 Hey friends tonight. We are checking in to Disney's boardwalk resort for a little staycation I plan on giving you a full resort tour and then grabbing a bite to eat at the brand-new boardwalk deli Possibly taking a dip in the carnival theme pool that they have here and just having a beautiful boardwalk kind of night Anyhoo, let's go do this The really awesome thing about our staycation tonight is the fact that it only cost $90 it was only $90 to stay here tonight And that's because I rented DVC points, and I just couldn't pass it up. I mean that is such a great deal This resort is one of my favorite resorts because of its close proximity to Epcot You can literally walk to Epcot and you have so many things that are going on at the boardwalk Just hanging out here at night is so fun But we're gonna actually head to the room I'm gonna show you the room tour give you a look at what a $90 night room looks like And just kind of relax and unwind a bit Just to give you guys a little bit more information about renting DVC points I pulled up the DVC rental store site and I have a link in the description of this video if you guys want to check Out the site and next week the boardwalk villas are going for a hundred and forty dollars a night Mine was $90 tonight because it's $10 a point and my room cost nine points But this one right here is a better view because it's a garden pool We just have a standard view, but it's still really amazing for $90 So you guys should definitely check it out like I said all the links are in the description and it's amazing how much money you can save Like I said a $90 a night room at Disney is so amazing. It's like you really can't pass it up I don't even think pop century the all-star resort rooms are actually that cheap and I want to show you guys the room I mean, it's just a basic standard room So it's not really really over-the-top fancy, but we're at the boardwalk You know I mean so I'm gonna give you the room tour and then we're gonna go around and enjoy some of the amenities around the resort itself One of the things I like the most about the boardwalk is just the overall theme It is so cool to look at all the different pictures statues Chairs and in fact in the main lobby a lot of people don't know this But these pictures up here are every single castle from all the Disney parks from around the world And they have so many of them. It's really really amazing And I just kind of like hanging on the lobby looking at the roller coaster here and relax and Now a lot of people will say these rooms are a little bit dated and I would kind of agree with them It is scheduled for a refurbishment soon, but you cannot beat the location and when I mean data I mean they're still beautiful rooms. It's just like they don't have like updated like furnishings and I think the thermostats are still like 1970s wise or not 1970s because I wasn't here in 1970s But I mean it is a little dated but it is gonna get better and you can't beat the location I mean location location location I'll show you guys what I mean when I say dated but here is the room and I do love it It's still a very nice room. You have some nice Carnival artwork. You have a couch with a pull-out bed a nice little table here The bed is nice, but you can see like the bed is a little bit dated too. There's no space underneath there You know what I mean and over here. You have another little pull-out day bed We'll pull that out in a little bit and I love it I mean I love all Disney resorts, but if you take a look like here's a thermostat. It doesn't even have Digits on it. It just tells you cool. So of course we put that all the way down and all the way up We got a little kitchen area right here, and this is just a standard studio nice little GE fridge some Mr. Coffee not fully stocked and then the bathroom area here I always like the mirror in the boardwalk though, and they have amazing closets like look at this That's a huge closet and the little suitcase the luggage rack now I know what that is But you see how it looks it kind of kind of reminds you of an old-timey, you know carnival boardwalk resort hotel The thing I probably like most is the room is actually very big You know I mean there's plenty of walking space, and it's got a nice little bathroom right here with a separate door There's a Ferris wheel shower, and it's a tubby tub tub though. Let me show you it's like a Tub tub not a walk-in shower, but they do have a free use Disney H2O products I mean not even the fancy resorts actually have that and like I said overall. It's a nice Very nice room and for $90. I mean nobody can complain Inside this gigantic walking closet. They've got a safe where you can put all your prized possessions in Just walk that right up like there got some extra pillows Got some clothes hangers, and like I said this goes way back. Look at this. Oh, what's back here? It's like we're journeying into Narnia. Oh You could definitely spend a night in here The only thing is is there's no lights in the closet, but you can definitely see there's plenty of space in here Look at this. It's kind of hanging out. Somebody can lay down and actually sleep in here, too Like I definitely think it's definitely accommodating What if I just stayed in here until somebody came and checked back in this room? I Know that being a local staying one or two nights is ideal because you know we go on Stacations, but if there are people that come down here and visit and they actually go on like full weekly vacations You can also buy DVC through the world of DVC, and they actually have a