We stayed at Boardwalk last week (week of Mem Day) and they appeared to only scan bands on the weekend/holiday. They didn't scan my kids bands, only mine.
Even DVC members are not allowed to hop to the Poly pools.
DVC can pool hop? Can they pool hop to the GF? If so that solves my problem as our travel companions are DVC!
From the DVC site...
When staying on your Membership at any Disney Vacation Club Resort at the Walt Disney World Resort, or Disney's Vero Beach Resort,you and any Guests staying with you are permitted to use most of the other Disney Vacation Club and Walt Disney World Resort hotel pools (in addition to the pool at the resort hotel at which you are staying) if they are not at capacity. If the pool you are visiting reaches capacity, you may be asked to leave in order to accommodate Guests of that resort hotel. Please check with a host or hostess at the front desk of the resort you wish to visit before you go to find out about pool-access availability. You must present your current Key to the World card with your "DVC Member" designation on it to use the other resort hotel pools. Pool hopping is not available at Bay Cove Pool at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Uzima Pool and Samawati Springs Pool at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, the leisure pool at Disney's Beach Club Villas, and the pools at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Resort hotel pools may become unavailable from time to time due to capacity limitations. Due to the high occupancy that is expected, you and any Guests staying with you may not pool hop during the following dates*:
February 16 - 23 (Sun-Sat)
April 12 - April 26 (Sat - Sat)
May 23 - 26 (Fri - Mon)
June 28 - July 7 (Sat - Mon)
August 29 - September 1 (Fri - Mon)
November 24 - 29 (Mon - Sat)
Dec 20, 2014 - Jan. 4, 2015 (Sat - Sun)
*Other restricted dates may be added based on projected pool capacity.
As a reminder, please be mindful of the limited number of pool chairs available, and refrain from leaving towels or personal items on unoccupied pool chairs."
Just bring the MBs. No need to wear them, put them in your pool bag or something, to show if asked for it. Have fun at POR! And remember that they don't just have the one pool, so if you want a smaller quieter pool, they have other options.
They weren't scanning last November. However since the magic band opens the door to your room one of you should have it with you anyway.I am staying at POFQ this weekend. We want to try out the pool at POR, since they allow pool sharing. When I go to POR, how will they know I am staying at POFQ? Should I bring my magic band or do they check at all? My husband hates wearing the band and I fear he may lose it.
As long as it isn't around Memorial Day and they are staying on a DVC points reservation.DVC can pool hop? Can they pool hop to the GF? If so that solves my problem as our travel companions are DVC!
Is Art of Animation included in the All star resorts? I know it is grouped with them for being value resorts and read that anyone staying within the all star resorts can use all the all star pools so just wanted to check before our trip. Thanks!
Thanks. I am actually staying at AOA just wanted to make sure I understood.No. People staying at the All-Stars may not pool hop to AOA.
you can only swim at the resort you are staying at. aoa is their own resortDoes anyone know if the Art of Animation is considered part of any hotel group like the All Stars are a group and you can use any of the pools?
