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

[WDWKOOK]

Now that I can post and upload easily from WL, here are some room view photos. We were in one of the 3 rooms outside the Innkeeper's Club on the 4th floor - 4261:

Hi KOOK !

I found the same problem with the WiFi. I blamed it on the conventions there at the same time as my trip since it seemed to worked fine in the early am and in the evening.

Did you get over to Kouzzina yet?

Walking to Epcot & DHS is the Best!

Glad you are enjoying your stay at BW,Have a Great day.

We never made it to Kouzzina since it was so easy to walk over to Epcot for a bite and we ate breakfast in the lounge.

HIya Kook! Oh no, sorry to hear about DD. I'm sure everything will settledown and be fine. Please keep us posted. Regarding the lounge, are you saying that they didn't put out appetizer's and dessert? Say hi to Anita and the gang if you can. They know me via Brunette or Michele. Tell her I was the one talking about all the DIS people (Nascar girl, CRResortFan, and quite a few others). Keep us posted! Hope you are having a GRAND time!

Brunette

I meant that the lounge was empty those evenings, not that the food was not there. We've been at WL/CL since Monday and we are having a wonderful time. Thanks!

My DH sprained his ankle this weekend and our flight leaves one week from today! We are staying BWI CL. I called and talked to CRO last night and told them that he sprained his ankle. I looked at the request this AM and it says "Guest has trouble walking". I'd like to call back and be more specific but not sure what to ask. 4th floor near the lounge? is that ok?

Oh no, so sorry to hear that your husband hurt his ankle. You should email the IPO and ask to be on the 4th floor, as close to the lounge as possible due to his mobility issue. Is he on crutches? I hope that your trip helps him feel better.

We just switched our reservation from Poly to BWI CL. We are 92 days from our trip and we reevaluated our plans. We were thrilled to find availability with our PIN. We have stayed at both and really like both resorts. It has been several years since BWI and we are looking forward to going back. We wanted to be closer to Epcot and DHS for most of the trip. We considered BC/YC but DH made the final decision on BWI. After going to the Poly for the past several Summers, a change is good IMO. Love all of the great reviews of this resort. From staying there in the past, I can concur how lovely this resort is. (We don't have clown issues either )

I hope you have a great vacation!

Only 1 Month and 1 Day till I am at BWI!! We are staying 10 nights, which is awesome!

Any recommendations for a honeymoon at BWI?

Does anyone know if they offer these Honeymoon pins at BWI anymore? http://pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=3179&sid=2528.1333668041.v2

While I will continue to think that the Contemporary is an excellent resort, my new found love for the Boardwalk Inn has finally forced me to give up my CR Resort Fan 4 Life user name, and now go with something that is more appropriate - BWI FAN 4 EVER. It was tough giving up 39,674 posts, but it is worth it as a signal to my new allegiance.

Kook,
All those pictures look amazing and it's great to know your daughter was feeling better.

Also I am wondering what did you think of the BWI CL Cast Members and did any of them make a great impression on you?

The BWI has to have impressed you immensely to give up your CR RESORT Fan 4 Life username. Seeing Kooks pictures has me looking forward so much to my June vacation at the BWV. Then In October we get to stay at BLT and that also has me excited for our first stay.

Knew t was only a matter of time before you would change your DIS name

 

[sjs314]

KOOK those pcs were great!!! Did You fnd the room very noisy in the evenings?

DH's concern about staying at BW had always been about the Noise from the Boardwalk but he loved our room which was over the FF facing the Village Green with Views of Cresent Lake & the Boardwalk, with the doors to the balcony closed you did not hear the noise so he was happy. I am just wondering about a full head on water view room... So tempted to book CL next trip.

No doubt about your loyalty!
We really like BWI too.
It's a good thing they have kept the scary clown pool or everyone would want to book there.

[Grumpy Grandma]

kook are you going to post a BWI review or did you post it and I somehow missed it??? Or maybe just a TR .... since my upcoming trip is to BWV, VWL .... not to mention others .... I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts.

Me too I knew it was him as soon as I read the name...meant to be
