Cape May - we have had the dinner buffet there a few times when we have stayed the Beach Club Villas. The food was OK and we liked that we got a bucket of crayons and could draw on the paper table cloth like the kids were doing!!

Boulangerie Patisserie -- Many times. DH has been traumatized though because they stopped serving their Marvelous. Luckily we have a pretty darn good french bakery in our downtown area that is just as good as BP. (And they have a much broader choice and a sit down area.) We have another too, but the downtown one is better, I think.

Cape May -- Yes, many times. The last being early December after they brought back the crab legs. I did not eat any though. They had something like a beef stroganoff that was really yummy that I went for instead.

Haven't gotten anything from there....might have to give it a try sometime though.

 

[Luv2Roam]

We have a few times and what we have had was always good.
I saw a cake on the cake thread I would like to see if they can make for our wedding anniversary. I have some months yet, so plenty of time to check into that.

haven't gotten anything from this Bakery but would love to try it out, next time I'm staying at the Beach Club

 

[Luv2Roam]

ooo... We have stayed at the BC twice and really liked it. And can you believe -- we were assigned the same room both stays, a little over a year apart. What were the chances?

 

[Meriweather]

Wow..that is odd, Barbara. When is your anniversary? How many years?
Can you find a link for the cake?

Post #307

DH's favorite characters are Jack Skellington and Jafar. If they could work Jack in there it would be even better. And appropriate since there are several hidden Jack's in WDW HM.

I think it will be 34 years. Who counts after awhile?
Of course I was 10 years old when I got married.

The poster stated they got their cake from CA Grill. But figuring Boardwalk Bakery could do the same or similar. DH would get a kick out of it.

 

[Meriweather]

I know how it is about the years....I think I was 10 also

Cute...and looks very yummy!!

Haven't been there.

I have enjoyed the tomato mozzarella sandwich from Boardwalk Bakery!

I really enjoy Beach Club, we've stayed there twice also, really enjoy the pool area and being able to walk to EPCOT. Our next trip we're going to try out BLT, hope I'll enjoy it as much as BCV, if not I might be selling some points and buying more BCV points.
