Do we need to bring towels?

[bevemjake]

We will be staying at POFQ and I was wondering if I need to pack beach towels for the pool? I'm not sure if they provide any there or not. Since I tend to be an over-packer I'm trying hard to cut back.

I have never heard of bringing my own towels. I always use the hotels. If you dont think you will have enough call mousekeeping for extra's. I know the CR has towels down by the pool I would think all the WDW hotels would.

Leave the towels bring more snacks and sunscreen.

All the moderate (POFQ included) and deluxe resorts have towels available for use atleast at the main pool. I don't know about quiet pools - probably none available.

The value resorts do not have towels at the pool. You are instructed to take room towels, then request extras from housekeeping.

Of course you may use your own towel at any resort pool if you wish.

Do you need to bring your own towels for the water parks?

If I remeber correctly, when we went to BB last June, we "rented" towels for $1 each. They were plain white--about bath size. It was actually nice not to have to lug our own towels to the park--we barely used the ones we rented, too. We didn't carry them with us between slides, etc. They just stayed at our lounge chair.

We DID use a waterproof disposable camera (had an elastic wristband) and got great photos!!

We take our own towels to the waterparks, but we have them with us because we usually camp at Fort Wilderness and take them to the pools there as well.

We always bring our own beach towels, because the ones provided by Disney are too small. We prefer the big, fluffy beach towels.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll leave the towels at home.

My DH asked me why I would post this question rather than just calling the resort and asking. Silly man. I told him I'll get a much more thorough answer here on the boards!

We have also taken towels from the pool area of the resort where we were staying with us to BB and TL. We then just drop them in the towel drop at TL/BB so we have less to carry back to the room.
