Many people are reporting on here that they spoke to Boardwalk employees who told them that guests will be allowed access to SAB at the Yacht & Beach Club while the pool is closed. It'll be a little inconvenient, but you couldn't ask for a better pool than SAB. I don't know if you're familiar with the area, but you can just walk along the boardwalk to get there. The bakery's closure is a bummer (I'm going in January, as well). I've heard that the Bellevue Lounge inside has a variety of pastries, and I'm thinking maybe they'll sell more than usual since the bakery will be closed.
