It's A Pirate's Life for Me!

Well not really, but it does involve salt water.  We have a BIG change coming to Mickey's Garden Villa. Just this past June we painted the pool deck and updated the lights in our pool to colour changing LEDs. These are not only fun but they are also more energy efficient.

We also upgraded our pool pump to a more efficient unit. The only downside to it was that now our guests have to press 2 buttons to turn on the spa. You are on vacation and we hate to make more work for you!  So in the interest of all our guests we thought we'd go one step further and do one more pool upgrade.

To ensure that all our guest have a relaxing, stress and work free vacation we are putting in new pool controls and will bring back straight forward operation of the spa. Mid October we will have the new system installed and guests will be able to control the spa and pool lights from inside the house. Now you'll be able to turn on the spa and get it up to temperature without setting foot outside.

Now all you land lubbers are still probably wondering what Jack Sparrow, Davey Jones and salt water have to do with new pool controls. While we won't be inviting any pirates to vacation at Mickey's Garden Villa we will soon have a non-chlorine pool. During the installation of the new controls we will be changing the pool over to salt.

Why is this big news you ask? Salt water pools are great for several reasons:

• They are gentle on skin and eyes
• The water feels softer
• Safer, no harsh chemicals

We hope that all the improvements that we made to the pool will make all our guest's vacation even more relaxing. 

That's it for updates for now.  Please visit our Orlando area events page for information on upcoming events at all the theme parks. Don't hesitate to ask us any questions or leave a comment. Have a great weekend.

P.S. Today was also National Talk Like a Pirate day, matey!
