Review of Boardwalk Villas (Disney Vacation Club)

This is our home resort vacation club but have only stayed here twice. Good location, but need to have an inside casual food place to get a snack, fill up drink mugs, instead of having to walk out onto the boardwalk. Still a nice resort. Boardwalk used to have more entertainment, but that seems to have decreased over the years. Rooms are very nice & overall I would recommend this resort.
Pros:
location to Epcot/Hollywood StudiosCons:
lack close restaurants - counter serviceReview of Royal Anandapur Tea Company

Love the hot masala chai -- it's my favorite, even on a summer day -- and the China Green Jasmine is excellent. Can't go to AK without stopping here any time of year. Ask about the flavors, etc. if you haven't tried something before, but if you like tea at all, go ahead and be adventurous. You'll be glad you did.
Pros:
Not like the tea available at the grocery store!Cons:

We ate here in May 2013. We had the tomato basil soup along with corn dogs from across the street. The soup was very good, and it tasted great with the corn dogs! We also had the coconut matterhorns for dessert and they were great. I love Mary Poppins and the theming in the bakery is lovely. The seating outdoors was nice. This is a great place for lunch.
Pros:
great soup and amazing dessertsCons:

Great corn dogs! We ate here in May 2013. We took our corn dogs across the street to the Jolly Holiday Bakery and ate them with the tomato soup from there. Great combination! It was a quick and tasty lunch.

We had dinner here on May 5, 2013. We had reservations and we were seated very quickly. We sat indoors, which was nice since it was chilly. We started with the pommes frites, which were delicious. Me and my mom spit the Monte Cristo (plenty for two) and it was great. My husband had the salmon sandwich and the french onion soup, he loved the soup, but the sandwich was just ok. Our five year old had the mac and cheese and he loved it. Dessert was disappointing,the mickey mouse beignets were super cute but didn't taste very good. Overall we had a good meal.

This is the “quick service†area at the Grand Floridian. My daughter (33) and I ate here twice while at Disney May 10 to 16. Food here is prepared fresh and the desserts – Oh Boy! Awesome. Great food and staff were wonderful as well.

My daughter (33) and I ate here during our visit to Disney May 10 to 16. Twice ate at the build your own pasta. These meals were always very tasty, hot, and made while you were standing there. Also had a burger there and it was quite good as well. Of course breakfast isn’t breakfast without a Disney Cinnamon Roll and the ones at the bakery here are great!!

Ate lunch here. On the Disney Dining Plan Quick Meal Service. Wonderful lunch, I had the macaroni and cheese – yummy. Real China Dishes and silverware. You place your order, they give you a large stand up card, find a seat and the wait staff deliver to you. We took advantage of the lovely warm weather and ate outside. Our waitress was terrific and was quite surprised that we tipped her considering that we were on the quick service dining plan. She more than deserved a tip – was attentive and looked after us very well. This restaurant is worth a visit to. The crème brulee – superb! I hope they’re still there when I go back!

Spent the day here Thurs May 16. Last day of vacation for my daughter (33) and I. We were on a late night flight so decided to try out Blizzard Beach (since Typhoon Lagoon had been closed suddenly for a refurb). Really, really enjoyed this water park, in fact more than we like Typhoon Lagoon. Lots of great rides and the bobbing wave pool is much better than the tidal waves at TL. Only down side (and why a 9 not a 10) is the tubes that they let people use in the wave pool. I think Disney should rope off at least one area where those not using a tube could enjoy the waves. Some people using the “free†tubes lack consideration for those that aren’t. Other than that, this is a great place to spend a day. Loved Team Boat Springs. When you get to the top – what a view!

This lunch is AWSOME. My daughter (33) and I just finished our trip to Disney (there from May 10 to 16) and ate lunch here twice. She had the turkey sandwich twice and I had the beef sandwich and the turkey sandwich. This lunch experience is worth the wait in line for. We lined up both times at 11 am and were in and finished lunch both times by 12:30. They have the ordering and serving down to a science. After ordering you are handed a red plastic disc with a rose on it and your bill, you go in and find a seat, place the rose and your bill on the table and the wait staff bring your lunch out to you. The meals are on a trolley that has a warmer on top, they come out, find you and serve you your meal. Real china dishes, real silverware. Perfect! The cast members need to be applauded for their patience in dealing with some of the rude customers that my daughter and I witnessed. True professionals! Don’t miss this lunch – especially if you are on the Disney dining plan – it’s worth every penny and the long wait.
