Need some direction please....

Please feel free, anyone, to push this to the appropriate place if this isn;t it! We will be at ASM next June for 9 days with our family. I have a Nephew and his family that live in Fort Lauderdale, whom we see rarely. My question... would we be able to have them at our resort to swim and hang out on one of our non-park days? I"m going to go out on a limb and say this isn't allowed, but checking anyway. They may join us for a couple of days at the resort but that isn't decided just yet. Thank you!

Resort pools are for the exclusive use of registered guests. Your guests may join you at other spots around the resort, just not the pool.

The hotel front desk may choose to provide you with guest wristbands. If available, there may or may not be a fee.

The waterparks are, of course, an alternative place to have water access.

Your visitors from Ft Lauderdale can hang out with you guys and do any activities, as long as it’s not explicitly stated that said activity is only for resort guests. Some activities like swimming in the pools are exclusive to guests. While some hotels like Swolphin have a thing called ResortPass where they could buy a pass to use the pools as non-guests, Disney’s resorts currently don’t have that.

Thanks for all of the feedback! I accept the rules on this, but honestly, how do they monitor such a thing?

It’s at random. You never know when they’re cracking down.

Some resorts have CMs stationed outside the pool gates checking to make sure the people entering are guests. This is standard procedure at YC/BC, but I've also seen it happen (albeit less consistently) at other resorts too.

Inquire at the front desk when you check in. I had a local friend join me for the day a few years ago, and when I asked about how they would be able to get to the resort to visit me, I was also told they could use the pool if they wanted. (I did not ask, and they did not.)

Never hurts to ask.
