Hey all! Didn't mean to start a pool-hopping war here... Yes, we have DVC and we always stay on points. We have never been told "too crowded, go away" probably because we usually visit early in the day when there are not too many other folks in the pools.
We have been going to Disney forever, and when we pool hop it is usually after breakfast or boat-rental at one of our favorite resorts. We often have a hard time picking where to stay each trip, and so we will pick one place but have breakfast or go rent boats at another favorite one. This stay we are going to the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge, but we'll have breakfast at Kona Cafe, and then hubby and I will sit and look across the lake while the kids do the volcano slide for an hour. Since we get to do WDW a few times a year now, we don't even go NEAR the parks in the summer until the nighttime. During the day we swim, shop, do Disney Quest, ride the boats or monorails around... anything less hectic. We always have our vehicle so going to another resort is pretty easy.
I am looking forward to having a mug that works at all resorts!
