Walt Disney World Hotels: New Lifeguard Hours (2013)

Please, be sure to notice this new advisory, which affects all the major pool of the Walt Disney World Hotels:

Over the coming months, new operating and lifeguarding hours for feature and other popular pools will be implemented at the Walt Disney World Resort, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, and Disney's Vero Beach Resort. Lifeguards will be present at guarded pools during all hours they are open (operating hours will vary seasonally and based on Guest demand. Generally, the guarded pools will open at either 7 a.m. or 9 a.m. and close at 11 p.m.; however, these hours can be extended or modified to accommodate special events and high demand.). Fences will also be installed around all of the major pools.

Feature pools will be closed when lifeguards are not present. Quiet pools will remain available to Guests 24 hours a day and will continue to be unguarded.

Implementation will begin with Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort, and Disney's All-Star Resorts on Sunday, September 29, 2013 and is expected to be complete in November 2013.

What do you think about this change? We are definitely sure that this make the pool areas safer, to help avoid having tragic accidents like the one that recently happened at one of the Disney Hotels.
