Has anyone seen data as to how many resort view 1BRs are currently in DVC inventory? Was the most recent declaration in March? Trying to make myself feel better about releasing a night that I already had and now needing it back because JetBlue cancelled our flight and moved us to the next day... Was really hoping to avoid the waitlist & stalk game this trip, but here we are...

There were 4 dedicated One Bedroom villas in the initial declaration, plus 10 lockoffs.

Wonderful news to report from the VGF facebook page. This morning they began wrist-banding the pool. I wasn’t there, I’m sharing someone else’s information. The cast members came around to each person with a Mobil magic band scanner. When asked, the cast member said this is a permanent change. Let’s hope that’s true, and that Poly is next. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Epic Universe opened yesterday

Is this the demise of DVC pool hopping? I know it's been suspended for a while, or was this just a check for DVCness at all?

Things may have changed (or could change in the future) but our experience was Bell Services at the main building. There isn’t any place for them to store them at the tower (as far as I could tell).

When leaving, bell services picked us up and drove us (via their golf cart) to the GCH front so we could catch our Uber.

There is a Bell Services spot somewhere at the Tower. On our departure day a CM in the Tower lobby took our bags to that Bell Services and noted the time we needed them to be in front of GCH. Unfortunately they were not transferred over when requested so the GCH Bell Services person had to walk over to the Tower to get ours.

This happened during the Memorial Day holiday weekend not sure if it is still happening though.

There is a thread that is discussing the extra pool checks https://www.disboards.com/threads/n...share-wristband-experiences-by-resort.3968125

This was a check to prevent the pools from being used by people who were not registered guests of that hotel. But as you noted, pool hopping has not come back since Covid, and I don’t expect it to return.
