention to the BW but your pictures and comments have captured my interest. We don't own DVC but it plays in the back of my mind at times... Hmm....

I absolutely adore the picture of Henry sleeping in the big bed - too adorable - I just love the little ones all curled up!

Hi! I thought I'd join in your TR beings I see you on every other TR I sub too! haha

I'm really enjoying it so far. I really want to stay at BC one year. The walking distance to Epcot would be soo nice! What is your home resort?

Your first day sounds so nice! Even though you didn't get a whole lot of park time in, every part of your day was full of pixie dust! I'm so glad Henry got to ride Soarin'! My oldest rode when she was 3, and this year I'm hoping my youngest makes the cut off and can ride!