DVC resale market I'll put the link in there and like tonight this room was nine points So if you bought a hundred point membership, you could stay ten nights at the boardwalk You know what I mean? Like that's crazy And it would cost about the same amount of money as one week's vacation that you can just use for years and years So I mean it definitely has its added benefits. I can say I Definitely think we need to see what is on this bed here gonna move the chair out of the way. Let me see here Oh, I don't know how this works really Oh, oh, there it goes. Oh, hold on. Oh, that's sliding off catch that catch that by the bing-ba-da boom Oh, oh, it's a sleeping dumbo. Oh, that was a little loud. Oh, look at that a nice little sleeping dumbo Well Studios also come equipped with all the fancy necessities like a toaster a microwave Paper towels. This looks like some silverware. Oh, look at this an actual can opener, too You don't have to buy that no French vanilla creamer though only the original stuff don't got time for that Look at all that very cool tons of different silverwares that you need put them right back up there Then we got the dishes the cups all of it. What's down here? Recycle I'm not gonna go too much into doing a room tour. It's just your basic standard studio But let me know what you guys think and like I said they are scheduled for a refurbishment So they're gonna get an updated fresh look soon and I cannot wait to see what that's like I'm gonna definitely come back for that and now I'm gonna head down to the boardwalk itself get something to eat And then go swimming After we get something to eat I'm excited to come back out here to the pool like I said they have a carnival theme pool here and they have the leaping horse Libations right here. It's like a little bar area and then an awesome water slide over there And it's just really cool and we'll hang out go swimming go down the water slide and just enjoy a little bit The boardwalk is definitely going through some changes and it has been going through some changes that Slide the water slide at the pool used to be a clown slide and the boardwalk deli is new and there's gonna be some new eateries Coming up very soon, and I have mentioned the room refurbishment So we're gonna be here trying to cover it all but it's really amazing how it's still kind of like perfect the way that it is I kind of love it. It doesn't even seem like there's a lot changing The boardwalk deli has been open for I think just about a month now and I've been waiting to come out and check it out They have a whole bunch of new sandwiches and stuff and since I'm staying here tonight. It seems like the perfect opportunity to The nightlife at the boardwalk is really where it's at. I mean they have the abracadab bar They have jelly rolls the Atlantic dance hall lots of fun things happening and just on the boardwalk itself We'll try to experience some of that a little bit later on and like right now. I'm just really really hungry So that's why I said boardwalk deli it is And here it is boardwalk deli. We're rolling in dough come on in Deli fountain resort mug refills I'm so excited. I mean, I like the food that they had here before but I hear they've definitely stepped up their game a little bit Looks like they got some nice baked goods like banana bread and blueberry scones But what you're coming here for is the deli you gotta gets the meats They've got a chicken salad wrap right here And then they've got a roasted chicken sandwich and a warm pastrami Ruben I think I'm gonna get that too. Look at that nice looks good. I like the rye bread there They also have Italian sub too. There's a lot of good stuff and I like how they get the meats in there It's just like a regular deli When you order a sandwich that give you a choice of a side in between chips and soup So I ended up getting myself some fancy tomato soup But here it is. We got ourselves a little tomato soup and then the hot pastrami Look at this. This actually smells amazing. I cannot wait to dive into this. Oh my lord. Look at that Ruben Oh, this is gonna be so good. This is the rye bread. Oh, I'm a sucker for rye. I Also picked this shirt out today because I was at the boardwalk and it kind of reminds me of like those boardwalk Signs but it's all Pixar characters. Look you got Eve. You got Rami over there That's really cool shirt. Very nice Roosevelt. But all right. Here we go. I'm gonna dive into this sandwich here It's massive. Holy moly. This is a big sandwich. I'm gonna pull it apart here. Holy moly. All right Here we go one bite. We're going in That pastrami is on point a very meaty sandwich and now we're gonna check out this tomato soup I'm not the biggest fan of tomato soup, but I figured why not? Let's give it a go. It's always good Soup is good with soup. I mean soup is good with sandwiches Very oh, sorry. I was gonna say creamy, but it's a little bit chunky A little bit chunky chunky Gonna have to give it the good soup test Good soup And just in case you're feeling fancy, you need to do a little dipity dip just like that The good old soup sandwich combo Oh Something else I had to get while we were in the boardwalk deli the warm mickey cinnamon roll. Look at this It looks so amazing, doesn't it? I mean, I love all the icing Then at first I thought that like it was just the two ears on the top and it wasn't connected But it is it's all connected Look at the backside the backside of that hidden mickey I had to get it. It's so good and it's warm and toasty and I cannot wait to try it And of course just like any other