Wanted to cross post from the VGF Thread. You can see original post HERE.


“Someone reported in a Facebook group that Grand Floridian is scanning magic bands and giving out bracelets to use the pool today and that it’s a permanent change. So excited for this change and I hope they start doing it at all pools!”

If anyone is there, or will be there, can you confirm this, please? Thanks!

I hope this is true, we were just there at the beginning of May and we watched a family of 5 take over multiple chairs with their stroller and balloons. Said they were at MK for the day but came over here to use the pool for a break. They werent even trying to hide the fact they were not resort guests. I mentioned it to a cast member and they said there is nothing they can do but are aware of this problem and are working on it, I hope this is the beginning of scanning in. This is not the first time we have seen it at GF. Funny how virtually every resort on property you have to scan in for the pool but not the one right next to MK..

Yes, and funny too because the flagship resort doesn't even have all that great of a pool... Most Disney pools are underwhelming, and these (with the possible exception of the splashed) certainly live up to that reputation....

Countless Instagram and tik tok posts also proclaim the Resort amenities are “free” to anyone and how to spend a “non-park day” at deluxe resorts. Movies, games, fireworks viewing etc. Really makes me question the safety of the resorts.
