Hope so..it’s the “off color “ green“ I think of the carpets that may make them look more dated and worn. Would hope that when they do a refurbishment in the future, the color of the carpets would be more tasteful that that “Off color Green"It's been a while. According to a quick search, maybe 2014? They're supposed to be going through a full refurbishment in 2022 according to Blog Mickey. Whether that happens now,?
being exposed to smoking while trying to relax or swim!
SMOKING section at Big Dipper Pool...!
For all HH owners or those who stay often...We have mostly used the Beachhouse pool in the past including this trip and have only used the Big Dipper Pool on occasion.
However, we were at Big Dipper Pool one day and was very unpleasantly surprised by a SMOKING section right in the pool area, closest to the lounge chair section opposite the kiddie pool area.
We were really caught off guard trying to relax on our first day. We started to smell smoke and we were like huh? Where can that possibly be coming from. Sure enough, we looked to our left from our chaise lounges and umbrella and see a gentlemen smoking. We spoke with lifeguard, on property management at Disney HH and come to understand that this is clearly a designated smoking area, along with 2 others which are much less conspicuous and not near a widely used public area like this. This is how I feel as a non smoker. Move the 3rd smoking area to another area.
I did ask the question if they have received other complaints by members regarding smoking at the Big Dipper Pool and local manager responded that they have not! Kind of surprising!
We strongly believe that puts non smoking guests at risk for second hand smoke and our health is compromised! By doing this, the health and well being of the majority of pool users, children and non smoking guests is compromised for the smokers who use the smoking area.
Has anyone else here raised the issue of allowing smoking in a smoking section at the Big Dipper Pool?
I immediately discussed with property management and have escalated the Smoking policy to DVC management.
Totally threw us off guard as we don't remember seeing this at any of the resorts(we have visited all of them so far)
We were VERY UNHAPPY
Why would a guest have to move and be inconvenienced for a smoker? No , as I said in my post, I took the proper steps, gathered the facts from the lifeguard and then spoke with management. If there is a smoking area by a ping pong table, that’s just as bad![/QUOTE]

We love the 1BRs at DHHIR. They are roomy! Not quite as large as OKW but much larger than most of the WDW DVC properties. Our last trip we stayed in a handicap accessible 1BR right off the main lobby (we did not book a handicap unit--they assigned us one). I didn't think I'd like it but boy, was I wrong! Being right there next to the lobby offered us a 2nd restroom when we needed it as it was just a few steps from our door to the lobby restroom. The balcony was HUGE and we had lots of amenities right there at the bottom of the stairs. Covered parking if you can get it. Most of the 1BRs are in the main lodge.
They did when we were there last month. I think they missed us one day though.
Yes, they came in daily to do trash. Interesting, at Vero, they did not.
Great to hear. I'm a mosquito magnet. We went to Vero once and I ended up covered in mosquito bites after an afternoon of mini golf at the resort. Now that I think of it, I don't remember getting bitten up like that at Hilton Head.
