Welcome back to planDisney, Melissa! I always love chatting with a fellow resident of the Keystone state about the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Melissa, with warm summer-like days and the
Taste of Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, May is a great time to be at the Walt Disney World Resort! If you're planning park time at
EPCOT or at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Beach Club Villas is the perfect place to call "home" during your stay. If you like, you can take a leisurely stroll into both parks from your resort!
Now, Melissa, let's talk about the famous
Stormalong Bay. With a lazy river and three whirlpool spas, this isn't merely a pool, but a water wonderland for the whole family! You are correct that beginning this month, the waterslide will be undergoing a refurbishment. I spoke to a Cast Member at Disney Vacation Club Member Services and as work is just beginning, they were not able to give me a completion date. While I was hoping to have a more definitive answer for you, I will encourage you to keep checking back closer to your vacation. And, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as you'll often see Tinker Bell sprinkling pixie dust over announcements there.
Melissa, I hope you'll come back and see us here at planDisney with this question again closer to your trip OR any other questions you might have. I'll be wishing on a star for you that the waterslide at Stormalong Bay is open and looking better than ever before your arrival. As you continue to think about your upcoming trip, make sure to check out all of the food options at your resort. After a long day splashing and sunbathing, sometimes ice cream as dinner is sweeter than the cherry on top of a sundae. If you're in agreement, head over to
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop where you literally can eat everything in the
kitchen sink.
Thanks again for stopping by planDisney. As Mickey would say... we'll "
see ya real soon!"
