We stayed here in Dec. 2007 and only one of the pool areas was open. Kind of a drag, since we had wonderful weather, and our room was on the opposite end of the hotel. There were only 2 other families at the character breakfast so we got a LOT of time with Diego, Dora, and Blue. (DD &DS do not watch/like Sponge Bob). I think they had some crafts and other things going on, but we didn't do any of them - just the pool area , which was great!
