My brother in law took this yesterday.

Thanks for the pictures. I'm certainly glad I'm not paying $700 per night to stay here during the construction.

Our reservation at YC starts on July 25. Praying that if they are running behind they let people know in time to change the reservation.

I wonder what the occupancy rates are during the SAB refurb?

My parents arrived Sunday, they go this week every year, and noticed zero difference.

Several years ago we were at BWV while SAB was being refurbished.
They had CMs shuttle Y and B guest to BW pool.
This was at Easter time so BW was already crowded.
I witnessed a couple of YC guests arguing with lifeguard demanding to know why there was not a a reserved area for YC guests!
Not sure if they will allow Y any B quests to pool hop this time

No reports of that happening this time.

I doubt it will happen this year since Disney announced SAB being closed for this refurbishment early last year. It is not a surprise to anyone not living under a rock.

They’ve also been sending out emails to guests who book a reservation for the affected time period making sure they are aware.

Really hope they stock to their timeline and it's open again in July. Walking past it at night a few weeks ago was eerie as usually there are so many lights on and the pool is always hopping even late night.

That is what I am afraid of!

SAB has been closed awhile. WDW has said the quiet pools at Yacht and Beach are available.

There has been absolutely no mention of allowing the use of Boardwalk pools.

That makes more sense. Otherwise, BW pool would be overrun.

It was that time

Some people on FB, in an Y&B Club Group, are reporting they were allowed to use the BW pool during construction and a couple of posters claimed they were taken over to BW on a golf cart. Some replied they were told No when they asked. Obviously, there’s no proof of this other than their posts, but thought I’d share.

That's understandable. But everyone staying there now should have been aware when they booked. This project was announced over a year in advance as I recall.

Thank you for the information! I was able to book with a 25% off rate which I didn't think was to bad. Do you think I will still enjoy the resort? I'm there on a solo trip and prefer the quiet pools anyway. Doing a split stay as I have a conference at CS and wanted to try somewhere else. Do you think I should have booked something else?
