h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 1. How about that! I guess I ignored it a little to hard myself and missed that.2. A lot of things used to be ok. Like swimming in Bay Lake.Swimming in Bay Lake!!!As long as I can remember swimming in any lake was a big no no. The reason was always there's an amoeba or bacteria in the water. Heck they would yell at you if you stuck your little toe in the water. However last we were staying at the yacht club and there were kids wading in Crescent Lake right in front of 2 CMs. I asked one of the CM about it and she said as long as you don't swim it's ok. So of course me and DD waded out in the lake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not only was swimming in Bay Lake OK, it was the only place at the Fort where a guest could swim. The pools didn't come around until some time in the mid-80's. Which is why Fort guests had privileges to use any other WDW pool. Pool hopping was a perk for resort guests.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 1. There was a property called "The Disney Inn". I had never heard of this resort so I googled it. It is now the Shades of Green resort I have reservations for Shades of Green in November for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend, and in January for the Marathon Week.

Then came River Country... **sigh** a little slice of heaven in the form of an ole swimmin' hole. I have reservations for Shades of Green in November for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend, and in January for the Marathon Week. It's beautiful over there!! Have a great time and good luck in the 1/2 and the Marathon. :) Promise to get some more ignore worthy stuff posted soon. I can't seem to get focused. squirrel!
