I've found the pools to be pretty chill compared to other resorts. The pool bar is good as well. We like BWV for the location not so much for the dining options.

Have a drink at Abracadabar. It's one of the more adult focused lounges on property. I wouldn't bring kids

Some pool views are fantastic for views of HS. I love pool view in a studio. Just don't request a top floor. Some of those have a weird knee wall blocking your view when seated. I love have lots of options for dinner along the boardwalk.

The QS dining is poor at BWV, but there are options at Swolphin and YC/BC, plus the Skyliner. Feature pool can also get crowded. Can't beat walking to two parks though!

Breakfast at Les Halles every day! My kids say its the best pool slide in all of WDW. And they actually have tried them all.

I've tried all the slides. Yes, BW has the best, even when it was the scary clown.

Forgot you are near the Dolphin. We love Rosa Mexicana. Decently priced for WDW, good drinks and normal food portions. It is a favorite of ours.

@totsy is correct on water slide. We prefer room near the elevators because there is only one set and the hallways are LONG. Lobby on 2nd floor so some 1st floor rooms have a "basementy" feel to them.

You're paying a premium for boardwalk location so aim to enjoy all that it offers. Evening entertainment on boardwalk, walking to parks, boat rides, fun pool (but waterslide < AKL Kidani), great TS dining, lovely outdoor seating throughout the property.

There are so many fining options in the area! Don't miss the Swan/Dolphin restaurants (download the app). I agree, don't miss the night time boardwalk activities.

@PT, I need to know: Is "fining" a combo of "fine" and "dining"?

Great tips! Looking forward to trying trattoria and flying fish. Rosa Mexicana sounds good too! It will also be F&W fest. Ep is my favorite park and I've never stayed in walking distance :)

It's a slippery slope... once you have experienced walking to 2 Parks.

At BWV, find where the nearest staircase is and use it to enter/exit the resort, if possible. Use the main pool "cut through". Both will save time/steps.
@utang, I swear I checked the post before I hit submit the 2nd time, I hate my phone.

The funny thing is that I read it as "fine dining," though it was abbreviated!
