Thanks for replying and posting pics!
I have to say, I just hate the fence. It may be for safety or access purposes but still I think it affects the open look of the GF grounds. I guess they are preparing the pools for the DVC - they may start checking Key Cards.
I think we'll pass on GF this stay. We love staying there esp at SL, but there's too much going on right now.
By constructing a new pool or renovating an existing one, WDW became subject to (Florida state?) laws or regulations that require a fence around the pool. I'm surprised it wasn't required before. Here in Mass., all pools require a fence around them. It's a safety thing, not a DVC thing (though I can imagine this will make it easier for them to check resort cards as they currently do at YC/BC).
