Loving your TR so far! I hope things turn around for you at the BoardWalk... it's one of my favorite places to stay!
Hello and welcome! I'm glad you're having fun with us so far!! While our visit at the Boardwalk wasn't the best, we did come to appreciate the appeal of the resort. It's absolutely gorgeous, there's no denying that. I can understand why people love it!
I don't know where to start! Except with the BW stuff Yeah, those hallways are long. Remember last year, when we had that awesome room right off the elevator with the view of SE and Illuminations? And then sewage appeared and we were moved basically to a room in the state of Georgia ???? I don't know exactly how far the walk to the elevator was mileage wise but it was over 6 minutes. Then we had to walk out to transportation or food. So no mugs for us that trip. It was way better at BC last month and WAY better at WL. Even when we stayed at AKL it was really good, and people say those hallways can be long but our room was HOURS closer to the elevators than our 2nd room at BWV!!!
Your view is very pretty but I can imagine the noise and that sucks It's like I've said a million times, you can't beat the location of the Epcot resorts............
I have to laugh with you on your hair, which doesn't look bad at all BTW! Nov. is about the only month mine is manageable in Fla., but that's not to say it's decent looking every day in Nov. Steve talks about moving to Florida when Chris goes to college. I'm like what???? do you know what I'll look like on a regular basis?????
Jealous you got to meet Mickey and Minnie in their Christmas sweaters! As you'll find out we missed all the characters in their holiday outfits this time unfortunately.
I'm glad you're enjoying all the Christmas decor so far Not looking forward to hearing more on X's hurting ear (which I know about anyway).......
Yes!! I kept thinking about the plumbing issues you had when our tub wasn't draining, and then remembering how far you were after moving. I was like, is history repeating itself?? What is the deal?? LOL! Who designed this place and why do they hate us?? Install some more elevators, people, come on! Upgrade the flipping plumbing!
While we were waiting to go into Epcot one day, we started talking to a family that was staying at Beach Club (they were upgraded upon arrival from Caribbean Beach - they were so excited!), and they said the hallways were like a maze, but not as far as our walk. I know now that requesting a room near an elevator is super important. We also felt like booking club level at Boardwalk would make more sense for us than at any other resort...as long as we were close-ish to the lounge. We had to walk past the area on our 3rd floor that is open up to the 4th floor lounge area. I laughed and said, "I feel bad for the deluxe rooms down here that are club level. Do they provide them with a grappling hook or ladder to get up there so they don't have to walk all the way to the elevator?? Are one of these doors a secret staircase??"
The noise was mainly a problem on the first night, the day X was back from the doctor, and our last night. It was really unreasonably loud. Fortunately, on the other nights we were too tired to notice or care! Exhaustion won over noise...maybe that's what Disney is counting on??
My hair. Ugh. So, it's not at the really bad point in the pictures yet. Later in the week, it was cold and misty in the mornings, and my hair, much like the Grinch's heart on Christmas, grew three sizes those days. We didn't get as many holiday character meets as I wanted...which is coming up soon, BUT spoiler alert, we did meet Mickey and Minnie in the Beach Club lobby in outfits I'd never seen before, and it was very exciting!!
I've never stayed at an Epcot area resort either, but they look cool.
Yuck too far. But the view is sooo pretty.
We did that Photobooth too the lighting was not flattering.
Me too!
Also yuck.
We've had to do this before too!
Same.
I agree. My reaction is kind of like yours I just looked mildly amused
It was .17 miles to our room, LOL! I tracked it. I really think the resort designer was feeling hostile toward guests the day he or she drew up the plans. Or they're a sadist. Or both, haha! But yes, the view was soooo nice!
Yeah...the lighting in the photobooth was BAD. I was so tired...and I look at the bags under my eyes and think, I didn't need to check luggage, I could have packed everything in there!
When we got back to the room, they left a real Do Not Disturb sign on our door...but took our homemade one. I was sad, because I like to take the notepads home with me!
Haha, the Dinosaur picture...I mean, really, I've never seen anyone look scared in it before unless they're putting on a show for the camera. It's just like, "Oh, hey. There's a dinosaur there." It makes me laugh!
Joining in. I too was disappointed that Rivers of Light was not up and running.
Welcome aboard!! I'm glad you're here!
I was SUPER sad about Rivers of Light, but it kind of became a blessing in disguise for us, because we ended up being really tired on the night I had planned to fit it in if it started. I have two more trips this year, so crossing my fingers I get to see it at least once!
