Does anyone here have or know of where to find a playlist of the music loop played at the Boardwalk?

I have always wondered this too. I love that music. Just makes me happy when I hear it. I looked up some music from the 20s -40s on Spotify and found some music that reminds me of the BW so I listen to that when I need my BW fix.

I'm at work and can't try right now but have you tried youtube? I have found many music loops there - love the Poly and MK Entrance music loops.

Wasn't that Gonzo in the Muppet Movie too?

I must have been asleep when I typed that. Of course it was Gonzo. Hey they both start with the letter G

And they do look alike!

** not sure how to delete my comment but I found that someone asked this same question just the other day ... sorry for not doing my homework first. ***

Curious about the refurbishments going on with regard to self-parking. I see they have the notice that valet parking might be the only option. Curious what their timeframe is for that and whether or not more "self-parking" will be available the first week of July?

A quick review of my BWI stay over the weekend:
My DH has been dying to stay at BWI since our F&W trip in November, and I am so glad we did. We really had the best time.
Arrival day: DME dropped off in this order-Pop, CBR, BWI, then BC. I enjoyed looking out the window and seeing all the resorts. Upon arriving in the lobby, I felt a little lost. We arrived about 10:15am and dropped our bags at Bell services and I went to the check in desk. I did do Online check-in, but I never trust the MB are activated A lovely CM checked everything for us, called upstairs to the concierge to let them know we were on our way up. When she gave us directions to the elevator, she stopped, and walked us up instead. She was so lovely, sweet, sharing tips and tidbits about BW. When we arrived at the Innkeepers Club on the 4th floor we were met with a smile. He got us right into the lounge for a bite to eat since morning offerings were ending. The CMs were the BEST!

DH and I then headed to Epcot for F&G, it was HOT! We had a blast. My favorite was the butterflies. By the time our room was ready we took a nap.
Room 4237, King bed, BW view, close to the CL. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Everyone at BWI was absolutely lovely, and we will be back!!!
Pros: relaxed vibe
location
CMs
comfortable, quiet rooms
beds are so comfy
the balcony
the pool!
the fact my DH loved it (he's a Disney grump
the CMs in the CL!
buses were empty to MK and not a long wait at all

Cons: Not a single one!
Some pictures. And construction was not bad at all. We were right above it and didn't notice a thing. Sorry for any duplicates

Hi everyone!

We're staying at BWI for the first time this summer and are really excited! We usually stay YC or Poly, but finally had a chance to try it out. My question is about the gas station across the street: do they sell fresh fruit? I'm not sure we'll do a Garden Grocer order this year, but I wouldn't mind having a fruit bowl in the room. For some reason, searches mainly turn up discussions on beer sales...

So glad to hear you say you had a great trip at BWI. We are staying in June CL. Was the lounge busy? How were the offerings? Also did you happen to notice any CL standard view room locations that looked like a good spot? I'm not sure what to put down as a request? Sorry for bombarding you with questions I hope you don't mind, but I would love to know from someone who recently stayed. TIA

The lounge was never busy. The mornings had the most people, but the tables were cleared quickly, and everyone found seats. It is a smaller lounge IMO. I chatted with the CMs re: standard CL view and they said there are 2 rooms with a "less than great view" I'd request view of Iluminations maybe, which you can see from the lounge as well. The breakfast offerings were oatmeal, cold cereal, bagels, lox and salmon, mini muffins, Danish (they were yummy) and the drinks were bottles of OJ, Nesquik, milk cartons. Water on request, small Dasani bottles. Greek yogurt. afternoon there are tea sandwiches and cookies, crumb cake. Evening was clam chowder, vegetables, mini quiches, (I forgot to make a list, sorry. Desserts were always delish!!

You can also buy fruit there at the store, there's a decent grocery selection there.

Thank you so much for the info. The pictures look great. We have always wanted to try BW but its been booked every time I've tried. Really looking forward to it thanks to your mini review!

How is the parking? I read a warning as I went to book our room for June that we may not be able to park at the resort if we drive in? We always drive to Disney so we will definitely have a car, but I do not want to pay for Valet parking on top of all the other expenses of Disney. I am fine with parking myself as we usually never use the car again until we leave so not worried about being close, just want a spot to park in.

I'm interested as well as we are arriving on 6/5 by car.

It's all booked up for my dates as well, glad I changed back when we were there. My kids are getting really excited too
