Howdy Jennifer! You will love staying at
Disney's BoardWalk Villas! It's such a great resort!! Lively atmosphere, beautiful rooms and location, location, location! It's so nice to be so close to both Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Regarding your breakfast reservation...the boats generally run 30 minutes before the parks open. I would recommend that you either walk or take a bus. The buses typically begin running one hour before the parks open. I know that logistically it makes more sense to take the boat but given your reservation time, I would plan to take the bus if you are not up for the walk. We had 8:05 AM reservations at Hollywood and Vine last month and we made sure to be at the bus stop bright and early that morning (7 AM). We arrived in plenty of time for our reservation.
The
Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival is fabulous!! I know you will love every minute of it!! At this time, there are no firm dates regarding when announcements will be made about the event. If you have not done so already, please be sure to check the Epcot Food and Wine Festival facebook page for updates at facebook.com/EpcotFoodandWine. This will be your best source of current information.
Thank you so much for your fantastic questions!! Please let me know if you need anything further and have a magical day!
