I would but I am afraid of the pullout. I have a big tall kid, I think the pullout would kill him.Why not book a Boardwalk Villa? They have been refurbed more recently.

Some are sort of close to the lobby but Standard would be closer. Look at the layout on Touring Plans and you'll see where water view rooms can be and where all the others could be. Both could be far but standard stands the chance of being the closest.First time at Boardwalk Inn and I'm excited! I have a standard room booked, but was thinking about upgrading to the water view because I think my mother would enjoy the view. My question (since I'm not familiar with the layout): are the water view rooms further away from the lobby? Or are they all over the place and room type wont make a difference as to proximity to the lobby? I don't want to make mom walk extra if I can help it
Can anyone share recent Magical Express experience? I’m wondering if there are other stops before BW. We fly in to MCO at 8 pm and want to get our kids in bed as quickly as possible our last experience a few years ago was that it took forever.
In August BW was last of 3 stops, we were supposed to arrive around 8pm as well but flight got delayed not sure if that made a difference.Can anyone share recent Magical Express experience?

Another option at least for breakfast is Trattoria el Forno.Yes, thank you very much! I'm just not sure we want to deal w/ that. Seems like a pain. I have zero interest in eating outside in the hot summer heat, which is when we go. Then there's all the rain. It would be nice if they at least had one indoor place for when the weather is not so great outside. I do like all of the choices, just wish there was some inside options.
You know, I hear people say that this is a fairly quick option, but every time we've tried it (4 times now) we've been quoted a wait time of 60 minutes or more.Another option at least for breakfast is Trattoria el Forno.
You go inside to the podium and ask for a non character breakfast. I usually get seated within 5 mins. There is both inside and outside seating.
Pancakes, eggs, fruit plate etc. , not a huge menu but nice to sit together and getting a mimosas is nice too.
We just came back from an unexpected 10 day trip. We were (happily) the first stop after the airport. Additional stops were YC and BC. Unfortunately on the way back to MCO we were the first stop to get on the bus, followed by YC and BC. I'm not complaining though. We've had situations in the past where we were the last of four stops when arriving and the first of four when leaving.Can anyone share recent Magical Express experience?

Sorry, I did it this past Saturday on a holiday weekend. Waited 2 mins,You know, I hear people say that this is a fairly quick option, but every time we've tried it (4 times now) we've been quoted a wait time of 60 minutes or more.
Makes me a little sad because I loved Trattoria al Forno for a quiet and REALLY good breakfast before the change to a character meal.
Just my experience
We've always tried it toward the end of breakfast service, but given your experience, it most likely is a timing issue.Sorry, I did it this past Saturday on a holiday weekend. Waited 2 mins,
I will say my times have been after 9:30am. Maybe it’s busy early?

Ah yes, this is how it was at the GF club level outer building. So how do you request a lower roomYou can request a bottom floor room but you'll have to go outside, use the outdoor staircase to the garden area and then go back inside to the rooms. The indoor stairs do not have access to that area.
Yes, the themed pool is off the Villa's. No it's not a hike.
Just that, ask them for a room on the first floor. Call or use Touring PlansAh yes, this is how it was at the GF club level outer building. So how do you request a lower room
I was there a few weeks ago, they stopped at 5 resorts (yes, 5!), and BWI was the middle stop after Pop and AoA. Honestly think it was just slow (place was empty) and they were just putting all the resorts in a general area together instead of a couple of half empty buses, but it still didn't take that long.Can anyone share recent Magical Express experience?
