So we are planning our next trip to Disney for spring of next year.
We are going to rent DVC points for our stay this time. I thought I had narrowed it down to Beach Club, but my husband has been quite vocal that he wants to stay at the Poly this time around.
(He never chirps in his 2 cents and always gives me my way, unless it really matters to him..so I was considering switching) He feels being in proximity to MK with 3 children under 9 is key right now since that will be our main park. I agree too. But as I was going through some post regarding the Poly I came across one that concerned me a little.

Many people are complaining the Poly pool is CRAZY overcrowded and tons of non-guests are entering. One person called it "people soup"
Through some more research I found a lot of people complaining about this and mainly it is because they aren't scanning MB to enter the pool. I know when we stayed at the AOA last year, we had to scan our MB to enter. Now most of these posts are over a year old, so I'm wondering if people are still finding this to be a problem? We definitely plan to have some pool time while we're there, but would hate to find we are standing shoulder to shoulder with someone while doing so! I understand that pools will be crowded, but allowing non guests to swim is a whole other issue and leads to even more crowding. TIA!