mickey shaped food item you have to go ears first. So here we go Why? Hmm That is so amazing. I love it Honestly, one of the best cinnamon rolls I had at disney now Gaston's is pretty high up there for me, but I love this. It is so good And maybe it's just because it's mickey shaped. I can't get influenced pretty easy I'm gonna have no problem eating all of this and it's like a breakfast food, but I don't care. I'm all about it The center of the mickey has popped out The center is always the best part of a cinnamon roll, but it literally just popped right out there It was so good though. This was definitely Probably better than the bistrami sandwich. I mean that was good, but I'm all about the cinnamon roll life Now that the cinnamon roll business is taking care of I say we head back up to the room switch over to our swimwear Grab the gopro and go swimming go down the water slide I feel like that's a good time before it starts raining because it does look like it's a little bit stormy out All right, we're all switched over and I brought my gopro So I plan on filming as we go down the water slide over here Now this one probably isn't as bad as the grand fluridians one But uh, yeah, it's gonna be fun and you might hear a little bit audio difference because we're switching cameras to the gopro But I'm excited and then coming out maybe grabbing a drink at the uh little leaping horse libations All right, I'm all switched over into my swimming suit and I got my captain america swim trunks on and I'm ready to go I'm so excited for this slide. It looks so cool Like I said before this used to be a big gigantic clown and you come out of the clown's mouth But look at it now It's so fun and you'll go all the way up top there and I like mickey and mini in there It's gonna be a fun slide Here is my captain america swim attire from roosevelt's and also I want to show you guys my tan lines coming from the crocs Look at this That's crazy isn't it from the lines on the crocs. It just blows my mind. I have to show it every time I'm trying to get it really good All right, here we are on top of the water side about to head down and just look at this view. I'm gonna show you a little bit This is gonna be so much fun. Look at this Lots of spinning right here Oh boy, I don't know if I'm ready. I mean it's giving me the green for go. So it might as well go on in All right, we're doing it. Here we go A little nervous. Look at these jets right here All right Okay, I'm going for it. Oh god. It's cold. It's very cold. All right Whoa, holy moly. Oh, ah, no, no, no too fast too fast. No, no, no, no, no Oh, we're spinning we're spinning. We're spinning. Huh a backwards smoke. No, no I love my glasses My hero a hero found my glasses. Look at this guy. What a champion Oh Yeah, I was like, oh my lord I can't believe I lost my glasses on that slide and someone actually found them for me. So thank you so much fox He actually came through clutch there because I would have been blind I mean that would have been the end of the video I couldn't I can't see without my glasses and that would have been such a sad thing But I'm ready to go back on the slide That was such a fun slide now I think I'm gonna do it POV so facing me so you guys can see my expression as I go down the slide Hopefully don't lose my glasses. I'm gonna hold on to him like this this time But let's take a second to appreciate how beautiful this sunset is actually Right now look at this Wow, it's gorgeous out The boardwalk is such a pretty spot All right, here we go. I'm gonna hold on to my glasses this time. Oh boy Facing me Split too fast too fast All right, we're fine. Oh my back. I don't want slides. I don't like water slides anymore That was so cool and now it kind of looks like we got the pool to ourselves there Look at there's really in nobody out here. So you get to actually show it off a little bit better I love it out here. It's so pretty. Definitely one of the best pools. I feel like let me know what you guys think though All right, I think I am done with the pool time to head back upstairs Get dressed and head back down to the boardwalk. See what some of the night life is like maybe catch a sunset Now that we're all dried off and back in our play clothes. Look at this They're actually having s'mores right in the middle hub here and probably movie under the stars Right over there. You see they got the screen all set up But I do love me some s'mores and it's free I Love this smell of fire like actually roasting marshmallows is so cool And they do this at every resort and the marshmallows are free if you want like grand crackers and chocolate You have to pay a little bit extra, but I think it's such a cool thing And it looks like the night life is starting to pop off here at the boardwalk I love this time of the day where it's still daylight on the lights are coming on It's so pretty especially here and those big neon lights like here at the flying fish I think the first stop is definitely going to be at the abracadabra for maybe an enchanting elixir Honestly, I love hanging out at this bar. It's so cool And I wouldn't mind fancying myself maybe a nice little old fashion Hang out outside here. Maybe if we can and just watch people people watch on the boardwalk, you know Here is a look at the menu here and I'm thinking I'm going to get the parlor trick It's kind of like an old fashion. It's four roses bourbon and simple syrup with a splash of soda water But they have some really cool drinks and it's all magician themed like I've had the pepper's ghost or the Magic hat and they're