Surprised we actually made the parks blog. Opens early and with publicity. Strange times! 

I know! Going July 1st and instead of being ecstatic they made the end of June deadline I'm just like...oh...no slide? Really? Hmmph....... and BTW all of us trying to get Cabanas, what a 1st world problem to have lol. Oh please, Disney, please take my money!!!! But once you experience a cabana you just want it again!
First week of July only...we'll have to muddle through somehowSeems like in 2 weeks perhaps the slides might be back? Still a chance you don't get to tell that story years from now!
If there's snow on the path getting to EPCOT in July, I'm going to need pictures....!First week of July only...we'll have to muddle through somehow![]()

Gotta get over it and enjoy the beautiful pool....my kid will just have to deal...it'll make him tougher...he'll tell stories to his grandkids..."you know when I stayed at Beach Club they didn't even HAVE a slide! I had to walk to International Gateway in the snow...uphill...both ways"
EEW! This is the stuff that I have to try really hard to not think about on vacation.Just think of the years (decades?) of sunscreen, sweat, and other buildup on those things.
Morning thoughts to ponder.![]()

Yay!! Time to cancel my Swolphin backup! Glad they didn’t wait on the skid to open the pool complex.
Will be interesting to hear from vets if any old broken features return. I recall reading something about bubbling waters in part of the pool that broke and never got fixed?
I was just wondering the same thing, if the sinking sands & bubbling waters areas are working like they used to. Hopefully someone who remembers how they used to be will let us know.

The sinking sands area is sadly no longer there. I remember it from years ago and asked which pool it was in and was told that they didn’t bring that back.I was just wondering the same thing, if the sinking sands & bubbling waters areas are working like they used to.

it was my understanding that this feature was turned off as the lifeguards had concerns about not being able to see people who were submerged under the bubbles.I recall reading something about bubbling waters in part of the pool that broke and never got fixed?
How long ago was this feature used, as we've been going to Yacht / Beach club for over 10 years and I don't recall seeing it.it was my understanding that this feature was turned off as the lifeguards had concerns about not being able to see people who were submerged under the bubbles.
It's quite a while now. I'd estimate 15+ years ago. To be honest, the one reason I thought they might have done away with it is because if you didn't know the sinking sands area was there, it could really freak you out to have your foot grabbed by the bottom of the pool!!How long ago was this feature used, as we've been going to Yacht / Beach club for over 10 years and I don't recall seeing it.
Do you have a reservation at BC/YC/BCV prior to those dates? 8/19 is beyond the 60 days right now, unless you have a reservation that allows you the entra couple days. If they're already sold out 62/63 days out, it's going to be a very tough get......Struck out on getting a cabana for 8/19 or 8/20. Going to keep calling and hoping for a cancellation but I know it's a longshot.
I called yesterday which was our 60 day mark. We check in on 8/16. I called again this morning but no luck.Do you have a reservation at BC/YC/BCV prior to those dates? 8/19 is beyond the 60 days right now, unless you have a reservation that allows you the entra couple days.
