I've not stayed there, but i'd like to. I do hang-out there and use some of the Boardwalk amenties though.
No, i do not pool hop
Rather, I like riding the surrey bikes around the whole area. It's great fun. I also like the pizza place and how it has a window for to-go pizza. I love the sweets shop and the ice cream place.
In general I think it's a really fun resort and would like to stay there sometime when fate allows.

Hey there! :wave:
We stayed there last August and had a fairly good time. The rooms are nicely decorated and spacious and they have a great pool! The only thing we took issue with were the restaurants on the Boardwalk; they just didn't appeal to my family. It was also a little inconvenient to have to go out onto the Boardwalk to refill the mugs. Also, the bus transportation is shared by 5 hotels and they were always crowded and seem to take forever to arrive. I think those issues will keep us from staying there again.
The location though is great! We walked to and from EPCOT and took the boat to MGM. We had a top floor room above the Flying Fish and the views were great and we never heard any noise from the Boardwalk at all.

My husband and I stayed in a studio at BWV in April. We really liked the location and the hotel was very nice. We decided we would not like to stay there with our children. The bus to MK took too long and the theming was too adult. Our next trip in October will be at PC with connecting rooms. We would not hesitate to go back if it were just the two of us.

its a great place. the walk to Epcot and MGM is great and saves alot of time. only downside that we had when we stayed this last March was mainly the bus transportation. it goes to the 5 diferent hotels and takes forever! however what me and my girlfriend found out was on the way back to the hotel on buses, the first stop was the swan or dolphin (cant remember which one) but we would get there and walk around to the boardwalk to our room. now i am 15 turnin on 16 so it was a easy walk for us. however my parents didnt care to much for it lol. but at boardwalk you are the first ones ON the bus, but the last ones off when arriving back. just my little 2 cents of information. hope you enjoy your stay!:wave:

Thats good to know! It was impossible to get anywhere when we were there. Most of the time the bus was just about full when it got to the BW and people ended up waiting for the next bus, which was very slow to come.
The bus route was YC/BC- BW-Swan/Dolphin

especially since you are paying deluxe pricing....I just didn't see the value added when staying at the BW.Eeyore said:

Yup, lately the walkway to Future World past the UK and Canada were open from 9am to 11am, with none of the shops or shows open though.

The walk up access to Epcot is worth the extra price vs a moderate in my mind. Also there's great number of restaurants that are a short walk from BW or YC/BC or swan&dolphin.Computer Magic said:

I think the location of the Boardwalk is great (walkable to Epcot and MGM) its just difficult to get to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom by bus (the AK bus also makes a stop at Typhoon Lagoon) and almost impossible to get to DTD (it can take upwards of an hour to an hour and a half to get there, IMO- the bus situation at all the Epcot resorts is not acceptable for deluxe accomodations). Having said all that, the busses don't stop me from staying there, I enjoy all the Epcot resorts. :wave:
