Has anyone been there lately? I am interested in what is open and closed, and if there is enough pool seating to have a chance during spring break in mid March. Thanks!

We were at Tuscany in October and everything seemed normal. Seating was pleantiful at both pools.
I know it’s not Seaworld but I’m assuming it would be about the same.

We actually visited Seaworld park, Discovery Cove and Aquatica while there. They were very good. Took temps at the gates, seating was good at the shows and beaches.

I think you’ll be fine and have a lot of fun. Resorts are like 2/3 capacity so not crowded.

My parents were there last week and had a great time, including in the pool. Don’t think it was busy or anything. They went to seaworld and said it wasn’t crowded.

We had a great time with a room in building 4 which was a short trip to the pool (why we went - to escape winter). However, they are short staffed and did not appear ready for the crowd. The pool bar menu (whose food is normally better than most) is limited and they stop taking orders for food at 6 and drinks at 7. Only a few tables under the awning - so it was a take out situation still. Only one person at the register (another doing drinks and bringing out food). The gym was open. The pool gate was not often open by 8 (as I watched frustrated people from the gym window be locked out).

As usual all of the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The pool was a zoo on Saturday with what they said was over 300 check-ins (as told by a couple we met who got there a 7am). Many decided they weren't going to wear masks even while waiting in the pool bar line in spite of signs everywhere. The resort tried.

I think people are "over" the rules. If you are worried about being around crowds I would not suggest it. People try to stay separated but there were just a lot of people.
