Spoke with one of the rec managers yesterday. He said that the pool showers are supposed to be finished by the end of April but it may also slide a little bit. Expect them for sure by the time folks are taking summer trips. Although with the arcade noise I couldn't hear construction, he said they are working on it every day.
Also, they just changed the pool menu yesterday. I snapped pictures of the whole menu. New to the menu are a buffalo chicken wrap and a turkey Cobb salad (which replaces the chef salad). Going to try that buffalo wrap today I think.
This must be a recent change, as I have been able to order carry-out there from the bartender in the evening, during two separate trips, not all that long ago. It was packed up in a very nice black cardboard box and came complete with plastic utensils and napkins. I ordered from the menu on a table and waited about 20 minutes for the bartender to bring it out from the back.

Well it seems you always get different info from different cast members and I am wondering if it is because the ladies I talked to maybe only worked mornings and weren't aware. Going to ask again today but wait to do it until after noon and see what happens.
For those of you regulars at the Y&B, we met up with Sheryl, one of the long time pool gate people for a light bite after her shift last evening. It was so nice to talk to her in a non-work capacity. We then popped over to Epcot to stroll around World Showcase and see the offerings for Flower and Garden. It was a really nice evening.
One more day here at the world. Planning a relaxing pool day (supposed to be sunny and in the mid-90s today). From what I understand it is near record temps for this time of year. The sun is hot but the humidity is relatively low so it is not as miserable as it is mid summer when the temps are that high.
DH and I are planning to meet up with a chef from Jiko for happy hour this evening who is from South Africa and here on one of the country programs. I met him when I was here last fall with my girlfriends and we have kept in touch. Really looking forward to that.
As mentioned before we are staying at the villas. We had sent in a concern to Disney about the overgrown grasses by the grill area and how concerned we were that things could be hidden in those grasses. Well, it has all been cut back and replanted. Was happy to see that! Will post pictures from our balcony once we depart.
Edit: sorry I wrote this earlier today and never posted it. Back for a quick swim before packing it in. Never did get back over to Yacht Club
