[RapunzelRN]

Watched vlogger live stream tonight and coincidentally, I saw that the Boardwalk To Go cart was open and it was ab 9:15pm! That’s good news.

Can you tell me what quick, convenient breakfast options are available at BWI? We plan to get something at the resort each morning. Nothing heavy though. Can you share what is close by and convenient for us to get a bite to eat?

Also, besides the in room coffee makers, where can we grab coffee? Thanks!

 

[slyster]

Am I correct that the Inn rooms have Keurig coffee makers (K cup style)?

I would like to know the answer to this too...we will be staying at BWI in a garden view room. Thanks!

The best option would be the boardwalk bakery since it is close by and has some good quick options.

At the BWI, the quick service option is the Boardwalk Bakery. The bakery has typical breakfast pastries and a few breakfast sandwiches, also has fruit available. Additionally,the BWI used to open the Bellevue Lounge in the morning for coffee and pastries,but unsure if this is an option during current conditions.You can also walk to the Beach and Yacht resort for the quick service options -- these locations had the bounty platter and Mickey waffles, when I was last at Disney in October 2019. Not sure if the BW Bakery had the waffles.

Also, my room had a Keurig coffee maker at the BWI.

Enjoy your vacation -- the BWI resort is whimsical, relaxing and has wonderful cast members.

Thank you both! Boardwalk bakery it is. Is there mobile ordering available there?

 

[Dave006]

Is there mobile ordering available there?

Yes right there in the MDE app. Breakfast 7-11 AM, Lunch & Dinner 11 AM- 10 PM currently. The booking times are in 30 minute increments.

Okay thanks did that. Sounds perfect for a quick morning breakfast.

Not sure you can answer but when you do mobile ordering, do you pay through app meaning it gets charged to your room sort of like the magic bands or does it just charge to any card you want to use?

When you do mobile ordering at a restaurant, it does NOT get charged to your room (the way a purchase does if you use your Magic Band). It will get charged to the credit card which you have stored in the app.

Some people would prefer to use a Disney gift card. You cannot store a gift card in the app. People save the gift card number as a note in their phone so that they can copy & paste it into the app when they want to use it.

Boardwalk Bakery is our favorite for a quick breakfast and coffee. Sometimes we eat out on the Boardwalk and others bring it back to the room. Depends on the days plans.

Also, the Belle Vue Lounge (when it opens again) serves a continental breakfast each morNing.

We normally stay at Pop or POFQ/RS and are usually only in the room to sleep. This year we are staying at BWI Standard 2 queen. I have heard some rooms in that category have 2 balconies, is that true?

I have looked on Touring Plans for rooms but I would rather hear from the experts on this board, where is the best room under a standard option?

I've never seen that in the inn section. But the 1 br villas absolutely has 2 balconies

You'll love it!!!

 

[LynnTH]

I know. Just stayed there a month ago. Had a 1 bedroom Pool View. Very excite for the Boardwalk View. Have not had that for many years!! Was going to try for just the Standard View which is less points but figured it's the 50th Anniversary. Might as well go for it!! Wasn't sure if we would get it as I know those go fast too.

I saw a recent touring plans video that shows larger sized garden view rooms in the "horseshoe area" back by the quiet pool on the Inn side. Does anyone have pictures of these rooms? Is the extra room enough to make it worth to request in that area? Also, if you get a room at that end, are there doors in that area to enter and exit?

Those rooms are a specific room category - “Outer Bldg - Garden Room”

Normally those rooms have Club Level access, although on Disney’s website they don’t have them currently labeled as CL.

If I’m not mistaken the pics on Disney’s website are current: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/boardwalk-inn/rates-rooms/#

Hope that helps!

I’m referring to the garden view rooms in this area. I think you are referring to the outer garden rooms with the private gardens?. I think they are across the way from this area? Some of the rooms in this area are suppose to be bigger because of their shape. Just trying to confirm that and if it’s worth it to stay here. Thank you!

Ahh, yes, you are correct, I was mistaken in the rooms you were asking about.

Sorry about that!

Hopefully someone who knows those rooms will be along to answer.

Yes but they are a bit out of the way from the lobby. They are only on the 1st and 2nd floor:

1st floor rooms - 1342-1343, 1345-1346, 1348-1349, 1351-1353.
2nd floor rooms - 2342-2343, 2345-2346, 2348-2349, 2351-2353.

They are nothing special as I recall other than a rather long hallway with lots turns, There are 3 sets of stairs that you could use from the 2nd floor but they are not in a convenient location.

The are not near the boardwalk or near the bus stop.

Thank you! I have requested a different area on touring plans but when I saw the video I started second guessing myself. Didn't know if this area would be better for the somewhat bigger rooms and close to the quiet pool. I wondered if you could enter and exit the building from there to head out places and not have to walk the entire hallway, maybe it wouldn't be bad.
