Something is happening near the pool!!!

[Tri-circle-D]

Yes . . . those are frying pans. There is a tree branch with a bird's nest (and eggs), plenty of spray nozzles, some wheels which may control valves (or may just be decore) and lots of little doohickies for the kids to play with.

We'll be here until Monday so I'll post a few more pictures if time permits.

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of doohickeys, thing-a-ma-bobs, gadgets, gizmo's, whose-its and whats-its they are putting on this play area. A bird's nest? With eggs? Frying pans? Really? How nice for the kids!

If you get a chance, tell us what is going on it the fenced in area in front of the pool (where the two big white pipes were sticking out over the past weekend).

I agree with you. However, I took a course to become a certified pool and spa operator a few years ago. In fact it was the same gentleman that certified Disney personnel at the time. What warm/hot water does to kids, does the same to adults, whether they are conscious of it or not. Therefore spas/hot tubs need more sanitizing than a pool (where the same thing happens along with believe it or not sweating). I only point these things out so as to discourage use of the new pool and spa, so that I might have it all to myself!!!!!

While having the same effect..I can only hope that an adult would have a bit more control,( and hopefully the good sense) to leave the hot tub to use a rest room. Where as in the case of young children, that control is not in place..and well, you know...
I also wish they would place an age requirement on resort hot tubs. It should be a place where adults can sit and relax without little ones doing cannon balls. Although it would be difficult to enforce. Sort of like having designated pet loops.

Thanks for the updated photos! Good to see progress being made.

I'm a bit disappointed..while as some of you have pointed out... there are plenty of gadgets...the structure itself looks a little sparse(at least to me). I know they will likely be adding slides, but it doesn't compare to the splash zone at the CBR.
That being said, I'm sure the little ones will just love it!​

I am patiently waiting for more splash zone pics!! Any new news today????

Gee . . . I'm sorry guys! We spent the entire day at Hollywood Studios enjoying the 20th Anniversary celebrations there.

We did go down tonight for a quick swim and noticed that two small water slides have appeared beside that doohickey structure with all the spray jets.

We're at Studios again all day tomorrow, but I'll try to get some pics early tomorrow morning and post them before we leave.

(WOW . . . suddenly I'm under so much pressure!)

OK, we will let you slide this time, only because you went to the parks, but don't let it happen again Hope your having a good time.

Yup . . . a great time . . . back to Studios for the entire day today.

Here are a few pics from this morning. The slides are propped up temporarily and will end up at the front of the structure. Note the new roof trusses which will cover the pumps and filters.

No idea what those big white pipes will hold, maybe support for a canopy of some kind?

Another great job CDNCruiser! They have already made a lot of progress on the building addition.

In studying these new photos, I am confused.

I took this photo on 4/24:

And CDNCruiser took this photo on 5/2 (8 days later):

To me, it looks like the concrete deck that had been poured around the oval drain has disappeared. This is confusing me?

Am I missing something?

Good eye TCD! Looks like they cut it, and took some out. There are rebars sticking out the sides too. Who knows what they are doing. If you look at your pictures there are pipes sticking up on both ends, at the "bottom" end of where the slides are going, wonder if there is more to come?

Nice work CDNcruiser, keep us all posted, and make sure you have fun too!

 

[fldisneymommyto2]

Thanks for taking the time to give the updates!!!

 

[nikkipowell1]

Great pictures. Hope there done in 25 days. Looks like its gonna cut it close.

 

[shoreline99]

Wow! so much in less than a month! Have to start planning the next trip to check it all out...

 

[GOBA Mom Lynn]

I have a question for those who have been there before the renovations.

When we were just there, I noticed that behind the fences behind where the water tower is now, there is a playground and picnic tables. Was there a fence between that area and the pool area before? It looked like a really nice place to go. Shady Unfortunately it's unaccessible now. Do you think they are going to put up fences behind the new splash area, or just more shrubbery ?

I was just curious. We've only been there once, so was trying to get an idea of what the whole area looked like before, and what it might look like finished in the future.

No changes at the pool today! No workers there on Sunday!

The reinforcing mesh (1/4" steel in a 6" grid) is down for the rest of the concrete pad, so it will probably be poured soon. You can see the forms for the concrete in my first picture from yesterday morning.

We're pulling out first thing in the morning and heading for Canada. We take I-4 to I-95 to I-26 to I-77 to I-81 and I-81 takes us all the way to Canada. It's a 1,400 mile trip. We live 25 miles from the border crossing. Our overnights will be at Walterboro, SC on Monday, Wytheville, VA on Tuesday, Harrisburg, PA on Wednesday and Thursday we'll be home.

So who's gonna take pictures of the pool now?

Hmmm, does the water still get warmer? That's the only way I can tell.

I don't know about warmer...but definitely saltier!!

They should rename these attractions: "ool" & "sa" so we can be guaranteed there is no "p"!!!

 

[mrsscooter]

All of these pictures are great...........my kids are so excited that the big pool is finished and the splach zone is in progress. They are 7 and soon to be 9 and worried they are too big to use the splash area...anyone have any idea on the age restrictions for it?
