Does anyone know is room Renos are complete? if not are majority of the rooms complete?
I hope that on your next trip you find a peaceful view more suitable for you. There are definitely quieter options at the boardwalk. Try a garden view next time or a view of the canal that leads to Hollywood Studios. Very serene!It is very unpleasant when you have to drive home on a 16 hour trip after being woken up multiple times the night before from the people coming out of Jellyrolls in the early morning.
BWI (inn side) yes, complete. BWV (villa side) no, not started.Does anyone know is room Renos are complete? if not are majority of the rooms complete?

My reply to you said the villa side has not started yet. It should start in the fall, hopefullly.Yes, I meant on Inn side. Has the villas even begun yet? Im excited to see
Not right in front of the boardwalk, but if you walk a short way around the lake, counter clockwise to Beach Club, there is a large sandy area by the water there.Is there sand for kids to play in near the boardwalk? I think Beachclub has sand bottom pool, but I don't think I need to bring sand toys for the boardwalk, correct? : )
There was a Pop Corn machine setup in the lobby over at the DVC Concierge area. Thy had a variety of drinks, you can purchase and Activate your Resort Mug (just no refills there) and there was a Pop Corn Machine up and running.For a resort-only stay at Boardwalk… is there anyplace to get popcorn and popcorn buckets? Or is that only in the parks?
Oh that's great. So, they renovated all rooms, all categories, everything brand new? I was looking at Concierge levelBWI (inn side) yes, complete. BWV (villa side) no, not started.
It’s not a service offered by the hotels, it’s offered by the Car Center. The reason that matters is it means the Car Center shuttle can drop you/pick you up anywhere on Disney property including the parks! (MK is TTC though)We are arriving late into MCO on a monday night and getting a rental car (alamo) and then we are checking into BWI on Tuesday morning but have to drop off the rental at the Disney Car Center which is on disney property on Tuesday after we unload our luggage. When we did this at the GF, a shuttle picked us up at the disney car center. Does BWI offer this pickup? My husband will be the one dropping off the rental car, the rest of us will be going to the parks when we arrive at disney!
Ok. Has no bearing on the fact that no unrenovated room can be occupied. If they put you in a room, it's renovated. When you booked is irrelevant.I have it booked. I've had it booked since before they were renovated.
It was not there in May of this yearThere was a Pop Corn machine setup in the lobby over at the DVC Concierge area. Thy had a variety of drinks, you can purchase and Activate your Resort Mug (just no refills there) and there was a Pop Corn Machine up and running.
This was in March someone will have to comment if the offerings are still there this summer.

Every single room that is available to be occupied on the Inn side is renovated.Oh that's great. So, they renovated all rooms, all categories, everything brand new? I was looking at Concierge level
I knew it was to good to last. Maybe just to much staffing required to justify customer satisfaction improvement not to mention the smell of fresh Pop Corn.It was not there in May of this year
A little but honestly, not worth it. It may save 2, 3 min less time outside. The door is not right at the sidewalk like BC. You have to wind your way through BWV. If you are staying on the Inn side it's just not a help. We used it once but never again. It's just easier to go ahead and cut around the pool and walk.If walking to HS from the BW, is there any “secret door” (like at BC to get to EP) that keeps you in the hotel and out of the heat longer?
TIA!
We always take the route Mrs.AMC is referencing. Walk through Inn to Villas, turn left and walk as far you can, keeping to the left. At the end, down the stairs (if you don’t want stairs, take the elevator as soon as you get to the villa side), and out the door. You come out by the tennis courts, just a few few yards from a set of stairs to take you down to the path. I always feel like I’m almost there by the time I get outside. It’s great at the end of the day as well, especially if it’s raining or has been blazing hot.If walking to HS from the BW, is there any “secret door” (like at BC to get to EP) that keeps you in the hotel and out of the heat longer?
