Life Jackets at DVC Resorts

[disynut]

We are heading to "a" DVC resort in May(I'm currently booked for 3 of our 4 nights at BWV but am waitlisted at all of the others for all 4 nights because we'd rather not have to move). I seem to remember that there were life jackets available at BCV, but I don't remember seeing them at OKW. Since I'm not sure which one we'll be at, does anyone know which ones provide them, or if they all do? I'd rather not pack my ds's bulky vest if I don't have to, but it does make the whole pool experience a lot easier on us to have it!

TIA,
Jennifer

OKW has them but they are for the people renting boats, and they also put a vest on small children on the boat ride down to DD. They would not be any good for use to swim with, they are made of a hard material. The pools are 5 feet deep at the deepest end. I don't know if that helps

OKW most definitely does have swimming vests. You can get them at Hank's, and they are free. I think you can get one for the duration of your trip, although I may be wrong about that part. Also, Stormalong Bay at BCV has them too, so I'll bet all of the resorts have them.

We took our granddaughter to OKW back when she was 4. She was a little skittish about being in the pool, and just wanted to sit on the steps at the edge. Once she realized she wouldn't sink, she had an absolute ball.
