But BW is routinely one of the hardest resorts to find availability at. The DVC side (in non COVID times) is usually completely booked at the 11 month mark. And even the resort side is difficult to book for a lot of the year. I really don’t think the theming of a slide at the pool is hurting the marketability of BW. People stay there because of the entertainment on the boardwalk itself and the walkability to Epcot, especially during festivals. It’s especially popular for locals due to that very reason. And a lot of us locals don’t step foot in Disney pools because we have our own pools at our homes.
I do not know what the term is for fear of clowns, but my wife has it. My Daughter and I have tried for 10 years to get her to stay there at least once as we both what to have experience of being right by Epcot and walking distance to Hollywood Studios. When she saw that the Clown slide was being removed, for the first time she was open to the idea of trying to go there. How many more are like her. This is not just about today, but in 20 years the points expire and Disney will have the ability to redesign/expand the DVC on the Boardwalk. This is about long term marketing.
We've seen Snooki and her family there 2 years in a row.
Both times it was the week before Memorial Day.
That hasn’t been true in my experience. Beach Club has been much harder than boardwalk to get in. We were able to get boardwalk at about 6 months out for last April before COVID.
Any updates on the pool slide? Who or what will replace the clown...This seems to be a very well kept secret! No insiders here who is in the know???
As long as they don't use the current version of Mickey and his pals. I find them scarier than the clown.
I’m hoping they use versions of the characters from the 1930s to be closest to the turn of the century boardwalk feel.
