BWV Community Hall and an evening back at MK
We left behind a hot and crowded Magic Kingdom and made it back to the Boardwalk around 4pm. We rested for a little bit, and then everyone except James (who continued to rest), went down to the main pool, called “Luna Park Pool” (but better known as the Creepy Clown Pool). I brought the water-resistant camera with me.
Judy and Marlene enjoying the water.
I attempted to squeeze into the picture with them.

I thought I’d document a little more of the resort for you, but I wasn’t about to leave the pool, I’d just do it from here. For example, here’s Leaping Horse Libations, the bar at the Luna Park Pool.
To get your refillable mug filled, you have to give it to the bartender to fill. I like it better at Kidani where the dispenser is on an outer wall for self-filling. That way you don’t have to wait for the bartender to finish making somebody’s drink, and it always seems like such a chore that you’re asking them to do.
A little further to the right is the Clown Slide.
Despite the slide’s creepiness, we gave it a try. Here’s Marlene coming off the slide.
Lauren coming off the slide, but you can’t tell it’s her.
Yep, it was her.
Our time at the pool was refreshing but didn’t last long, as a thunderstorm came through and made us retreat to the room. It was amazing to hear the huge peals of thunder and watch the storm from our room, it was a big’un.
We took the opportunity of being back in the room to heat up some frozen pizza for dinner.
Electronic devices were in full operation. This was obviously not 50’s Prime Time.
Here’s a shot of the Living Room as a Bedroom, with 3 kids living in it who had obviously made themselves very much at home. With an open pull-out couch and a cot wedged in as well, we weren’t going to be doing much entertaining of visitors, but it served the purpose of providing living quarters for our family. It was enough room for us and I’m glad that they permit 5 people in a 1-bedroom suite, with the use of a cot or inflatable mattress.
After the storm passed and dinner was consumed, the kids and I went down to the Community Hall to check it out and to borrow some movies. We took the stairs at the far end of our hallway and when we got to the stairwell Marlene asked, “Up or down”. I said, “Down, unless you want to go up to the roof and hope for a helicopter rescue”.
The quiet pool looked very inviting.
Community Hall is on the left side of that picture. Here’s what it looks like inside.
Here’s another angle. Outside those windows is the patio and pool. On the patio they have ping pong (which it looks like someone is playing in that picture), a pool table, and cornhole.
James and I played a little air hockey.
James pointing out the score, so who do you think won?
He beat me by 1 point, but in my defense, I was taking pictures while playing, which is less than optimal.
The girls tried out the air hockey also.
I wanted to document the stairway that we took since it was a good way to get the quiet pool, and was a shorter way to get to the path to Hollywood Studios. The kids are ahead of me, walking to the stairway.
There was a skink hanging out there, that they wanted me to photograph.
Here’s the Secret Stairway! It’s at the far end of the resort, the end closest to Hollywood Studios.

Oh wait! I think that's the idea
Too bad they can't control the heat. 
Looks like you’ve got a trip in the works – that’s great!
