My belief is that Disney will elimante pool hopping someday. I have NO facts to base this on, but they have gotten more restrictive each year. We will just have to wait and see (and duck for cover if they ever do! LOL!)
The problem is that it only takes a few people abusing the pool hopping to spoil it for everyone. I have heard of DVC members staying on cash at other resorts assuming that they have the right to pool hop. Plus the one time I saw a DVC member asked to leave a pool the member was so abusive to the CM that I was embarrassed. Kept announcing "I SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR MY DVC AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT" and told the CM that she was stupid. A manager was summoned and the guest was told to leave or be escorted out of the pool. All the way out, he and his wife cussed like sailors! (He also announced he was selling, I considered making him a low ball offer LOL!)If CMs get much treatment like this you know they are pushing to get us away!
