Yacht Club pool

[joyboy]

I am close to making a reservation for September at the Yacht Club. Would like info on the pool area, is it as wonderful as described on the Disney hotel info? Have only stayed at the Wilderness Lodge (2 years in a row) and want to try something new.

Hello! Follow this link to photos and descriptions of all of the pool areas in Stormalong Bay: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2790323 Our three boys (ages 5, 11 and 12) love SAB!

And if you follow the link in my signature to the YC/BC thread, you'll find lots of information regarding both the pool and the resorts. Hope that helps!

It is awesome! Where else can you find a pool with a sand bottom,an area for sand castle-making,a cool slide from a pirate ship,a lazy river, swirling waters, kids water games,a waterfall, and jacuzzis. Not to mention that it is surrounded by an ice cream parlor, a fitness room,arcade,& an outdoor grill & bar. You gotta love it.

The lazy river is an area of Stormalong Bay that has a current that can carry you along. Parts of this area are fairly deep, up to 8 feet, I believe.

Floats can be rented for $3/hour or $10 per day. You can also purchase swimming pool noodles to use or bring some from home. Floats from home are not allowed in Stormalong Bay (some are allowed for very small children with an adult). There are also life jackets available for use, free of charge.

I invite you to check out the information on the link that Pixarmom posted above (you can also get there through my signature, but the first link she posted is just about the pool)

The lazy river area is very small and often times it's crowded. It also has a deep section, as PP pointed out. It is not comparable to the lazy river you'd find at TL or BB. I wouldn't book YC/BC solely for the lazy river, because you will be disappointed. The rest of the pool, however is great. Do keep in mind it's popular one. All the times we've been to BC, it's just as popular at night as it is during the day.

The first pic is the 8 feet deep lazy river.
