We are actually at the Wilderness Lodge property now (have been her since Sunday) and will be until this coming Sunday. We have been hanging at the Boulder Ridge Cove pool as it is not as busy and much less noisy and there have been no issues with crowding. Even on our arrival day which was over the weekend, there was plenty of room to socially distance and people have been pretty respectful. This pic attached was taken from our first day. Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to turn it right side upI understand that later in the evening once the feature pool closes it gets more crowded, especially on the weekend, but I’m talking to a cast member it has only closed to capacity a couple times since the resorts have reopened.
Masks are not required on the pool deck as many have previously reported, including walking over to the restrooms which are inside the pool area but we still wear ours when we walk over and most do as well, but YMMV.

Thank you very much for this detailed "eye witness report." With all the parks closing before nighttime (*such a shame, because I think the parks are most magical at night - not to mention summer heat in Florida), I worried the pools may get swarmed in the evening. We plan on spending most time at BR pool when we visit in two weeks, so this was a relief to read.
Since you offered to answer other questions, any idea on if they are still doing crafts in the Reunion Station (and, if so, when)? I don't know if this is a high touch activity that would be banned due to covid. Also, how busy has Geyser Point Bar & Grill been (again, with parks closing early, I'm wondering how highly in demand resort dining has been) - I've been dreaming about the bison burger more than I care to admit.
And one final, general question for the community. We are not DVC members (yet) but paying out of pocket to stay in BR. Will we still have mousekeeping only every 4 days? I'm specifically wondering if they will give me enough coffee to last for the 4 days for the in room coffee maker or if they will replenish it daily? (Trying to decide if I must bring extra coffee with me). Thanks again!
