Resort Thread Disney's BOARDWALK INN Resort

Does anyone know if it's likely that guests will have access to pools at other resorts (looking at you, Stormalong Bay) during the Jan/Feb 2027 refurbishment of the main pool? Or would we just have to use the quiet pools instead? Never had a pool refurb going on during one of my stays before but this one happens to correspond with my target travel dates. Not that I'm likely to swim much at that time of year anyway lol.

It is possible. We had a stay where the slide was closed off due to some issue on day and we were told we could go to SAB. We had park plans and didn't go, but there were plenty of families that did go. It was not a busy time of year; so that may have been why it was an option.

I'd never say never, but my guess would be no. Stormalong Bay itself was closed for the first 5 months of this year and guests were directed to the 3 quiet pools at Yacht and Beach and were not given access to Boardwalk or any other pools.

I agree with @2xcited2sleep above - it’s highly unlikely that you’ll have access to another resort’s pool, especially SAB. There are two nice quiet pools, one inside the BW Inn courtyard and one on the DVC side next to the Community Hall.

Sorry if this has been addressed already, I only looked through the last few pages of posts.

Are there any updates about what, if anything, is going into the Red River Brewery space and the Dueling Piano bar. I had read the the piano bar closure was delayed, but haven't seen anything recently.

Thanks in advance!
