We had a dining reservation on May 31. We arrived about 40 min early and we were seated within 5 min of arrival. Parks were busy this week, but I noticed plenty of open tables. The service was good and food quality was really good compared to places like 1900 Park Fare and Crystal Palace. We ate here last Summer and it feels like the buffet options have decreased. Not as many items this time? Not a huge buffet, but not a problem finding a few things the kids liked. The seafood aspect of the buffet is a nice change of pace. I would not pay cash to eat here, but worth a table service credit on dining plan.
Pros:
Great BuffetCons:

We had a dining reservation on May 27. Checked in early and we were seated close to our reservation time. The lighting is dim, but reading the menu was not a problem for us. One major con is the closeness of the tables. It almost feels like the Biergarten experience where you sit with strangers. The service was good. Food and drinks came out quickly. Nothing special about the food though. Average size portion and average quality Mexican food at best. Better places to eat for the money. We had never tried this place and we can cross it off the list now. No major problems. It's just not worth the money or a table service credit in my opinion.

I gave lunch here a 9, but it really deserves a 9.5. The only con is the kids lunch menu. If your kids are picky eaters then it will be a problem. They don't have any simple kids menu items. That is about the only con other than the long wait.
We got into line around 10:35am on May 28. Restaurant opens at 11am. The line was already half way across bridge. By 11am it was across bridge and snaked around the corner another 50 feet or more. We left around 11:45am and the line was still just as long. Line-up early to eat lunch!
We had the roast beef sandwich and the carved turkey sandwich. Both were huge and very good. Could have used another slice on the turkey though. Cupcake desserts were good. One of the few QS that have refill drink stations so that is a big pro! Food comes out very quickly. Usually less than 5 min which beats most other QS where you have to wait in line to pickup your food. Food is served on real plates and you get real silverware. We sat in the main dining room. Great theming. This is one of the best or maybe the best QS dining option in all of Disney.

Stayed in a studio for 5 nights in late May. We arrived at hotel around 3pm and our room was ready. We had to switch rooms after first day due to separate reservations. Our second room was ready before 10am and received a prompt email notification as requested.
We did have issues with our key cards when trying to use the dining plan. When we tried to eat QS lunch at MK it would not accept PIN. Had another problem getting snacks. Snack kiosk said it was a PIN problem. Checked with front desk and they said PIN was ok, but the dining plan was not set-up at check-in correctly? Not sure what the problem was but it was fixed after that and we had no further problems.
Main problem with the Boardwalk is the parking lot. Self parking is a long way from the front door of hotel.
The other issue is the feature pool area. The hot tub was not working very good. The water jets were not all working and the ones that did had the force of a garden hose. Also, only one hot tub in Luna pool area. Most of the time it was swamped by kids because the hot tub is right next to the entrance to the coaster slide. Boardwalk needs to have a second hot tub for the amount of people. They could also use more tables/umbrellas at pool. Only a handful of tables/umbrellas around pool.
They have no self-use refillable mug station at pool! Not very convenient to have to walk to Boardwalk or ask bartender for drink refill.
The resort is located in one of the best spots. Five minute walk to Epcot or 15 minute walk to HS. We used the bus to MK twice and first bus arrived about 1 hour before MK opened. Bus is either shared with Beach Club or Swan/Dolphin. Not too bad if you get on an early bus. The water taxi from HS to Boardwalk can be very slow since you stop at Swan and Beach Club first. We get off at Swan and walk the 3 min to Boardwalk.
Overall it is a nice resort in a good location. Some areas are starting to show their age though. If you enjoy Epcot and HS then this is the place to stay. Other than the location I am not sure the Boardwalk is worth the money when compared to other DVC resorts. if I had to pay cash I would probably not stay here. Until I stayed at the Yacht Club later in our trip I would have gave the Boardwalk a 8 or 9.

Only been here twice and couldn't really remember much but didn't take long to figure out why I love Typhoon Lagoon much more. It had stormed on 05/29/13 and there was so much trash (leaves, sticks and other tree stuff) in the lazy river it wasn't even refreshing. Wave pool was so crowded you couldn't enjoy it it needs to be bigger to accomodate the crowds.

Had dined here in the past and didn't remember some of the items. Wasn't as good as it was in 2007 but still one of the best meals you will get at Disney. Was packed in the last week of May but enjoyed the food and would probably go back again.

Didn't have an ADR on one night of our trip and we were staying here so we decided to give it try. Just okay I had the steak and it was cooked as I had requested, no Heniz 57 only A1 which I don't care for. The sauce on the steak I didn't like but the sweet potatoes were good. Had the chocolate cake which I though was stale but overall it was decent.

Dined here 05/26/13 had an ADR for 4:15 arrived at 4pm seated at 4:15. Place is themed really great, food was good beef was our favorite. Waitress was very attentive. This place isn't sponsored by Stouffers anymore but by Ocean Spray everything was good and the dessert also. My two daughters and myself thought this was probably the best place we ate all week.
