HHI pools question

[veenstra56]

We will be at HHI for the first time this Christmas. I have heard that the pools are heated. My question is: am I crazy to even entertain the thought that we can enjoy the pools this time of year?

Thanks in advance.

We have been there for New Years a few times, and every trip there have been people in the pool! Once you get in the water, it's not bad, it's just the getting out that is tough!

Even this past Thanksgiving, when there were record low temperatures and steam was rising out of the water, there were people in the pool! Far, FAR braver than us!!!

Here's a picture of what Disneyaholic's talking about-

They told us that the pools are constantly heated to 82 degrees. Even though the air temperature was in the low to mid-30s at this time, two girls went in the pool right after I took this picture. Brrrr!

Cool picture!

A constant 82 degrees is definately a big plus. I don't think that my girls would dare jump in with 30-something degree temps, but if we are lucky enough to get 60-65 degrees they might try it.

I was curious if the pools were open all year, guess they are. Is there a pool side bar?

We have been xmas week 5 times. Weather can be 60's or 30's. DS did swim in main pool and beach house pool when it was in the 60's but I just observed on the lounge chair! There is no bar at the main pool. The beach house pool area does have a bar, but I'm not sure if it was open during xmas, but I doubt it.

Bring your own, discreetly of course. And everyone thought the refillable mugs were just for soda!!!

On the upside... there is little to no towel reserving of tables and chairs.
