So we just got done staying to the boardwalk and we enjoyed our stay. I'll say this we had full anticipation of using he bars and stuff after the parks at night, but it didn't work like that, bc we were so tired. But the convenience of being close to Epcot was awesome. We had a nice view as well of the boardwalk, hotels and lake which was nice. The people at the resort were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. I will say this though, I think the Beach Club is more for me and my wife. Bc we didn't really go to the bars at night the boardwalk wasn't really that much of a use for us rather than location. The beach club is actually even close to Epcot by a slim margin. But the pool is awesome, they have better restaurants and has more of a family atmosphere. Loved e boardwalk but def. would rather the a Beach Club if we want to stay in that area again. We are looking into the DVC, and are looking at moderate hotels as a home resort, but if we do our become members and we have a chance to upgrade the beach club will be on top of our list for sure.
