Animal Kingdom Lodge Pool & Bar Refurb
Just received the following email from The Walt Disney Travel Company stating they are "Reimagining the Uzima Springs Pool and the Uzima Springs Pool Bar during your stay"
We're staying at AKL during Sept 2018, has anybody else received this email? To close the main pool is devastating! Can they do this? We're going in 5 months, so it's not like we can save extra to change resorts now!

The same is happening at CS. From what I’ve read on here (there is a thread about it) some people have been able to move resorts. I’d contact whoever you booked with and see what they say.

We've booked direct with Disney, will have to give them a call I guess. If anybody else has contacted them already I'd be curious to what they've said!

The Kidani pool is lovely but a fair bit smaller than the Jambo house one. if I was at Jambo house I’d be very unhappy with the pool closed.

That's what I thought / read. We watched Tim Tracker's resort tour and it's not exactly a few minute walk either.

Just had the same email too!
I’m absolutely gutted as it’s our first time on site! Following with interest to see what Disney say - no option to cancel as our flights are all sorted! I doubt there will be much space elsewhere after the SSR allocation mistakes |

Same here - by the sounds of things the pool is going to be closed for quite some time!

I've sent Disney an email asking for options, we're certainly not prepared to stay at AKL with the pool and bar closed, so we'll wait and see. At the very least I would want the option of a full refund of deposit, but it would be nice if an alternative deluxe resort was available for the same price, probably wishful thinking though.
I'll be watching the threads to see what people are offered, to see what "precedent" is set. |
