Disney Vacation Club Member Services advisers have begun informing members of a scheduled rehab of the Yacht / Beach Clubs' Stormalong Bay pool complex in early 2009

ccording to DVC reps, the Beach Club Villas' pool will be closed for rehab "January to March 2009." What remains unclear at this time is whether the entire pool will close for that duration, or if the rehab will be completed in phases.

During the last major renovation of Stormalong Bay in 2005, the pool was closed in small sections while the areas not being worked on stayed open. For example, while the pool slide was being rehabbed the lazy river, wading pool and kids pool all remained open to guests. At no time was the entire pool complex completely off limits to resort guests.

Details of this upcoming rehab have not yet been released.

Beginning January 5, 2009, sections of the Stormalong Bay pool area will be refurbished. Since the work will be conducted in phases, unaffected sections of the main pool will remain open for your enjoyment. We expect all work to be completed by late March 2009. The first section, including the Flying Jib slide and pool area, is scheduled to be completed by mid-February. The Flying Jib slide will be unavailable during this section only. The second section, including the lazy river area, is scheduled to be competed by early March. The final section, including the Quiet Lagoon and Stormalong Bay kiddie pool, is scheduled to be refurbished by late March. As the work takes place during daytime hours, you will likely hear and see maintenance staff and equipment.
During the refurbishment period, Dunes Cove pool at Disney’s Beach Club Villas, Tidal pool at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and Admiral pool at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will be available and open for your full enjoyment. In addition, should you wish to have a slide as part of your pool experience, we are making the Luna Park Pool located at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort available for your enjoyment.
