pls help w/Poly Kona, pool & MK day

[newholidayx2]

1 of the days we're staying on DVC pts at BCV Im thinking of going to Poly for brkfst at Kona, staying to use the pool but ending the day at MK
thinking brkst at 11am, pool 12-3, early dinner PS at Plaza?, then MK from 5-9

think we should do an earlier brkfst at Kona and after the pool go back to the BC for a while before our MK night?
MK is close to Poly so not sure if Id be wasting too much time going back? and if it would be easier to get to MK right after Poly

any suggestions?

I would find it inconvienent to have pool time at a resort other than where I am staying. I like to shower & change after swimming before doing Park time, tho. I also think Stormalong Bay is about 1000X better than the Volcano pool at the Poly (have stayed at both). (The volcano pool is very small for the size of the resort & can get very crowded)
Personally, I would go back to BC & swim before going to MK.

I didn't think you could swim at a resort that was not your's. We are staying at one of the All Star resorts but would love to visit the Corond. Springs Pool. Have you ever Pool hopped? How did it go?

we're DVCers and staying on our pts last 6nights at BCV - we're not planning on pool hopping when we stay the 5nights at Pop or the 3nights at WL

She is a member of the DVC, and members can hop to any pool with the exception of Storm Along Bay and the pool at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. That privelege is not open to other guests. So for those of us who aren't members of the DVC, if we want to swim in a certain pool, we have to stay at that resort. The lifeguards do check room keys and the code of your resort is on it.

To the original OP, I think your plan sounds good, and that going back to the BC would truly be a waste of time.
