I will be attending a conference at the boardwalk in October. I need your help getting excited about this resort. I have never stayed here before but have gone over and eaten and I has not done much for me. I have been to disney a number of times and this is my 3rd trip this year. My previous resorts have been GF, POLY, WL, AKL, POR, POFQ, AOA. Please tell me I am going to love or at least be happy with this resort! I am excited about the proximity to epcot during food and wine. Please give me your resort tips! Thank you!
I have only stayed at BWI once for a week long trip and holy smokes it's been 7 years since that trip! However, we always venture over there since we stay at one of the other Epcot resorts during our trips.
Where I can't say it's my favorite Disney resort (Polynesian will always have my heart), I can say it is a beautiful resort! The room we had was pre-renos and it was very large with a balcony overlooking a fountain, close to the quiet pool. If you enjoy a little afternoon pool time, the quiet pool is secluded, quiet, and lovely. Great place to relax and read or leisurely lounge in and around the pool. The clown pool is a tad creepy, but it's a fun slide and Leaping Libations is a great place to grab a drink.
Another great benefit is that it's close proximity to both Epcot and HS. The walk over to HS is a peaceful walk in my opinion.
I'm a huge college football nut, so during our fall trips a Saturday afternoon or evening visit to ESPN Club is always a must to catch a game and grab some wings and beers. There's lots of great entertainment on the boardwalk, which is fun and it's also a great place to people watch! Jellyrolls is another fun place to pop into if you haven't been - always a GREAT time!
At the end of the day, if you aren't enjoying the resort, pop over to visit your favorite for a few hours and just remember there will always be next time to go where you really want!
I haven't found a deluxe i haven't enjoyed yet. I like some more than others, but they have all had their own character!
Sorry for the long winded response! Enjoy!
