Beach Club SAB Pool

If you can get a BW view, and are planning on spending a decent amount of time out on the balcony, I promise you there's nothing better. I love BCV, but the room views there are mediocre at best.

I'm sort of targeting that at the moment - my dates are currently open. Fingers crossed they stay open until the 7-month window opens! If not, I may book pool/garden and waitlist the BW view.

Checking in from Day 2 of our BCV stay— we haven’t actually used SAB yet, did Blizzard Beach yesterday and skipping pools today…. But I walked by on the outside at 2:30PM on the way home from the friendship boat dock as slowed down to look at level of crowds— it was very very busy but I could see at least 6-10 open lounge chairs and the like at hurricane hannahs quick service looked less than 10 people like (might have been less than 5), chairs at the bar itself were taken.

Thanks for the intel - yeah, one wouldn't exactly expect pools at WDW on an August afternoon to be anything other than very busy. But as long as you can find a chair to put your stuff on and for one or two parents to camp out occasionally, that's all you really need.

Here is the reality of all these plans - even booking a one bedroom, your chances of a Boardwalk views room or a BCV or even just any room at BW over Spring Break are just OK - those rooms can move quickly at seven months. So the reality is "book what you can when you can when its available and enjoy what you get." The approach of having a priority list is good - and if you want to try SAB, don't pass on the opportunity based off other people's internet opinions if its available. You can always use the quiet pools if SAB is overwhelming.

Thank you - I do appreciate the reminder about 7-month availability. Fortunately, for this trip, I think I'll be perfectly happy if I end up with OKW or SSR, but I am looking forward to trying for BWV or BCV at 8 am sharp when my 7-month window opens up!

And don't forget that if only OKW or SSR is available to book, you can still set up a WL for BWV and another for BCV, even for a multi-night reservation that's "unlikely" to come through. Magic does happen, and what do you have to lose?
