Quick question! How long does it take to walk from the bungalows to Capt. Cook’s?
Lava Poolhaving panic attack here.... Is the pool closed for refurbishment? arriving the 19th and chose this hotel for the pool! it was supposed to be completed before we arrived! anybody?
Some people will tell you it does because they fax your request in. I didn't find it had any affect on my room request. I even wrote a note to add to the fax and I didn't get the one thing I wanted and that was a king size bed. So I don't think it makes any difference in getting the room you want.Does being a member of TP give you an advantage when requesting a certain room? Also, since I’ve never seen this site before, do you recommend buying tickets off this website at a discount vs Disney.com? Thanks.
Thank you! I just tried doing it for my date but it said nothing available. I’ve already booked the room. Hmm. I’ll keep playing with it.
In the past when the lava pool was under construction they allowed you to swim at GF does anyone know if they do that now
That is interesting. If you click on 'request room', it should take you to the Poly longhouse map. From there, you can click on a longhouse, which then gives you the option to click on individual rooms. I hope you can get it to work and get a request sent. I believe you have to have your fax configured at least five days prior to your check-in.
I think I read that kids need to be out by 8pm, but are always allowed out on the terrace.Anyone know What time they stop allowing kids into trader sam’s? Can they still sit out on the patio after that?
Lava Pool
The Lava Pool and waterslide will be unavailable due to routine maintenance. During this time, it is possible that Guests may see or hear construction, but noise should not be heard from Guest rooms between dusk and 9:00am. All dining and merchandise locations will remain in full operation. In addition, Oasis Pool will be available.

I don't understand how they can close one of the main features of the resort. We were planning on using this pool a lot!
Yes but usually they let you know before hand. They started this later than they announcedEverything needs maintenance.

Thanks! We are! So far no problems (knock on wood!). We are the room about 10am e every day & they come by the time we get back.
I bought tickets off the touring plans link to the official ticket center I ended up saving $60. Prices just went up Im so glad I bought mine late last month bc I saved another $60 doing that!
Now if your not staying DVC and want the DDP you have to buy tickets through disney
There’s some notice sometimes. In 2015, we wanted to go to the Polynesian, but stayed at the Contemporary, because Disney announced renovations at the Poly.Agreed. WDW historically has been horrible at letting guests know beforehand that amenities will be closed. A couple years ago, they closed the entire Lava Pool with zero notice. Last year they closed the food court and table service restaurant at CBR with 2 weeks notice. And there are plenty of other examples.