all really amazing and some of them do magic tricks too This is such a fun bar, but I'm really loving the view right now Just like hanging out here and just watching the sunset happening, especially with those lights And here's the parlor trick. Hopefully it does a trick here Good evening friends I'd give anything to be there with you But this seems to be one of those times I'm tied down here at the studio night and day Well, it came about when my daughters were very young and my Saturday was always a daddy's day with the two daughters So we'd start out and try to go someplace with, you know, different things and I Take them to the merry-go-round and I took them different places and As I'd sit there while they uh, they rode the merry-go-round did all these things Sit on a bench and eating peanuts I felt that there should be something built some kind of a Newsman enterprise built where the parents and the children Could have fun together I feel like maybe I should head inside. It was cool kind of people watching but now I'm I'm getting a little wet The table's getting a little wet Here is a quick look on the inside of the abracadabra It's a little bit busy in here, so I can't show you much But I love all the decoration and it's all like magician themed. It's a really cool lounge. It's a little tiny though But probably my favorite thing is the floors. Look at that. Aren't the floors so cool looking? One of my favorite things inside the abracadabra is this little paper right here the boardwalk bugle Missing magician secret hideout revealed and then look it down here It actually says the flying fish on of crescent lake speaking of the restaurant flying fish Let's see if we can get maybe a dining reservation And would you look at that? It seems I was able to actually obtain a dining reservation At the flying fish. This is one of my favorite restaurants And I think it has my number two favorite steak in all of Walt Disney World I'm pretty sure the charred new york strip hit the second Tier there for me was number two spot, but uh, it's really really good And uh, since we're staying here might as well have a little late dinner I think it's safe to say this is the brightest spot on the whole of boardwalk And uh, I'm happy that we got a reservation now. This is some high-class stuff right here I mean the service is impeccable very impeccable and it stay and it actually shares Kind of the space with the abracadab bar. So when we go in I'll show you guys real quick You can actually see oh, well, thank you very fancy. You can see right there abracadab bar I was able to get a dining reservation But I've decided to sit at the bar because that's basically first come first serve and since it's going to be a party of one I'd rather someone else be able to sit at the table and a server actually being able to have a couple there You know what I mean and you get the full menu at the bar And I should have thought of that because I probably would have came in at the bar here Instead of over at abracadab bar, but I guess uh, maybe we'll just double do it This restaurant is so amazing. It's so beautiful in here And the bar is actually one of the coolest looking bars I think I've ever sat at like look at this here. Look at all the bottles up here It's looking real fancy and this is our spot right here right next to the kitchen there And they got an open kitchen. It's really really cool And they even got little uh, hat hooks back here little purse hooks so we can put our hats there Here is a look at the menu here And like I said, I'm always here for that char trust at New York strip and it comes with that potato grotton It's 56 dollars, but it's my number two I can't go you know what I mean if it was anything if it was a ribeye I'm pretty sure it would be my number one because I love the ribeye You know what I mean, but this is such a phenomenal steak and I'm definitely going with it today Another cool thing. They have fish silverware And I'm I'm saying that with all honesty because they are like little tiny fishes. Look at this So fancy I might actually have to put them in my purse. They might be coming home with me. No, I'm only kidding. No Along with our char crust at New York strip We're getting the bread service and this is complimentary and they make the butter in house And they actually outsource the bread from a local place over on the east end market and look at this bread. Oh wow It's so amazing. This place is such a highly rated restaurant. Let me tell you something like this is almost as signature as california grill If it's not even more signature than california grill in my opinion I am all about this bread right here and the lighting in here is phenomenal But look at this and of course we got to try some of the house made butter, you know Look at house made butter and bread locally sourced from this area You can't go wrong That's good bread seriously look at this fish fork I love it. I literally I love the fish fork and like the little scalies on the knife Oh much too good So I have to tell you guys something that's really amazing about this restaurant The name flying fish is actually Comes from a roller coaster that was at luna park one time and now that roller coaster is at canobals In eliesburg pennsylvania that I used to go to and I just went to but it's called flying turns It's the trackless roller coaster and the roller coasters itself actually have a flying fish one And then all of the stations in the kitchen are named after each car So how crazy is that a disney canobals connection? small world Honestly, I really