Hi Kayla! Welcome to planDisney!
Disney's Boardwalk Inn and
Disney's Boardwalk Villas are home to one of the best locations on Walt Disney World property. The view from the main lobby out over Crescent Lake to the neighboring Disney Resorts Hotels is as beautiful a view that you will find. Disney's Boardwalk is right outside with games and entertainment to enjoy. You are also just steps away from the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT!
When staying in any Disney Resorts Hotel, the best way to make room requests is by
calling the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line and speaking to a Cast Member for assistance. They will be able to make a note on your account for when you arrive. Keep in mind that specific room requests are not guaranteed, but Disney's Cast Members do a great job of trying to make each one happen. I just recently returned from a stay and requested to have two rooms close by one another. The Cast Member not only took this into account but was able to put us within a few doors of each other.
To double up on your request during the online check-in process, there will be a few options you can select for room requests. Each resort offers different options, but if there is a choice for ground floor or near transportation, I suggest selecting this here as well. You can also stop by the front desk if you arrive early enough in the day to speak with a Cast Member here. They may be able to move some rooms around and make adjustments on the fly to move you closer to your desired location.
Kayla, I hope this information helps you plan for your upcoming trip next year! With so many exciting things happening at the Walt Disney World Resort, you are bound to have a magical time. You may even be arriving just in time for the return of
Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom. This nighttime spectacular is making a return at the end of the 50th Anniversary Celebration!
Happy planning!
Greg
