Just an update: All Pool Features are open including the slide and shipwreck pool.

All the Hot Tubs, are being operated in "Non Therapeutic Mode" (pool temp water, not hot)

The seating areas around the Beach Club (by Cape May Cafe) is walled off and still being worked on. This is a large section of seats. This makes it very difficult for anyone arriving after the first 30 minutes after opening.

Also there are considerably fewer seats around the pool deck. I'm not sure if they're waiting for replacements, compared to prior there are several section that used to have seats, which no longer have seats.

Interesting side note, the quiet pools have also had seats removed, the Yacht Club Quiet pool only had a handful of seats available to it, which was very bizarre. Same thing with the Beach Club quiet pool. I did not check out the DVC pool at Beach.

Was there for a week left Monday and there were tubes all up in the lazy river area. Had my 6 year old in one.

We were there the first week of September and there were plenty of both of these, as well as a few of the mats.

I must’ve missed you cause I was there too first week of September. The difference was there were significantly less people at the pool then when it opened earlier in the summer when I was also there.

I can't believe these are what they are currently using! We use these in our pool and we are constantly replacing them due to the seat portion ripping off of the horseshoe shaped backing. Granted they are great for floating while having your body still being submerged in the water to keep cool, but they just don't seem durable enough for a resort pool. It's just me and the wife in our pool using them a few days a week.

It’s what they use at the waterparks as well! I’d say roughly 1/2 the tubes there are the U-shaped loungers. They must have found a solution!

Doesn't matter what language it's written in, it's still inaccurate. It might have been applicable if it were associated with a facility that's contemporary with animal drawn conveyances, but it's not.

Its origins are from the days of carriages driving through a covered archway to a courtyard.

However it’s now commonly used to mean a covered car port area.

This is what Miriam Webster says:
