Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

First trip not staying at a Disney resort (at swan)..my 9 year old was a little confused why the TV didn't have the Disney Resort channel..in particular the boardwalk channel. He actually missed the song that has become the ear worm from prior trips...so playing this for him as he passes out haha..

When we stayed there in May I was surprised to hear it was the same music they play on the Grand Floridian splash screen. I guess they both have that turn of the century vibe so it makes sense.

Heck I still play Stacy on my laptop lol
 
16 days until we arrive! I’m thinking about doing a small grocery/wine delivery through Walmart - I need to be there to show ID if I order alcohol, correct?

Through Walmart, yes. Dizzy Dolphin doesn’t require you to be present for grocery/alcohol delivery. They charge a premium for their service, though. I’ve used them for five-ish years and have never met the delivery person for alcohol. Last trip was July 2025.
 
62 days!!!

Weird question - the chances are pretty slim that they would assign us a King room out of the blue if we didn't book one? We are a couple and have a resort view and we don't want a King (I don't like the look of the rooms that I saw on youtube). But I don't want to waste a request on that. Think we should be good? And if not, I suppose I can ask to switch to regular room?

You can't book a King room as it not separate category unless you book a Graden Room - Club Level access since they are all King beds.

It is possible, and we have been assigned a King room a couple of times at the BWI when they have been very busy even without requesting one when we have only be traveling as a couple. Since you can't book a King room, it is always only as a request. We actually like the King layout since it provides more space in the room.

What view is your reservation for at this point?

You can always stop at the Front desk, and request a 2QB room if you have not already noted it on your reservation in advance. Also if you get your room notification via SMS txt, you can also call the number listed in the message.

We have a resort view booked. I already have a pretty specific request through TouringPlans (I know not guaranteed, but figured to shoot for the moon and ask for resort views that face the green lawn!) and I don't want to mess it up by saying two queens instead of a king.

We don't arrive until after 5pm. I guess if we get a king and I really don't like it (I will be reasonable about it :) ) I can ask if maybe we can be moved the next day. I've never asked to be moved before though.

The King room I saw had a bathroom that was all in one - so the vanity area in with the toilet and shower, so like he couldn't be in shower while I'm doing my makeup. I like the separate toilet/shower. And to be nit-picky - the coffeemaker/fridge was just on this weird dresser stand alone thing in corner of the room. I know I'm weird. 😄

If you mean the Village Green, that is a great view, and there are no King rooms that overlook the Village Green.

Yea that is not a regular King room maybe it was an accessible room? A normal King room is just like a 2QB room. The tub/shower is in a small space with a door, and just outside is a double vanity in an alcove off the room. Normally the Coffee machine is over the Beverage Cooler is in a cabinet right next the (2) Clothes cabinets along the entry way from the door.

Yes! The Village Green. I saw that there are some resort view rooms that have that view. Maybe in the past they were garden views? I'm sure everyone requests that, so I threw my hat in the ring too!

Good to know about the King rooms, so maybe if we do get one, it will be fine!

thank you!

They were / are still a split category area. The once starting at the lobby area were "Courtyard" now Resort view and the last group right near the corner of the boardwalk were, and still are "Water view" room. These rooms are only on the 3rd - 5th floors.

It is a popular request but so it the regular "Courtyard" view that overlook the inner Courtyard of the Inn side. And remember there are not that many actual requests. There are a very high percentage of guests that just want a balcony if they make any "Requests".

Well if you get a King room then they did not give you a view of the Village Green but they are nice rooms if you don't need the (2) separate sleeping surfaces.
