| in a short two words, yes and yes. have never stayed at boardwalk, but usually always stay across the lake at yacht club. you will love the ease of walking to epcot (about 5 mins walk) and hollywood studios (about 10 min walk). i would stay at boardwalk if yc was unavailable. however, it is your choice about the date changes. i personally would not want to miss out on the christmas stuff...i would just be so sad. however, maybe you come every christmas and are ready for a break. 600 bucks is a lot of money, plus you get an extra day. nice perk i think.
