Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

[dansdad]

I'm sure I missed the boat on this, since I've been away for a while, and I haven't read through the back pages yet. But is there a general dissatisfaction with the new Flying Fish menu? They completely purged literally everything from the old menu. I understand changing things up, like California Grill changed a lot in their refurb, but they still kept their signature dishes. But FF even broke their promise (published in the Disney Food Blog) that they would still keep the potato wrapped snapper. I actually didn't like it that much, but some of the other dishes will be sorely missed!

I have to say that after reading the menu I was not impressed. However, after watching the Disuplugged review and actually being able to see the food I can't wait to go! It all looks fantastic!

Last morning and the construction people are out and about early. Remember my NOT being bothered by construction? Well today is an exception, my girls are in the lounge while I pack because it's so loud with drilling and talking. Hopefully they will take this room out of inventory until they are done, because no one should be woken up thinking people are drilling through the walls. I let the CMs know this morning. I guess I've been hesitant to complain since I asked to be moved when we checked in so we could have connecting rooms. Curious if the awnings on the balcony will be replaced or left off. Sorry to complain all. Honestly this was such a terrific stay, I just have autistic kiddos not liking the noise. Let me get to packing!!!

Quite understandable and no need to apologize. We moved rooms mid way through our trip because of the same issue.
Here's a pic I took from the pool one day after we switched rooms. The balcony on the 3rd floor with all the workers was our balcony.


Glad you had a great time at BWI and I hope your next destination will be just as great!

Great review - I see they are already completely booked for dinner over marathon weekend.

More on FF, WDW News Today published a bunch of pics on Twitter. Here's one:

From there you can see the rest. They loved the steak, said it's the best they ever had at WDW. Though I actually loved the old strip steak they had. Some of the desserts looked really good. So maybe we will try it in December after all.

For $58, better be good!

We are staying for the 1st time at the BWV just for 1 night in November. I was wondering if they have a kids play area and or kids splash area at the pool. Cant seem to find any info. Thanks for the help! If anyone has any pictures they could share too.

Hi Pas, sorry you had to be disturbed with all the noise on your last day . I totally get it, my son is autistic and would not like the noise either.

Thanks for the update with the buses, that's good to hear.

Here's an understatement -- that is not okay.

I just booked a single night stay at the Boardwalk Inn for a Saturday night in December. It is a Standard Room with a request for a 1 king bed. This is for a surprise engagement trip for my girlfriend. What are the chanced I actually can get a king room? Are there any ways I can increase my chances? Any other tips? Thanks...

It's completely dependent on occupancy and how many others requested one. Both of which are impossible to know. Other than making the request, nothing else to do. Good luck with the king bed and the engagement!!!!

I'm sorry about the noise, but glad you had a great stay overall. Hope the rest of your trip at HRH/Universal is just as great .
