Now I am really confused...when we were there in October 2001 the parts around the quiet pool were under rehab--when I went back in May this year it seemed done...now it is under wraps again???!!???

Unless I am mistaken.... but I really think it is the quiet pool area that is covered.... I will take another look at ALL my pictures.... but it has to be the quiet pool area that is covered.... not the first section.... before luna pool....

Looking at the pictures you see the low building that is in the quiet pool area, so I am sure it was that section that is under wraps...

Maybe the just did a small part of it while you were there and now they are doing the rest??????

None of the pictures in the first post show work going on in the quiet pool area. In fact, if you look at the eigth picture down, which shows work on the standard views that face the tennis courts and MGM you will see on the left side of the photo (your left as you are facing it) a few of the rooms in the quiet pool area and none have scaffolding. That major scaffolding area is the main "lagoon" view rooms; if you take the boat from BW to MGM those are the rooms you see just as you start the turn towards MGM and see before you go past Luna Park and the Quiet Pool area when you take that trip.

The quiet pool area is done. it is nice to hear the boardwalk area may also be done and that Luna Park may be getting close to done. The lagoon views and part of the standards are obviously now under wraps for work. That means the only major area that has yet to see anything and will likely start when they get done with most of what they are doing now are all the standard views in the front of the building. The quiet pool area was the first major area to be worked on beginning last year and took about 10 months. Work on the BW began last January and thus took 9 months. The Luna Park work began in March and is still going on. Those new areas being renovated likely won't be completed until April or later next year. That likely means that work on the standard in the front of the building will start about then which may explain why standard views for next summer went fast with people making ressies at the 11 month window -- there just won't be that many available for use next summer.

Looking at pictures 7 and 8, there is a large pillar area on top of the building. I have often looked at the area and wondered if anything was on top of the roof. During one trip, I thought I saw a wedding party up there. I may have been delirous after too many trips up and down TOT though

Does anyone know about this area?????

I once stumbled upon the 5th floor reception area near Jellyrolls, too.

just curious, if the quiet pool area is supposedly done....
so the little low building in pictures 8 and 9 is not the Community Hall?

okay, i think i can answer my own question but just want to verify.
so all the pics except 3 and 4 show the area behind Jellyrolls, right?
and pics 3 and 4 show the std-view section facing the tennis courts?

oh just wanted to add that i'm counting the pics starting from the boatride ones showing scaffolding.

I want to thank every one posting on this thread. Laura, great pictures! We're heading down on Nov 2 and have a standard view 2 bedroom booked. I imagine since they will be working on the standard views while we are there that of course will mean an automatic upgrade to a Boardwalk view. Of course, they would just HAVE to do that.


Hey, a fella can dream, can't he?
