I just returned from my first trip at the Boardwalk Inn, and it was awesome! There's so much more to do than just walk around. I was there by myself on business this week/weekend and all of the families seemed to be having the time of their lives!
You can rent the multi person bicycles and ride them around, you can play all the boardwalk games, play games at the ESPN Club, and get a lot of good drinks just about everywhere!
I was amazed at the number of things to do there! I was even able to keep myself busy being alone there!
The rooms are also nice, they're themed very well. The pool area looked really fun too!
The location is great too! A 5 minute walk to EPCOT or a short air conditioned boat trip to the Studios... and you can walk over to the Yacht and Beach Clubs as well!
One other thing, with ESPN Weekend taking place, you could see both Illuminations and fireworks from MGM going on at both parks Saturday night! That was neat!
If you can afford the Boardwalk, give it a try!!!!
Have fun!
