Can we have friends come and visit us at our resort and swim in our pool at OKW?

I can't remember the rule on this.

visit you: yes
use the pool: No ( although people occassionally do)

This can be quite a hot topic of conversation so it may not stay unlocked for long. But the pools have capacities and if every room designated for 4 people brought another 4 people to use the pool they would be way over capacity and it would be an unpleasant experience for everyone.

I just couldn't remember what the rules were.

While I expect you'd get different answers even from CMs, one thing is clear...

you can have people up to your occupancy in the pools. For example, there are 3 of us, and we often get a 2 bedroom.....I normally get a few extra room keys, because we always have guests.

Unless your friends pull up in a tour bus, I don't see the harm in it. You will of course have to get towels fro them or they may bring their own. There's probably is a rule written about this but let's be honest, if I show up in my 2 bedroom unit that sleeps eight with three people, the accomodations, pool included are meant for 8. That's how I would rationalize inviting my friends for a day at the pool.

Signs at the pools say they are reserved for the guests of that resort. If you are a DVC member and your friends are staying at WDW (other than AKL/AKV and BC/YC/BCV) you could pool hop over to their pool. But they are not supposed to pool hop to your pool unless they are also DVC members staying on points at a DVC resort.

But if you're 3 people staying in a 2br, then simply add the name of up to 5 of your friends when you check in, and they'll be registered guests (even though they don't sleep there). Of course, if you're doing the dining plan this could be very expensive!

I would imagine that unless you brought 25 friends to the pool, no one is going to badger you.

I have a sister in Tampa and her family usually visits us for a day on one of our trips every year. I have always asked the front desk and have always been given approval for them to join us at the pool if that is what we want to do that day.

I agree - ask at the resort and act accordingly. No one here speaks for the resort.

Don't forget part 2. No 2 CMs ever give the same answer, so you can keep asking until you get the answer you are looking for!

Not meant to be a dig at the OP. Just pointing out that CMs often diverge with their answers, just like as MS!
