Our preference is Beach Club in July 2025 (there will be 7 kids in our extended family party); Stormalong Bay will be closed for refurbishing through May. That could potentially get delayed - no guarantees.
First question - any comments / experience with Disney pool refurbishing schedules? Do they often run over?
Second question - Our agent at Dreams Unlimited suggested we consider booking a second resort for the same dates, then cancelling one as we approach the date. Somehow that sounds risky - would Disney even allow that (tying up multiple rooms knowing half will be cancelled?) What about park reservations / dining? Are they tied to a specific resort and if we cancel that one do we lose our reservations?
Beach Club for us is worth booking and hoping or believing the pool will be done. As opposed to booking a resort we'd rather not be at, only to find out the pool WAS ready in time and be disappointed we aren't at the Beach Club.
Thoughts, anyone?
Thank you!