love sitting at the bar here. I think anytime now that I come here I think I'm not always going to sit at the bar. I love the lights and just the atmosphere bill Is such a great bartender It's just really cool in it and you can get the full menu that even like I said You can give it the bread service here and it's probably a lot easier to sit at the bar than it is to find reservations And take a look at this the steak has arrived Look at that char on that steak. This is unbelievable. Look at this Oh my lord This is why this is one of my favorite steaks on property And it's a newer strip and you guys know i'm a big ribeye guy So if this was a ribeye, this would probably be my number one Selection and then this potato over here is so good. Look at that Oh, wow Also, it has a bolognese sauce too, but and I asked for it on the side this time to show you But it this steak doesn't need it. I mean, this is just adding to it. But this steak is so phenomenal I'm gonna cut into it now and show you guys what I'm talking about, but It's much too good. I'm gonna take a little piece just a corner piece Look at this I can see the chart. I love the chart You can't go wrong with that Look at that trying to zoom in on that not me Oh, no, it's not working Oh any second up any second There it is. Look at that This is the stuff Honestly this steak right now Might be the best steak I've ever had in my life Like when I walked in I got to talk to the chefs and they were talking about how much I enjoyed my last visit here And they just f-ed up another level. I mean, look at it Literally just look at this steak right now and tell me it's not phenomenal I'm gonna cut just a little bit on the inside so you can see it Look at that Oh my lord This is everything I love about a steak right now I'm gonna be dreaming about this after I leave here I Didn't even get into the potato yet. Look at this. So watch this crunch We call it our potato stack. It's a plan of potato gratin 13 layers of potato 13 layers 20 layers We can press that you just drop in the fire That's crazy. Yep. Amazing Ha Like I don't even like potatoes gratin that much. It's what this is just on another level 13 layers right there. Look at that Wow Phenomenal I tried a couple of different sauces with this steak And we have a truffle sauce right over here and then the bernie sauce This usually just comes with it and then the cassis right here and I have to say this was by far The most amazing thing to compliment the steak. So if you come ask for the corcis and you're gonna love it Like look at this I'm like Cutting this up in little tiny pieces because I want to savor it as much as I can That was such an amazing meal. I love flying fish. I mean everybody knows that but tonight The team really hit it out of the park. It was so good. And I also ran into Joshi Your mom and dad and I wanted to say thanks for watching the videos. I know I sent you a video For fourth of july, but I wanted to say hi again, and I hope you're having a good night So thanks so much joshie. And now I figured we uh, probably just make our way back up to the room now I mean good meal. I feel like I can call it a night But seriously, I do have to say I really do love the lobby here at disney's boardwalk resort It is so amazing. I haven't seen this uh carousel go off in a while though I don't know if they have like a little button in the back there But sometimes it actually like lights up and then starts spinning around. I wonder if the dvc people control it I wonder if they have a button back here Snoop around a little bit See what's going on here. They do have some sanitizer though Don't mind if I do A lot of people always talk about these chairs in the boardwalk lobby. These are nanny chairs. These are actually in Uh, a carousel like uh during the 19th century They had carousels and while the kids were actually on the horses and the lions This is where the nannies would actually sit. Isn't that kind of cool? It's kind of creepy though, but they are really really kind of like a Cool thing here at the boardwalk. Everyone loves them. I mean, can you imagine if you actually own one of them? Look at the feet. They actually even have feet like feet feet And they paint the toenails too And with that, I think we are done here tonight I think i'm gonna hit the sack and go to bed and wake up and enjoy a nice boardwalk sunrise I'm probably not gonna film and I just kind of want to relax and enjoy my morning But uh, it was a lot of fun hanging out today Like I said, it was really amazing to be able to come here The room was only 90 dollars like that's so awesome And I love that I get to show you guys a lot about renting dvc points because it's something I really believe in So i'm glad that I partnered up with the world dvc And the dvc rental store and even the dvc resale market. I have all of their links in the description I want to find the best people to connect you with and most of them are all Like former cast members who just branch down on their own So it's a really trustworthy company And it's cool that I get these opportunities to show you guys these awesome rooms and amazing deals And just kind of pass on on now. You know what I mean? It's honestly, I I generally do enjoy helping people Plan their vacations and make the most of it too because it's something I wish I kind of had I I I didn't know anything about it. You know what I mean when I started vacationing here So I just generally enjoy that so I hope you guys enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it and uh We'll see you next time Bye
