Yep exactly
I disagree. There are certain rules and guidelines that are universal property wide at WDW, that all CMs are instructed in, especially resort managers. It has nothing to do with "interpretation", the rules not being followed can be blamed on CMs who are lax and not following the rules but it has nothing to do with "interpretation".
It has been very clear over the years that there is no official Disney policy relating to "quiet pools". This was simply a SECOND HAND report of an incident where reportedly the manager was dealing the mother of two kids that were obviously miisbehaving and exhibiting behavior that was not appropriate at any pool. The report that he instructed there were better places to act such wasy other than the "quiet pool" has real no meaning. Even at face value this is clearly not an issue of Disney or DVC policy. And since this is a second hand report it has even less meaning. To be honest, it's likely less likely to represent Disney's official policy than those of us who have been experiencing Disney regularly for more than 10-15 years. To use this as an example of Disney Policy is way out in left field at best.
Your right to disagree of course. In reviewing the POS, the pools are included as an asset and privilege. I would think any material change in usage would require a vote of the BOD and possibly he members themselves. And I would see the issue in question as a material change (to make a pool adult only or nearly so). Plus I am aware of no official or written info from Disney from ANY of their resorts qualifying the restrictions on any pool other than those of safety like running, diving, pool toys and the like. And to be honest, I'm not aware of any true indication from Disney as to a different standard at the "quiet pools" as this obviously cannot be used as such. If you have something in writing, I'd love to see it. Besides I'd venture to guess that many people on this board know more about Disney than the majority of the employees including a number of managers. We've all had instances dealing with MS or a resort where we've been told incorrect info including managers and supervisor.
We can certainly agree to disagree. I believe this thread is the first time I've ever seen anyone say they were told there was any type of different standard in any form. Although I don't really belive that's what was intended by the manager quoted. And as I said, I don't see how this could be enforced legally or practically. I wouldn't be surprised if certain cast members took the name literally as some in this thread have. I remember a thread a few years ago, I think it was 1999, about this very topic. At the time it was actually difficult to find where Disney referred to them as quiet pools. There were few places where they did. I think the burden of proof would be to prove there is a different standard for the "quiet pools" and ther really is none in spite of your feelings otherwise.
I haven't read that from anything you posted either. But hay, I think those who promote anything goes at the quiet pools have convinced me, I give in. If ya can't convince them, join them. Perhaps my wife and I should just leave our kids off at the pools, even though they are very young, and then go and enjoy the parks and activities for ourselves. The lifegaurds at the pools keep an eye on them for us. Perhaps we'd be able to go several hours, have many, many drinks, take a nap, and head back to the pool to pick them up later. It would be nice if someone at the pool was able to change the baby's diapers while we are out, but I guess you can't have everything. Even if they've had terrible behavior, nobody will really bother us about it, hay, the yelling, screaming, throwing objects and disturbances are just kids being kids, whether it's the quiet pool or other pools. You've got to have the loud ringing sound of "Marco - Polo" to make it a real vacation, no matter how long the game goes on. It's so cute when the kids scream that at the top of thier lungs. Well, I've got to try to find out where the kids are right now and at least get them out of the street, the little one needs his bottle and weekly bath.

There is also no proof that there is NOT a different standard!
I've been to WDW and DVC as many times and almost as long as you have and I NEVER recall hearing of a different standard from a CM or any official source. Only members complaining. Being that as it may, there is no way to have a different standard if it is not published and noticed. CM are also VERY frequently wrong and make up rules as they go along, which seems to happen more frequently when DVC is involved even than just WDW in general. As for enforcing the rules, that's a different matter. I absolutely agree that WDW should enforce the rules. No smoking in NOS units, enforce occupancy limits, don't give away asigned units because someone is complaining, etc, etc, etc. Here's a similar thread from 2001. No one mentioned any direct or indirect communication with DVC regarding the issue then or any other time it's come up that I recall. I'd love to see specific examples.
