The main Wilderness Lodge feature pool did not close for the current round of construction. It is still open.
What was formerly the "quiet" pool by the DVC villas was closed and has been replaced with a new, larger pool. It is not yet open. It is suggested it may or should open July 17 when the new Copper Creek Villas open, and it is possible it will open before -- from pictures it looks like it is largely ready to open.
The new pool at BRV will NOT have a slide. All DVC guests at the two Wilderness Lodge properties have always had access to the main pool and splash area.
Here now...they took the "green scene" fence down and reopened the back walkway from the villas. Put new pool loungers in and also new loungers at main pool. Seems that they are very close to opening new pool. Construction seems to be wrapping up.
