BWV Rehab-Pool/Pool Bar

[MdmMim]

I recently returned from a visit to the BWV and was talking with a few CM's. When I mentioned my trip this coming January, they told me the main pool and the pool bar were going to be rehabbed in January. They had no idea of the exact date or length of downtime. New TV for the bar, changes in drink menu (so all pool bars serve the same drinks) and other changes.

Thought I'd give anyone going at that time a head's up!

Thanks for the news.

Now, if they would only elaborate on the plans to replace the BWV sofa beds...

Hmmm... We stayed at VWL last January and tried a "Lumberjack" at the pool bar. I would be very disappointed if this disappears off their drink menu! But I somehow can't see a drink called a "Lumberjack" popping up on drink menus at BWV or BCV or any other resort other than WL/VWL. I think part of the fun of trying new resorts is trying one of the signature drinks unique to that particular pool bar.

I really think this "single drink menu" is not a good idea on Disney's part. Part of the charm of having a drink on vacation is having a "Lumberjack" or a "Lapu Lapu" And I think theming the drinks to the resort costs practically nothing and probably increases sales. It loses some of the theming and charm that makes Disney such a complete get away - for what has got to be miniscule savings in variation.

So the entire pool are will be closed? Maybe I need to think about BCV for January instead?

When we stayed there a couple of years ago while the Keister Coaster was down for rehab (the rest of the pool was open) they shuttled people on golf carts over to the BC. That was the only time you could pool hop over there if you were staying at BW.
