Legit DVC Pool Hopping Question

[rgf207]

I have a question about DVC pool hopping.

First I just want everyone to be aware that I know know DVC owners are NOT allowed to pool hop to Storm Along Bay and Animal Kingdom Lodge

We are staying at SSR. We rented DVC points from my uncle. Are we allowed to pool hop to, say, the Grand Floridian or Poly even though we do not own the DVC we are just renting points?

No you are not. The member get the benefit, and would need to be there for the benefit to apply.

Thank you. Just wondering because the last time we rented points from my uncle our KTTW card said "DVC Member" We stayed at the Beach Club so we had no need to go to another pool

Lifted from the DVC member site:

You (the member) and any Guests staying with you at Disney's Old Key West Resort, Disney's BoardWalk Villas, The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Disney's Beach Club Villas or Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa are permitted to use other Disney Vacation Club and Walt Disney World Resort hotel pools (in addition to the pool at the Resort hotel at which you're 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/Hostess at the Front Desk of the Resort hotel you wish to visit to find out about pool-access availability. You must present your current "Key to the World" card with your Disney Vacation Club "Member" designation on it to use other Resort hotel pools. Pool hopping is not available at Uzima Pool at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts or at the leisure pools of these two Resort hotels. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Resort hotel pools may become unavailable from time to time because of capacity limitations. Due to expected high occupancy, Disney Vacation Club Members may not "pool hop" during the following dates*:

May 23 - 26, 2008
June 28 - July 5, 2008
August 29 - September 1, 2008
November 24 - 30, 2008
December 14, 2008 - January 4, 2009

*Other restricted dates may be added based on projected pool capacity.

Unfortunately for you, pool hopping is a member perk and not a guest perk unless you are there with the member. You should plan on swimming at your resort pools. You would be asked for your blue member card if you attempt to use member perks.

I dont plan on hopping. I just wasn't sure how it worked on rented DVC points.
