Hey there, Vania! Welcome to planDisney! I'm super stoked that you reached out with a question, and I'm even more thrilled to hear that you're planning a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort. We're totally friends now, right? I mean, I'm practically bouncing with excitement to hear all about your upcoming stay at the amazing
Disney's Port Orleans Resort. Can't wait to hear all about it!
The
Doubloon Lagoon pool opening date has yet to be confirmed, but I think you have a safe margin for when you arrive on May 8th. While there's always a chance that maintenance and renovations could take longer than expected, Disney usually gives guests plenty of notice so Guests can plan around it. Fingers crossed, the pool will be ready for you to enjoy as planned, but we won't know for sure until it actually opens.
Even if there is a delay in the opening date, you can still have a blast at the
Ol' Man Island pool complex, just a short walk away at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. The complex has a lot to offer, such as a swimming hole with rushing waterfalls, a 95-foot waterslide designed like an old mill, a whirlpool spa, a kiddie pool, and even a fishing hole. So, no matter which pool will be open at the time, I'm positive you'll still have a fantastic time!
As I'm about to take off, I wanted to remind you of something super important - snacks are way more essential than pools! And let me tell you, the
Scat Cat's Club Café has got you covered with their mouth-watering Mickey-shaped Beignets. Trust me, it's the highlight of any day, any season, and any time.
Vania, I hope this helps with your trip planning. Please feel free
to write to me directly if you have any follow-up questions. It will be great to talk to you once again.
Cheers
Nilson
