Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

I also can't believe that place only has ONE elevator.

It doesn't. Each side has a bank of elevators. BWV has 3 in their bank not sure how many are on the inn side.

I was at my local B&N snarking at some Disney planning info. Oh how I wish they didn’t print this page, because it no longer exists ;(

On the Villa side, the elevators are quick. We never had to wait long for one.

Sorry, I meant one set of elevators, none at the ends or in the middle of each side of the resorts.

Funny enough I was just reading that this morning on the way into work (I picked it up solely for the coupons in the back, since we are going to Cake Bake Shop). One of the dangers of print media tbh, and a reason I'm surprised they still make the Birnbaum guides.

If I'm staying at BWV and order groceries, are there luggage carts to help me get it to my room?

Yes, if they’re not all being utilized, they will let you use one.

Starting to second guess whether a studio will be enough for our trip- myself, my wife and 10 year old daughter. We have free dining plan so probably not much use of the kitchen but wondering how much the extra space and washer/dryer will make a difference.

We love the washer but with a 10 year old I don't think it is as big of a deal to have the door as she will not have to be napping or retiring for the night super early.

Yes you will lose some space but I think you will be fine. Just think of it as a normal hotel room.

You mean by not having a 1BR? What time of year are you going to be there? On our last summertime visit, we were so hot and sweaty when we got back to our 1BR each evening that we literally stripped off our clothes and dumped them in the washer immediately. We still joke that we didn’t need to bring any clothes that trip because we washed every night and could have worn the same things next day!

As far as extra space, you’ll be able to fold the double Murphy up into the wall and have the sofa and floor space when no one is sleeping there.

Yeah we currently have a studio for 7 nights middle of September; worried it might feel “cramped” but don’t know if the extra 2k is really with it….

I definitely don't think it's worth it with one child. The balcony gives you space, IMO. If it was under $1K extra, I'd maybe say go for it, but for $2K, not worth it -- that's just me (I've stayed in both).

I have 2 boys age 12 and 9, and we don't think a studio feels cramped a at all, since most of the day we are at the parks, or enjoying the pool, balcony, etc.

IMHO, 1 BR for a family of 3 is overkill and not worth the extra cost

Just got back from staying in a studio for 9 nights. It was 3 adult women. We had plenty of space.

Getting really excited as we are into single digits before we check in to the Inn side. Are there any construction updates on the stores?

 

[Turk February]

Does anyone happen to have photos of resort-themed merch currently or somewhat-currently at Boardwalk?

Are all rooms on the fourth floor club level? I noticed a sign to the club lounge when we got to our room, so was curious.

No. There are suites that have CL access on the other floors ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ). The main CL floor is the 5th floor where the lounge is located. Yes, the Inn Keeper's Club is located on the 4th Floor but there are many regular guest rooms on the 4th floor. The bulk of the CL rooms are located within the CL doors. 2 are located just outside of the CL doors. Also there are 5 Deluxe CL Guest rooms on the 3rd floor.

Thanks to @KerryCM for catching my mistake.

The main CL floor is the 4th floor and that is where the lounge is located.

Yikes, I thought I was answering a question about the YC but I answered in the wrong thread. Thanks for the catch @KerryCM .
