Stormalong Bay Will Not Immediately Reopen with Beach Club

When Disney Vacation Club resorts reopen on June 22, Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts will not be operating. Other feature pools "may operate with reduced hours", while leisure pools will remain available 24 hours per day. 

Disney may have elected to leave Stormalong Bay shuttered due to anticipated low hotel occupancy rather than Covid-related restrictions. Disney Vacation Club's Complimentary Alternative Pool Use policy (aka Pool Hopping) remains in place, allowing DVC members at Disney's Beach Club Villas to hop to the pools at Disney's BoardWalk Inn & Villas or a variety of other locations.  

Reduced capacity will be enforced at pools to encourage social distancing. 

Resort fitness centers will reopen, but with reduced hours and capacity. 

Expect these policies to be reevalutated as the theme park reopening draws nearer on July 11.
