New Pool Entry Requirement? Share Wristband Experiences by Resort!

[jennypenny]

Having the gates locked doesn't do much. On multiple occasions at RR, I've seen people from CB walk over and just wait until someone goes in or out of the gate to enter the pool area. Most people hold the gate open for others as a courtesy, although some realize what's happening. I don't think it's incumbent on the guest to ask the people walking through if they're staying at RR.

Wristbands are needed.

I try my best to make sure nobody tailgates me (I never hold open the gate and I just don't go through the gate if there's somebody loitering at the gate) but I don't sit there and hold back the mob so to speak, lol. It's not my job. I agree that a wristband would be useful. But then that begs the question, if every resort on property is handing out wristbands - how do they know which wristband you have? Ideally they won't just be a color band like they have used at Stormalong Bay in the past, but they'd be wristbands that have the resort name printed on them or something.

Resorts get different colors which vary by day. So, one would have to work really hard to know what resort was using which color to match the color you might have.

And, you can’t keep the same band for your own pool. Last year, when they were doing it at CBR, the cut off the color from the day before and put a new one on to use the pool.

Did not see any wristbands at SSR this weekend.

Last week at the Grand Floridian they were scanning magic bands and issuing wristbands.

Oh so everyone gets a new wristband every day? In the past at SAB it was one wristband for the duration of your stay unless you needed a new one for whatever reason.

Last time we did SAB, which granted, was a few years ago, we did get a different one so I assumed that was always the way.

But, yes, at CBR, last summer. It was a new color each day.
