This is similar to our plan. We live in NE Alabama (9ish hour drive) so we plan to drive down to probably Gainesville or Ocala, stop for the night and drive into WDW the next morning. Swing by the hotel to check in and then spending late morning/afternoon at a water park. We already had Sat - Sat booked so just bumping up our drive by a day to take advantage and split the drive up.
Same! As do public hot tubs (I was a health inspector in a resort town for a summer and had to do pool/hot tub inspections - yuck!). I will use a Disney resort pool, they are very good about checking water quality. They hire specific CM's to monitor pool chemical levels (or whatever is used in the water). I do prefer the less crowded quiet pools! But still a no on public hot tubs.
Absolutely nothing. They do nothing.
The terms and conditions from the website say there is no replacement but we don’t have actual experience reported yet so I’m waiting for that. Sometimes Disney holds to their T&Cs but often times they make adjustments for folks (like extending cancellations or allowing early check-outs in extenuating circumstances, or when a holiday party goes horribly awry and they offer people recovery tickets).
I take it you’ve seen actual reports from people who experienced a closed water park on their check-in day and asked Disney if they were offering alternatives? Or are you just parroting the terms and conditions?
I didn't ask, but I checked in on a day waterparks were closed and nothing was communicated to us at check in about a replacement.
I saw on wdwmagic that it closed for the day on January 4th due to low temps.
In addition to closing on Saturday, January 4th expect BB to close multiple (2-3) times in the next 7 days.
