(CLOSED) Disney's BOARDWALK INN and VILLAS Information Thread ~2012~

[LisaCM614]

Hi
In the Activities flyer WDWKOOK posted it looks like they have swim up movies at Community Hall now. Is that right? That would be so cool!

Thank you everyone for this thread in getting me ready for my pre-first stay at BWV as a DVC owner. Meaning I was able to sneak in a few days last week at BWV, before our first 11 mo planned stay at BWV during Thanksgiving.

I loved Boardwalk! I have to stay it is my favorite! My kids still like BLT as their #1, but this is my way #1! Maybe Boardwalk Bakery had a little to do with it. I ate way too much at the bakery! There were quite a few white boxes in our room. Here's a few pics from last week. I haven't seen anyone mention the mickey shaped muffins, my kids loved it. My DD loved the Sugar cookies. My DH liked the Fruit tart and I loved loved the Salted Caramel Ganache (way better than the stuff in Germany IMHO).



And finally...

Thank you for posting your photos! Those desserts look very yummy!

OOOO thanks for sharing those yummy pictures! I can't wait to stop in at the bakery in October! Those Mickey muffins are too cute! I have a Mickey muffin pan at home and the ears always break off

Lmao! Ooohh you got told! JK! Can you tell the kids being home is already starting to affect me?? Summer just started too!!!!

Why yes, I did...... I like to think that I'm fairly quick on my feet, but there are times (even for me ) that I have to bow out and admit defeat

Raining & windy here today....probably in Charleston, too...kids are nuts! When did y'all get out of school? Bet you go back early like us, also.

Thanks for the photos Virginia. They have cannoli at the Boardwalk Bakery? I don't remember seeing those there before. Yum.

Glad you had a fun stay.

Here is the link to the most current BWI activities calendar, but they don't have the June one posted yet:

Look, we just arrived at BWI yesterday .... After driving thru the effects of Tropical StormAndrea. We are at Epcot now, but when we get back to the room, I will try to post the June weekly activities schedule if that helps.

Glad you made it safely! We are feeling the impact of that rain this weekend.
Hope you have a nice dry and uneventful trip after that start!

Thanks so much. Luckily this morning was sunny, but some ominous looking clouds are moving in now...hoping to get in a quick swim before the skies open up. Keep dry and safe where you are

We go back really early...like the first week in August Of course getting out on May 22nd does have it's advantages - like going to WDW before the crowds hit ....and the heat

Thanks for the link



We're off to Cancun tomorrow (no Disney , but still very excited) Can't wait to really start planning our 2014 WDW trip when we return from vacation. Hoping BWV sticks...I've been known to change my mind I'm a little biased towards the MK resorts. We want to expand our horizons and try something different ...an Epcot resort. Simply because of this great thread we decided on BWV!


Have a great weekend, everyone!

We will be there in 21 days for our first BWV stay!! Didn't put in any requests - garden/pool view studio. Hoping for a magical time!!!

 

[rebeccaariel]

Just booked an Aug 25-Sept 1 trip at BWI! It's my first stay at a deluxe AND my 21st birthday, so I'm pretty excited!

Question: Is there any way to ensure we get two queens instead of one king?

Odds are with you for 2 queens ... It is more difficult to get a guaranteed King.

What a wonderful celebration you're going to have - congratulations!

Just have your request added to your reservation by calling the WDTC.
