BC Marketplace

[MickeyWaffles]

Hi all!

Over the years we’ve been to ESPN Club many times - but have not eaten there in 5+ years. Since we are staying at BWV, I booked an ADR for our arrival day dinner so I could get my safety blitz & dinger sandwich that I haven’t had in years - and of course, the dinger sandwich is no longer on the menu.
Now I’m wondering if we shouldn’t just save some money and pop over to the BC Marketplace.

How is the BC Marketplace for dinner? Our favorite resort QS are Gasparilla and Capt. Cook’s. How does it compare?

Boring beyond belief. It is not a qs restaurant as much as a food stand. They offer very little. Flatbreads, and a hot something. I was extremely underwhelmed by their offerings and resorted to room service

Hurricane Hannah’s has more offerings.

Thank you! I kind of suspected this since I never hear too much about it. I think we’ll just keep ESPN for old time’s sake!

Welcome! The qs options in this area is very sad.

I think ESPN is a great option. Are you on the dining plan? Do you have park hopper tickets? You could “hop” into World Showcase. Or Fountain or Fresh market at Swan and Dolphin are options.

The Dolphin Fountain might be a good suggestion.

No dining plan and no hoppers - just a super quick bonus visit for us! Thanks for the suggestion - maybe we will try the Fountain!

I have seen people mention the Fountain on here and forgot about it! Even if not for that meal, maybe we’ll stop there for another one. Thanks!

The updated pizza window at the boardwalk seems to be getting good reviews. Marketplace is not worth the walk over.

Oh! I didn’t see that the pizza window changed. We tried it a couple times years ago and didn’t like it but it may be worth a try and it is so convenient!

We actually thought the food quality at BC Marketplace is better than that at many other QS places but as others mentioned the choices are super-limited.

We tried the Pizza window during our early December trip and it was very good. A huge improvement! The sandwiches were also good.

Ale and Compass at YC is another option. Lunch there was very very good.

Update: I totally forgot I had a Touring Plans ADR finder request in for Beaches & Cream. Just got the text notification for a dinner opening and snagged it. Fun last minute surprise! The kids will love it and I haven’t eaten there since I was a kid.
