No real tips but I love BW. It feels smack in middle of the 2 parks, so you can walk easily to both (which makes me happy. You get exercise plus no unexpected transportation delays since you are just walking).

Fitness center is really nice with good showers and locker area, so if your plane leaves late, you can check out, enjoy the pool, and use a nice locker room to get cleaned up before your flight.

Get a drink at Abracadabar! I like the Conjurita, but it's a great place for bourbon drinkers.

Might sound odd but consider trying the corn dog stand. Have breakfast by the water at one of the little red tables. Ice cream late night walking around is nice too.

The lobby is on the 2nd floor. We don't like first floor rooms. Feels "basement-y". Also, long hallways and only one bank elevators. We request to be near an elevator.

I enjoyed the pool bar for lunch. The Italian sub was good! For enjoying the main pool, there is plenty of shade on the side closest to the Boardwalk resort.

BW is our favorite resort - even after staying at Beachclub!Agree with @Phil the first floor feels like a basement. Don't stay on that floor. Super nice lawn area between the resort and the actual boardwalk. Bellevue lounge is one of my favorites...

...Resort recently renovated so it feels fresh. Has a great back porch to rest and relax. Nice coffee shop just off the main lobby. Among deluxe resorts I feel like it is a bit of a hidden gem.

Also - at the pool bar and at the Boardwalk bakery - stay away from the chicken salad wrap. 3x, 2 diff family members have tried it- gastrointestinal distress ensued :-)

I found overlooking the grassy area near the boardwalk to be quite loud. Kids playing and screaming, music on boardwalk. Lots of people like that but for us it was too hectic. But don't get me wrong I LOVE BW. I just request a room on the other side.

Stayed last summer and it may be my favorite resort so far and I have stayed BC last year as well. May I suggest our room 5291. It was close to elevator and we could be in the lobby in less than 2 mins! Walk to EP, don't bother with boats for RD.

Boats stop at HS last (after stops at other hotels) so don't bother for HS RD either, but use them for any other time, they're great. I also saw they have deep fried Hawaiian rolls on the BW now, try one for me!

@popup my DB said the same. Noise was bad enough that they have no desire to stay there again and he wanted to like it :)

We used those benches one NYE, @Phil. Wished with all our hearts that we were watching MK FW closer instead of trying to get a glimpse of EP NYE FW. Lol. Learned our lesson over which FW my family preferred.
