I wonder if I could get some advice from you wonderful people! We're currently booked to stay at the Boardwalk Inn later this year. We're making the rounds, trying to stay at every hotel in WDW. We've stayed at the Beach Club before (loved it), but not the Yacht Club. I'm wondering if we should switch to the Yacht Club...... Anyone stay at the Boardwalk before? Will we regret not staying at the Yacht Club???
I have not stayed at the Boardwalk before, but I was considering it with this current promotion of 35% off the room rate. However what swayed me back to YC was Stormalong Bay. The pool area at BC/YC is just so incredible... I've seen the pool area at Boardwalk, and frankly, it's scary. I mean, huge clowns terrorizing small children scary. And not nearly as fun a facility.
To be fair, the Boardwalk pool area is modeled after Luna Park in Sydney, Australia, and the clown entrance is scary there too.

I would rate Boardwalk as a slightly better location than YC (closer to DHS by walking and just as close to Epcot and Swolphin) but the pool pulled me back to YC.
