Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

Just fyi, we checked in yesterday and they are scanning magic bands and giving out wristbands a la SAB at the Luna Park pool! There was a discussion about this on another thread re: the GF but I wanted to confirm BWI is also doing it. I hope it’s a permanent change at all the resorts.

Wait I’m confused. Do u mesh u can go to SAB too?
No @kylenne just meant that that Luna Park pool is now checking that you are a BW guest, and then issuing you a wristband. They recently tested checking guests at CBR. Now it is happening at several different resorts.

We will have to watch and see if this is a long term change or just to the current very busy pool season.

Hope you have a great stay @kylenne! That's a change I hope they keep at all of the resorts pools...
 
We checked out this morning and I really think BWI is my fave of the Disney owned Crescent Lake trio. The remodeled rooms are so pretty and made a great impression on our first timer friend. The theming is so fun. CMs there were fantastic and we enjoyed the easier walk to HS. Pretty sure we have a new go to for the beginning of our split stays!

Staying there for the for the first time this September in a studio and can’t wait. Double surprise trip- my daughter (10) doesn’t know we are going and my wife thinks we are staying at Coronado (surprise upgrade for our anniversary).

We were there last week, and loved it! We usually stayed at BC/YC, and after walking over and seeing all the construction I was so glad we opted for BW this time. The only disappointing thing was their joke of a coffee shop. We ordered 3 pastries, and all tasted like they were 3 days old. When I asked if they could warm them for me, I was told they don't have a warming oven. Seriously. Buy a $50 microwave and let people warm their own.

Yeah, the deli is always better if you want food items in the morning to go with your coffee. The little coffee shop is a bit lacking.

Still don't forgive the deli for not keeping the butter butter breakfast sandwich. That was the best ever when it was the Bakery.
 
I'm checking in on Wednesday and so excited!!!! 1st time at BWI. Sad that I'm just missing F&G but cannot wait to try the Cake Bake, Flying Fish, Trattoria and the corn dog stand (lol). I'm normally a Poly girl but always wanted to stay here, especially since my original BWI trip was canceled due to the pandemic.

That corn dog stand has taken up a residence in my brain..especially the street corn dog. 2 months to go.

You will love Flying Fish if you're a steak person! We went two nights in a row and had the char crusted strip steak both times. The waiter even gave my husband the name of the char seasoning they use, so we're ordering it to try it at home.

Do you still have the name of that seasoning and would you mind sharing? We love the NY strip steak there! Our waiter once told us they also put rice powder on the outside to get a perfect char.

Yes! It's on Amazon, and it's called Char Crust dry-rub seasoning. He told us it was the roasted garlic peppercorn flavor. There are a few flavors, so we're ordering a couple different ones just to be sure. He didn't mention the rice powder, so if you try that and figure it out let me know!
