Two weeks ago it was opposite. YC and BC were first, then BW.
On Saturday the 29th we stopped at Caribbean Beach Resort first, then BWI before the bus headed over to Y&BC.

You'll probably have a water/garden view. You might ask for the leisure pool instead of Luna Park. There are doors to the outside at the ends of the corridors, but you won't be able to go to the pool directly from your villa. You'll need to go out the villa entrance door, walk down the hall to an outside exit.We booked a 1 bedroom villa for Disney Boardwalk room only reservation, not thru dvc. Couple of questions on room location. rooms accessible from the main lobby? What floor is that considered, 2? I know there are only one set of elevator for the villa side. Where would you recommend a good room, one time we had a room facing the main pool and it was way too loud, but I do not want to be too far away from the main lobby. Also is it like the main building where you had to take 2 sets of elevators to get to the ground floor on the villas side. I know on the regular side you would have to take a elevator to the 2nd floor and then transfer again to get to boardwalk we have children in strollers and that was somewhat of a pain. If you have a room location by the quiet pool on the dvc side can you just walk out somehow over there or do you have to walk all the way to the main lobby to access elevators. if that is the case with a ground floor room can you just walk out anywhere on the villa side. I'm just looking for ease of access with a stroller and not waiting or waking long hall ways to access a elevator.
Their ice cream is good but way overpriced. Bring back Seashore Sweets!I hope Ample Hills is able to remain open. This place is a must do for us when we go to Disney or stay at the BW now!

If you do end up on scooters, and you are not to fussy about room location, I would try for the 2nd floor since you are on the Inn side. To get to the Boardwalk itself, you will need to take the elevator near the lounge on the second floor down to the first. If your room is not on the second floor, you will need to use the elevators (not the same as by the lounge) to get to the second floor, then go to the elevator by the lounge. I travel with family that use 2 scooters and that is what keeps me from staying here. Hope you have a great time.Hello, Boardwalk Inn folks! We originally had a reservation in April at Yacht Club, but due to many things, in addition to CV issues, we've postponed our trip until Nov 4-11 at BWI. Looking forward to catching up with happenings here - it's been a few years since my last stay here, and really looking forward to it.
There will be two of us - both "mature" roller-coaster-loving ladies, possibly on scooters!
Just a quick note to say that I just watched the Disney+ feature about how they get all the Holiday decorations up at WDW. Fabulous - if any of you are scheduled for your BWI trip this coming holiday season, I recommend it! Just what I needed, as another stay-at-home day begins . . .
I am curious, what was the name of the Disney+ program?
If you are looking at a studio at the villas there will only be one real bed. The other sleeping surfaces are a sofa bed and small pull down bed (slightly smaller than a twin). The Inn side will have two real beds and a sofa bed. For four adults I would prefer the Inn sleeping set up.Hello. We are new to Boardwalk Inn but have a reservation here for August 2020. We usually book Beach Club but were not able to get as good of a deal as we normally get there and Boardwalk Inn was a better deal (and with our poor Canadian dollar right now, I'd rather save a bit and try Boardwalk Inn). We are getting excited at trying something new. Now I have found that there is a bit better deal for the Boardwalk Inn Villas. Why can I get these for cheaper? Is there a downside to moving my reservation to the villa? We are two adults with two adult DD's (ages 18 and 21). TIA for any advice!
