We just returned from a five day trip staying at the Boardwalk Villas. This was our first time there and we were very pleased. We checked in on Sun around 9:00 am. The CM at the Villas were very helpful and always cheerful. Our room was ready 
so we dropped off our bags the headed straight to Animal Kingdom. First about our room. I was worried about some of the previous posts about the long walk to the elevators and the general upkeep of the room. We stayed in room 5062 just a few rooms away from the elevators and the room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable and the sofabed for the kids had no complaints.
Animal Kingdom was beginning to fill up as we arrived and we quickly got fast passes for Everest and Kali Rapids. We enjoyed the day and left around 2:30 and headed back to the pool. One note the slide at BW was uncomfortable on the backside. The kids loved it and spent the rest of the day splashing around.
Here's a quick overview of the restaurants that we dined in. Yes, we used the Disney Dining Plan and I HIGHLY recommend it
Counter service at Boardwalk Pizza: One slice (very small), soda and a brownie. Not the best pizza and not worth a Quick Service point
Kona Cafe: Wonderful dinner! Hubby and I had the Mahi Mahi
Daughter
had scallops and shrimp. Son 
had chicken fingers A definite must do!
Counter service next to Small World? Good sandwiches! Hubby and I had the turkey pannini pizza chicken
LeCellier: Wow! Great Food and Great Service! Again hubby and I order the same, mushroom fillet fillet pasta A must do
Counter service Pizza planet Just okay
Counter service The Land Seasons Just average
Counter Service in Germany bad hot dogs good desserts
Les Chef de France: Again top notch and a great waiter Anthony!
We had the half chicken mac and cheese and pasta for the Great Meal!
Counter Service Casey: As always great hot dogs and love watching the cartoons.
California Grill: BEST meal of the week. Beef filet and the warm chocolate cake is to die for! That meal alone for the four of us with NO alcohol was over $250.00 so the plan work very well.
The weather was hot but not unbearable. It's been brutal in the northeast all summer so Florida was a relief! The crowds were not bad and I DO NOT recommend going to the early morning hour park. We had no or little wait at the non early parks for several hours each morning.
All in all a great trip and a big thumbs up for the Boardwalk and their staff and also three cheers for the dining plan
