We are thinking of staying on property for a June vacation and right now are between Boardwalk and Beach Club (one bedroom villas). Since it will be so hot and presumably crowded we are planning on taking swim breaks every day so I am looking for a fun pool.
Stormalong Bay looks AMAZING but I am worried that I will be on constant red alert with my son in this swim area. He is 8, has autism, is verbal and has tons of energy. He is really bad at waiting for waterslides (he loves them but either cuts or can't stay in line by himself long enough to get a turn), and often doesn't understand that his behavior is bothersome to others (splashing, yelling, etc.)
He is a decent swimmer but not super strong and can get obsessive about things to (ex. having to touch everything in a certain area). Generally he is not bothered by noise but if it's a complete madhouse it could get difficult for him.
I know he would love Stormalong but does it seem like a bad idea to take him there? Should we just go to Boardwalk, which looks like it would be much more relaxing? My husband and I are definitely willing to stay with him in the water or go on slides with him but we do not want to spend our entire "downtime" climbing pirate ships or stopping our son from throwing sand
I would really appreciate hearing from people who have experience at Stormalong or just thoughts on how BCV and BWV compare!
