OKW Quiet Pools During Pool Construction?

[JohnathanS]

I was wondering if anyone knows how having the main pool closed at OKW has impacted the "quietness" of the quiet pools. One of the things I love most about the Southpoint pool is how wonderfully peaceful it is---it's one of my favorite places at Disney!

Thanks!

From what I have seen Southpoint is still fairly quiet. It is Turtle Pond that is getting busier due to construction. I would have to say that is probably because it has the snack bar.

Pools are not that busy yet. We are here now. They have an insert in your check in packet saying you can use the pool at Saratoga Springs. Nice pool with slide. The pontoon boat now is shared with Saratoga not to happy about the change as we miss the intimate quiet rides back from Downtown Disney. Also the seats on the new pontoon are about 12 inches wide very uncomfortable. New hide-a-bed is nice and new mattress on king bed. Earl of sandwich was good and reasonable price $4.95 for any sandwich. Will get back to the boards later. Going to new Osbourne light show and member talk tomorrow. Also visited models at Saratoga last night.

Southpoint is one of my favourite spots too and when I was there last week it was just as good as it usually is! I was out there late afternoon just before dusk and sometimes was alone and at other times had just a few others around.

Maybe Turtle Pond is busier, or maybe I was just fortunate with my timing
