Boardwalk Villas Questions

[Lalita]

Hi, I have a few questions, hoping someone could answer. Do you go through the boardwalk lobby to get to your room? If it is separate, is it like WLV where there is two pathway when you get off the bus, one for the villa side and one for the lodge side? Or does it kind of depends where your coming from, like WL if your coming from the boat from MK, you would have to go through the lobby and than exit to the pathway? The pool with the clown, is that on the Boardwalk Inn side, would it be difficult to access it coming from the villa side? Thanks for the help. Who does BW share busses with? I know with Downtown Disney they share with the other 4 resorts. Is it the same for all parks?

From the bus stop, you would go through the same lobby doors to reach the elevators for either side. Or if you are on the villas end near the pond, you could walk over to the stairs and go in that way, avoiding the lobby (but there is no elevator). If you are coming from the Epcot/MGM boat, you can go right for the villas or left for the inn. The clown pool is on the villas side.

The bus depends on the route and time of day, MK is usually Swan-Dolphin-Boardwalk.

Yes and at times, depending to the room location you can use the side entrances as well.

If it is separate, is it like WLV where there is two pathway when you get off the bus, one for the villa side and one for the lodge side?

Technically I think you could call them seperate. Once you enter the lobby you would go one way for the Inn and the other for the Villas.

The pool with the clown, is that on the Boardwalk Inn side, would it be difficult to access it coming from the villa side?

Clown pool is on the Villa side so it is pretty easy coming from the actual villa's. Again depending on room location....

Who does BW share busses with?

The bus that stops at the Boardwalk then goes to the Swan/Dolphin and the Beach Club.

buses - at times it shares with no one, sometimes a couples, sometimes all 5 share one bus. just depends upon the time and how busy.

coming in from the main entrance - you turn left for the BWV and right for BWI. You will go by the check in area on your way to BWV.

from the water - I go in the side entrance - start walking towards the step - but turn right pass the shops. go pass the arcade and gym - turn left - go a little ways and the elevators will be on your right.

there are several side entrances that use the steps. If you can use the steps go for these. they are all over the place and much, much, faster than walking back to the elevators.

The buses also make a stop at Yacht Club. At least on our last 3 trips staying at the Epcot resorts they did.

If you happen to catch a bus that has the Swan/Dolphin/YC/BC then Boardwalk, if you're feet aren't too tired you can get off at Swan and walk to BWV, usually you'll beat the bus.
