Seems like the style of refurb Yacht finished a year or so ago. Completely new rooms, updated lobby and common areas, plus new food, beverage, and retail.
I understand why Disney chose against the idea, but that Resort would be so much more convenient with a hotel entrance on the boardwalk on the restaurant side centrally located. By the Bakery. Even an unthemed emergency exit with MB reader would help!

I’m sure Disney will be fine. My guys - not so much.
. I can’t even get them to go to tea with my daughter and I in London! I need suggestions for other sports bar oriented places in the Boardwalk/ Yacht/ Beach Club area if anyone has them!
They managed when we were there last July and October because it was ‘still closed for COVID/ job market’. If I want them to go with me next time I’ll need some suggestions!

Maybe a coincidence, but I thought the same thing about ESPN and the desire to move into sports betting. However, from a thematic perspective, there is nothing more on point for an Atlantic City theme then gambling on the BoardWalk.
So you're saying the refresh will turn the boardwalk into Atlantic City?

I must admit the piercing stare (the eye's) can put a chill down your spine.
Seriously, this was the best picture they could publish of her? I'd hate to see all the ones that didn't make the cut.

Three things:
1. Over the years, the inspiration and location of BoardWalk has changed in Disney’s communications and marketing. Presently, Atlantic City is directly referenced on the resort’s page, but it has ranged from a generic “Atlantic seaside boardwalks” to Coney Island.
2. As a New Jersey native and resident, Disney’s BoardWalk has always reminded me of Ocean City, NJ because of its scale. While small by today’s standards, Atlantic City had taller, high rise buildings in the early 1900s.
3. What the resort most needs is a quintessential candy shop and, specifically, a fudge or salt water taffy show kitchen.

We really enjoy the BoardWalk Inn, but our two biggest complaints are the rooms (they're showing lots of wear and tear) and the overall dining situation. The nearby Yacht and Beach resorts have much better quick-service options.
Hopefully these updates remedy some of those issues.

Big River Grille has a sports bar feel they might like.I’m sure Disney will be fine. My guys - not so much.

Riviera, SSR, VGF2, and Poly DVC have been home runs IMO.
Contemporary and Poly hotel have been crap.

I usually stay over in that area. I like that there is a new option for food. I'd try the afternoon tea. I love tiny sandwiches and flutes of champagne.

I don't know a lot about the inside of the resort, but bakery > sports any day, I'm good with this.

I only meant the lobby/common areas, not the actual rooms. Agreed that the Contemporary rooms are awful but the lobby etc. was actually well done!

Because of Lucy the Elephant, I think Dumbo is a nice fit. Also, for the reimagining of Luna Park, the Dumbo firefighter scene integration with the slide was a missed opportunity.
