Boardwalk Inn Question

EmpressJenny · 06-13-2004

I've booked POFQ for my trip, but the more I'm thinking about it, the more I'd like to be closer to Epcot and the TTC rather than deal w/buses which only run every 15 to 20 minutes to get everywhere. I'm thinking I'd like to upgrade to the Boardwalk Inn. Any input?

BWI is very nice. It puts you in the middle of a lot of things..... Walk or boat to Epcot, boat to MGM, night life on the BW is nice (if you are into that) Jellyrolls, Atlantic Dance Club, ESPN. Nice restaurant(s) at the BW or easily walk to Y&B. The down side (if you want to call it that) is that you are upgrading from a moderate resort, to a deluxe resort.. That could put a pinch on the pocket book if you were not planning on it.

You could also look at Y&B to stay at. You can easily walk to the same locations (or boat) to all of the same.

If you'd like to stay at BWI, requesting a "standard" view room will save you a bit of money. You won't be overlooking the Boardwalk, but that's a good thing. It is VERY noisy until at least 2 a.m.

EmpressJenny · 06-13-2004

Oh, good point. I didn't think about the noise. But I'd hate to spend the money on a deluxe and have a view of a parking lot...grrr I'm confused....

The deluxe rooms overlook the Boardwalk. A standard view overlooks the front of the Inn, (the entrance). The parking lots are a good deal off, so you're really looking at the landscaping around the front of the Inn. It isn't a bad view at all, really, and much quieter than the deluxe rooms overlooking the Boardwalk.

If you can afford it........go for it!!!
You can't beat the location of the Boardwalk in my opinion.

EmpressJenny · 06-14-2004

How long would it take me to walk to Epcot from the Boardwalk Inn?

**llama** · 06-14-2004

It's about a 10 minute walk. You enter Epcot in the World Showcase, just between the United Kingdom and the bridge to France.

Well I booked it. Can't wait:)

I'm sure you'll love the Boardwalk Inn. It's one of my favourite hotels and the location can't be beat! Especially if you love Epcot. And there's always something fun going on on the Boardwalk. Congratulations!

Thanks for all your help:)

Have fun at the Boardwalk! It is our favorite hotel of all, and we love the noise at night! We love the pastries from the Boardwalk Bakery! We love having a cocktail on the Boardwalk at night and then walking right to our room! And most of all, we love getting to our room 10 minutes after the fireworks end!
