I Can't Find the Pool Hopping Rules...

[kristenrice]

Is the pool-hopping available only for the member or does it include those on the same reservation with them?

We have a dinner planned for 5pm at O'Hana and we were thinking about hanging out at the Poly pool for the evening. We are DVC members travelling with other family members on the same points reservation. Can we all swim at the Poly pool or will they only allow our immediate family?

FWIW, I am only about 10% sure that we will even do this, but I don't want to offer it up as a possibility if it is not even allowed.

TIA!

Pool Hopping Information
When staying on your Membership at Disney's Vero Beach Resort or any DVC Resort at the Walt Disney World Resort, you and any Guests staying with you are permitted to use most of the other Disney Vacation Club and Walt Disney World Resort hotel pools (in addition to the pool at the resort hotel at which you are staying) if they are not at capacity. If the pool you are visiting reaches capacity, you may be asked to leave in order to accommodate Guests of that resort hotel. Please check with a host or hostess at the front desk of the resort you wish to visit before you go to find out about pool-access availability. You must present your current Key to the World card with your "DVC Member" designation on it to use the other resort hotel pools.


Pool hopping is not available at the pools at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Bay Cove Pool at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Uzima Pool and Samawati Springs Pool at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, and the leisure pool at Disney's Beach Club Villas. There are no exceptions to this policy. As a reminder, during times of high occupancy, please be mindful of the limited number of pool chairs available, and refrain from leaving towels or personal items on unoccupied pool chairs.


Resort hotel pools may become unavailable from time to time due to capacity limitations. Due to the high occupancy that is expected, Disney Vacation Club Members and any Guests staying with them may not pool hop during the following dates*:

I know we can hop, legally - so to speak, but honestly, has anyone ever asked you for ID while by a pool at a Disney resort?

Thank You! I went as far as "Recreation" but never checked the "Water Activities".

Yes, and they're checking them more regularly. Off topic, but they are also checking more regularly with the EMH hrs. if you're staying at a Disney resort too.
