First Time at the Boardwalk Villas!

Gulls attack because so many guests think it is cool to feed them.

Which is not cool at all.

Hey all, so my wife and I decided to rent DVC points and booked a 10 night stay at the Boardwalk Villas (Aug into Sep). Seeing that this is our first time there I have a few questions:
1. Where are drinks refilled?
2. Where is quick service breakfast currently available?
3. Is the slide at the pool finished / refurbished?
4. If anyone has been to the BWV recently did you have any complaints?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry this is off topic, but did you find renting DVC points to be a good deal compared with booking with a 30% off through Disney?

We recently stayed at BWV for one night. Only QS that was open was the bakery and the pizza window. Screen Door had some grab and go items as well.

We did a bunch of small trips last january, and it takes a little planning for food.
The biggest issue I noticed was the gift-store, which sells lots of food items, had limited hours. Its very convenient to pop in for a quick drink or snack.... but almost never open. Very frustrating.

For BW, the pizza window was easy, and the bakery had a variety, but lots of the good baked stuff was "sold out by 11am".
For BC, we struggled finding any options for QS, and ended up having amazon delivery groceries we could make in our room.
For AKL, mara had QS breakfast, otherwise you had to do takeout at Sanaa. very inconvenient.
For Poly, it had legit QS at captain cooks. Easy to order, plenty of tables. Oddly, lots of food options for a place mostly deserted.

In the end, we found ourselves heading to Disney Springs, which for lunch is no big deal, but for dinner, it is an absolute nightmare. Last Saturday, there was a line of about 50 people JUST TO GET IN to disney springs. and the place itself was a zoo. Lots of live entertainment, but so crowded, with lines everywhere.

Just be careful of the seagulls if you are eating your food on the Boardwalk. I had one land on my head one time to try and grab the muffin I just bought in the bakery lol. Those birds aren't shy.

Like a true boardwalk experience!

The Marketplace over at Yacht Club had pretty good breakfast stuff. We weren't impressed with the Boardwalk Bakery's breakfast options, so we wandered over to the Marketplace one morning and were pleasantly surprised with their offerings. We also recently discovered that Trattoria al Forno has a pretty decent breakfast, so you might want to try for an ADR there one of your mornings. We did this mid-trip and found it to be a good way to break up the monotony of the quick-serve breakfasts.
