Do characters still swim in resort pools?

[Moon Child]

One year, whn DH and I stayed at The Wilderness Lodge, the characters (Pluto and Goofy) came to the pool area, went down the slide and swam with the kids
Do they still do this? We are going back in the fall and are thinking af staying there again

 

[MYD714]

Wow! I've never seen this happen at any of the WDW I've stayed at.

The last time the Hubby and I stayed at WL, was 99 b4 kids were born and they did swim in the pool, it was July
It was so cool. Since we've had the boys, we've stayed at The All Star Resorts and the Hard Rock in Universal
We really want to stay at WL again and with our kids, so just really wandering if they still did, I have pics, I will try and post if I can

 

[MYD714]

I would love to see pics if you could find them. I think that would make an amazing experience for kids staying on property. However...I'd think it would make for a pretty soggy costume.

 

[Moon Child]

The costumes were like bathing suits, and Pluto had on a swim vest, lol
My scanner isn't working so I took my pics of my pics from my phone
so they are not the best, but you can see them

That is very cool, but something I have never seen while staying at WL.

 

[MYD714]

That is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!

WOW! I had no idea! How in the world does Pluto do it?? I would think the water would cause the costume to weigh a ton!

Do the Disney Princes ever swim??

 

[Moon Child]

I guess my answer is no then, lol
It was hot that summer, maybe they weren't supposed to swim in the pool?
but then why were they wearing swim suits?

I do vaguely remember characters at River Country in similar outfits years ago. Can't say I have seen them since.

I saw a duck swimming at the WL pool. Wasn't Donald or Daisy though.

I remember when we were staying at the Poly when I was a kid, many years ago, Goofy was waterskiing in the lake. He skiied onto the beach and hung out with all of the kids for awhile before getting back on his waterskiis and skiing away. It was so funny to see and I will never forget it.

He did the same at Fort Wilderness in the 80's, several times.

lol that was my question too

 

[cdnmousegirls]

When I was little Goofy climbed the castle at Magic Kingdom!! Was very neat, I will find the pics to post!

I just hope they were staying at the resort or DVC. I would hate to think they were pool hopping!!! They should know better.

P.S. I remember seeing Goofy water skiing from the boat between TTC and MK a long time ago also.

He did the same at the Contemporary in the '80s. I haven't seen anything like it since.

I'm a quite a charachter.....and I swim in the pools.

 

[mickey&minniealways]

Back in the 70's and early 80's we saw the characters wandering around the resorts all the time. Donald seemed to be partial to the pool at the Poly back then.
