This thread will be closed soon as there is a pool hopping sticky, but no you are not to swim at any resort other than the one you are staying at. The only exceptions are the sister resorts. People staying at the All Stars can use any All Stars pool and people staying at either of the Port Orleans resorts can use either the POFQ or the PORS pools. For some reason alot of people seem to think that Wilderness Lodge and the campgrounds are sister resorts, but they are not. We've personally seen them check resort IDs at WL and have seen Fort Wilderness folks thrown out. Besides how fair would it be to have someone paying Pop fees swim at Storm Along Bay, taking up chairs and space from people that paid the extra to stay at BC. The pools are too small and there are not enough pool chairs to have people there that are not guests of that resort. Storm Along Bay is probably the most strict. You can't even get into the pool area without showing your resort room key and getting a bracelet from lifeguard at the gate. Each resort room key has a code on it and the lifeguards know the codes for each resort. We've been asked to show our room key at WL, BW, and BC/YC.
There are signs at every pool that the pool is for guests of that particular resort only.
