Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

[Sandi]

Thank you. On the same note I thought I read that there is now a bus from the Epcot resorts to take you to the front entrance of Epcot. Can anyone verify this ?

The only time we ever saw an Epcot bus at BW was when the boats were not running due to thunderstorms. Still better to walk, but for those with mobility issues, a bus was needed. If they are running a bus for Epcot early ADRs, I have not seen them.

Sorry, did not mean for early ADR's. Just curious if there was a bus from the Epcot resorts, mainly for monorail access.

By the way Kook, I did not get wanded but DW did at Epcot. Apparently, you women have to be selected often enough to counteract the profiling of men who might commit violence. Apparently, I'm not menacing enough to scare a ladybug.

I was waiting with another woman who also met the "menacing woman" profile and it was also her third time being "randomly selected" hmmmm was that your DW perhaps?

For monorail access to MK? Even though the MK bus from BW is not the speediest, it's an efficient way to get there. At MK, you can access the monorail to the MK resorts and to Epcot (two different monorail paths). We always get PH tickets, so frequently will walk through Epcot either on our way to MK or on our return from MK. It's not an efficient use of time necessarily, but we like to do that.

I just do not recall seeing Epcot busses at BW except in the case of storms. I will try to remember to ask about this when we are there next month.

They run buses when the boats don't run like storms as the PP mentioned. If you're looking to get onto the MK monorail line I'd recommend a bus to MK. It was a hassle doing the EPCOT monorail to TTC then to GF IMO. We did the monorail from GF to MK and a bus back to BWI and it was quick and painless while the Monorail was packed.

Eta: I just reread your question. For ADRs the BWI is a quick walk to WS and from there your ADR. Which would probably be quicker than entering from the front of the park.

The bus from EPCOT Resorts to the front of EPCOT is likely only after 2pm when the Typhoon Lagoon bus requires a transfer at EPCOT to get to/from the water park. I believe TL bus access is direct in the morning.

This is good to know! We are heading to Typhoon Lagoon for a DVC Members Beach Bash one night during our trip, we'll be sure to leave plenty of time for that bus ride. Thanks!

bumping my question from the other day, if anyone has the answer: what are the Luna Park pool hours?

I can't find the info published anywhere. Thanks...

No, my DW only was selected once which means she's more menacing than me.

None of us ever carried any type of bag. It is just annoying, especially with all the data about us with the MB. What's the theory? Let's profile a woman without a criminal record on her 19th trip to Walt Disney World - there's a threat.

thanks Dansdad!

Kind of a weird one, but for anybody who's been there recently: What soap are they using in the hotel rooms? Last time I was at a Villa, they had the Grapefruit scented H2O. I'm really hoping for a repeat, but just want to know whether to pack my leftovers from last time.

Hi All,
DH & I will be staying at the BWI 6/30-7/8 for our 21st Anniversary, we can't wait!! We reserved a water view room-is that the same as a Boardwalk view or will it be a pool view?? We've stayed at the BWI several times already but always in a standard room w/ a view of the courtyard pool. Thanks!

We were at BWI in December and it was the H2O grapefruit bergamot stuff. I have a little bottle of the body lotion on my desk. (Just took a sniff . . . aahhh.) I will be there next month and will report in on this if no one else provides a more recent report.

I leave today! I'm a very last minute packer... as you can tell!

Oh, my! Well, you'll have to report in on your findings. Have a wonderful trip!

Since the discussion has been on buses, can someone please tell me what resorts BWI buses share? We stayed at BC a while back, and I think we shared with 4 resorts. It took a long time to get some places.

Last year they made a change and for MK the BWI, BC/YC and Swan/Dolphin all have their own buses.

Great, that helps a lot! So the bus for AK shares with these other resorts?

All other buses share with Swan and Dolphin. As I always say though--with Disney all things are subject to change without notice.
