Y'all, I am super excited about my upcoming trip in early November. I've never stayed at Boardwalk before. I was able to get a Florida resident discount on a Garden view room, so we (I'm taking mom because she needs a vacation) are staying 2 nights. Planning on doing Hollywood Studios and Food & Wine. Also snagged a reservation on check out day for breakfast at nearby Cape May so I'm excited a) to do a character breakfast and b) to finally have Mickey waffles. (it was only a few months ago we had our first Dole Whip float. I get why people love these)
A few quick questions, though, if you don't mind?
1) Maybe because it's too far out to request online, but I wasn't able to make any room requests? I was hoping to request something either main floor or close to an elevator so mom doesn't have to do a lot of extra walking.
1.5) Are 2 queen beds standard for Garden View rooms, or will I be sleeping on the pull-out sofa?
2) Are there really only a few outside access doors from the actual Boardwalk into the resort?
3) Quick service/counter service options: mostly the bakery and the pizza window? (speaking specifically at Boardwalk)
4) Merchandise! Will the on-site store at least have Boardwalk pins? (I collect one from each resort I stay at)
Thanks for the help!
