Oh yeah no that would be awful...and a very realistic possibility. Especially with us trying to lug our 1 year old over there only to find it maxed out. Our never ending saga finding a place to stay continues!
Haha obviously! I guess I just mean getting him all ready for the pool (sunscreen, swim diaper, bathing suit) and clothes to change him into for the walk back...plus making sure not to forget anything because you can't just run back to your room...well you can but whoever has to would not be pleased...if we were staying at BWV I would just wrap him in a towel and walk to the room to do all the changing. It just adds a few extra steps...not the end of the world but not the most ideal either!
I’m with you.... BCV booked first .... moved to BWV after SAB announcement .... sharing a pool with two resorts sounds really crowded with no parks.... I find it funny that Disney is saying I can’t even resort hop for quick service but because it’s convenient for them they can keep SAB closed and put BCV and BWV at the same pool. I’m sure they have their reasons for closing but staffing shouldn’t be the issue they have lifeguards from two water parks that are unemployed.
We can't resort hop for quick service?
I have spoken with two DVC member services supervisors that said you cannot. I also called Disney and they confirmed. However, I have seen a report that someone else was told by member services that you could. I've kept my reservation at Boardwalk even with the shared pool because of this. Changes can be made to the new plans at anytime so I guess we will see what happens. I sent emails to member services about this and the BWV BCV pool situation.
This makes a difference. I almost booked a monorail resort to resort hop for food options and why I would not stay at Boardwalk. I am irritated Hurricane Hanas will not be open leaving only BC marketplace.
Beaches N Cream will be too small to have in restaurant dining. It is tiny.
I know they expanded it but not sure by how much nor how many it will now seat with social distancing
I think some guests place a lot of pressure on CMs to give them the answer they want to hear, or simply choose to remember from their conversation with CMs the answer they wanted to hear. At this point, if you have to get past a guard shack at a hotel where you don't have a hotel or restaurant reservation in the system, I would assume that you will be turned away. I'm sure the guards will be afflicted by many other guests trying to get into the resort without having a reservation, but we can each choose not to be part of the problem and thereby give the CM a break.
Yes, some have said no way they can police this, but in the first few weeks it should be easy. Only bus transportation to and from Disney Springs. Someone could easily scan your Magic Band as you enter the resort. Maybe they will maybe not, but I will be making dining reservations at any resort I wish to visit. I do hope they let me walk to Beaches and Cream for ice cream since people will be walking back and forth between BWV and BCV for pool use.
I did not realize this. Great news!
