COVID Resort Choice?

[Theactualdisneyprincess]

Hello all

My bachelorette, bridal shower(s), and wedding will likely all be postponed again.

One of my bridesmaids and I were looking to still make a trip to Disney as a mini bachelorette deal. I just really need some Disney magic right now.

That being said, which resort would you recommend staying at for a small group of 2-3 girls doing a mini-bachelorette type of thing? We are looking for more of an active pool (really wanted Beach Club, but Stormalong Bay is closed) and a place that still has some stuff to do in the resort if possible. And also, preferably NOT a skyliner resort because I’m terrified of those things.

Thank you! Have a magical day

Boardwalk?

I would look at BWI or Poly if you are interested in a deluxe. BWI has a great pool bar and you can still access everything available on the Boardwalk, plus you can walk to EP and DHS (or take the boat) and don't need to use the Skyliner if you don't want to. Poly has a fun vibe and a great pool.

Look to rent points to stay at the Polynesian. Beautiful pool, the deluxe studio you can share, walk to the Grand Floridian. They also have a wonderful quiet pool open 24 hours with a jacuzzi. You can also take the boat over to the WIlderness Lodge! Plenty resort fun. Have a wonderful time. Great idea for young people to forget about this crazy time.

It doesn’t seem to be available for the dates.

I’ve stayed at the Poly before and was looking to do something a little less expensive and something new. Especially because we will probably do that for the honeymoon (or for part of it). Have you done the cabins at Wilderness? How are they? Are they pretty far from everything?

Do you mean the Ft Wilderness Cabins or the Cascade Cabins at Wilderness Lodge?

Boardwalk Inn doesn't open until Oct. 1st. The villas side is open now.

I would stay near downtown Disney. This way I could go out for dinner and drinks.

Ft Wilderness Cabins.

The bedroom has a Queen Bed and a Bunk Bed and the living room has a Double-Size Sleeper Sofa. Only one bathroom.

I would stay near downtown Disney. This way I could go out for dinner and drinks.

Both OKW and SSR have boats to Disney Springs (or buses). You can also walk to DS from SSR. You can walk from OKW, too, but the path isn't lit. So you can't walk at night.

Nobody knows for sure, but it is assumed to open when YC/BC open on 8/24.

What about copper creek or boulder ridge? We really enjoyed the pool at WL and liked geyser point a lot

Consider Swan & Dolphin! They have some good deals right now with rates, it’s more adult, great location with ability to walk to two parks, and some serious dining. I believe you can also rent cabanas which is rare at WDW.
