Disney Timeshare Day Use

[DisTravels]

Does anyone know if Disney Hilton Head, Disney Vero Beach, WDW properties or Aulani allow owners to utilize the facilities during off-peak times when they are nearby, but not staying on-site?

no you have to be onsite to use their facilities - that say would call while you are there - some things are open to the public at times.
swimming pools, gym, tennis courts, basketball & etc are not.

Depends on the resort, and what you mean by 'facilities'. At the WDW DVC resorts, recreational activities like boat rentals are available to the public. You can dine or shop at a resort without being a guest there.

Resort pools are going to be off-limits anywhere. The pool-hopping specifics can be found on the DVC member site, but at WDW, you need to be a registered guest at a DVC resort to be able to pool-hop, and not all pools are open to you.

Check out our DVC Resorts board for the details on Vero and Hilton Head. Aulani has its own board.

The question is not regarding the general public, rather, the question is regarding owners that pay maintenance fees at the resort.

Additional context:
Some timeshares allow owners to access the facilities (pools, etc) based on various criteria, including resort occupancy and some require attaining a guest pass. Owner access, while not staying, may depend on many vary from resort to resort even within the same brand.

Lynne M answered your question - WDW DVC does not operate in this fashion. You have to be a registered guest at the resort to utilize resort (the pool or DVC pool hopping) privileges. WDW DVC owners cannot obtain day passes.

Lynne M provided some helpful information and other places to find out more information.

I'm not sure what the purpose of your post is, but it does not seem very friendly or constructive. Lynne did not say that WDW owners cannot attain day passes or cannot register as a non-staying guest. That may or may not be true, but she did not say that.

You will also note that the post was not regarding just WDW.

None of the Disney DVC properties allow DVC owners to obtain a day pass or register as a non-staying guest. To use a specific resort's amenities, you must be staying at that resort.

The purpose of my post is to let you know that what you are asking is not possible at WDW and, as you see by the answer below, at any Disney property. DVC owners cannot attain day passes or register as a non-staying guest. Answering your question, though it may not be the answer you want to hear, is both friendly and constructive.

None of the Disney DVC properties allow DVC owners to obtain a day pass or register as a non-staying guest. To use a specific resort's amenities, you must be staying at that resort.
