Increased Pool Capacity?

[MouseFiend]

With the social distancing guidelines reduced to 3ft and the pending increase in park capacity, do we know if they are increasing capacity at the resort pools? Anyone there now that can tell us if there are still lines to use certain pools? I’m looking at you Stormalong Bay!

Pictures posted today indicate they have increased capacity at pools (Stormalong Bay specifically). Groups of chairs were no longer 6 ft apart.

Maybe it was just me and my wife that found it amusing, but every time we were at the pool there was never any social distancing. Don't get me wrong, we weren't upset about that, it's just the social distancing guidelines are a little silly in places that are outdoors like pools. But I'm glad to hear they've increased capacity, that would have been extremely frustrating to get turned around because the outdoor pool was at capacity.

Masks still required inside pool gates? Thanks!

Optional (as you are outside).

This link has a nice chart.

I thought I read that they were not required on pool decks (not sure that that is the same as inside pool gates).

Are there still wait lists for pools?

We were there when they increased capacity and decreased distancing. We did not encounter any waits at either GF pool for our trip in May.
