Beach Club or Boardwalk?

[rufio]

Which do you prefer? Beach Club or Boardwalk and why? I can't book yet since my DVC "use year" isn't until June and I'm fresh out of points after my honeymoon. But when the time comes, I'd love to stay at one of these (if they're available at four months out)!

I prefer the Beach Club. But I don't want a room that doesn't have a balcony I can sit down on. The BC has a bunch of those 6" balconies.

We just picked Beach Club because of Stormalong Bay, we thought our kids would like that. But Boardwalk looked great too, better location IMO, more in between DHS and Epcot.

Beach Club... I like to be able to walk out the back door and be at WS in Epcot... I also love Storamalong Bay over creepy Clown pool...

Beach Club for Stormalong Bay!

 

[rufio]

Haha! I guess I should have specified that I won't be using the pool!

If no pool, then I vote Boardwalk!

Any particular reasons? We were married there in December, so I've seen the lobby, but that's about it.

Location, closer to DHS but still easy walk to Epcot.

I love love love love the boardwalk!! I've stayed there twice, and it has been great!! The Boardwalk has great QS/take-out food for every meal, and the walks to Epcot and DHS are awesome!! The friendship boats are easy to get for the most part, if you chose to use them. Also the walk to Yacht/Beach/Swan/Dolphin are easy too, my parents loved the QS breakfasts at the Beach Club when they wanted a true meal, but when it was quick snacks like fruit, the Bell Note lounge in the Boardwalk was easy to grab and go.

Agreed easy choice if pool doesn't matter. Boardwalk is excellant DVC home of 13 years. Better location to Epcot and HS

Plus my mom's best friend has had her DVC home there for as long as I can remember.

Beach Club is a shorter walk to Epcot, too.

Depends on the time of year. Winter: BWV. Summer: BCV. Pool is better at BCV, plus you're closer to Beaches and Cream, but the rooms are nicer over at BWV. It depends on whether you want to use the pool or not.

If we're taking the pool out of the equation, I like the theme of the Boardwalk better, and they have better food options over BC.

Beach Club! I really like the DVC area over there. It has a lovely statue of Ariel out front and the rooms have a great feel to them. I've stayed there twice in all of my trips to Disney and I loved it both times. I also feel like the walk from BC to Epcot might be a little bit shorter (but I may be wrong). Also Stormalong Bay is phenomenal. Probably one of the best pools I've ever used.

Restaurant wise you have Cape May Cafe, Beaches and Cream which are both amazing and then Yachtsman Steakhouse over at Yacht Club which is just a short stroll away.

We stayed at BW for our 1st anniversary, and at BC for our 3rd anniversary. We're going back to BW for our 5th, we prefer it there. I thought it was quieter & less crowded which I like. Strolling along the Boardwalk at night was romantic (of course, you can walk it from BC too). We stopped at the bakery in the mornings to grab breakfast and never had a wait. Both are beautiful resorts. I don't think you can go wrong either way, but I'm just a Boardwalk kind of girl.

Boardwalk
The boardwalk has less kid traffic than the Beach Club. The pool is not important to us. If you are really into resort pools then I would stay at the BC. We like to walk around the lake and get icecream from beaches and cream (the walk justifies the calories )
