Pool Hop Question

[LilMommyBug]

Is it okay to go over to the Hard Rock pool if we are staying at the Royal Pacific? My kids love slides, but apparently the RPR doesn't have any?

The portofino bay beach pool as a really neat slide--even for adults.

Would anyone have any pictures of the slide at PBH? I've never been and think the kids would love it! TIA

How do you pool hop? For example from RPR to PBH, do you walk in your bathing suit and flip flops with towel wrapped around you?

I love this DISboard.Learn alot evan though been alot.As far as pool hopping its pretty easy (now that i think about it).Pack your swimming gear in a dufflebag and head for the boat.It will take you to CW then catch the next boat to the resort you want.They will check bags of coarse.So pack lightly.The resort you go to have bathrooms to change in and offer towels poolside.
Pretty easy ,wish i thought of it before.Will be going to RPR next month, and will be doing this.

That's a pretty long walk. You could walk between PBH and HRH like that though.

If you are going to do RPR from PBH, take the boat or bus.

The slide is built within a rock outcrop (manmade I'm sure). The only part of the slide you can see is the hole coming out.

Question about boat ride between hotels, this is something you need to request from the pilot of the boat to make sure he know you want to go to the other hotel. They don't always stop if they don't know someone wants them to stop.

You won't see many adults going down it unless there is a child begging them to go. I went down a few times and it was fun.

The towels are at the pools.

The only boat that might have a chance to stop at another resort would be the PBH boat. And that would be a quick stop at HRH. However, from our experience, the PBH boat captain won't usually stop at HRH even if you asked him.

The only time I have seen them stop at both HRH and PBH is when the lines for the boats are really crowded after the parks close. The the PBH boat, if not loaded might take some people back to the HRH.

The HRH boat would never go farther down into the lagoon to take you to PBH. That would throw off the HRH boat schedule.

And RPR boats would never go over to HRH or PBH or the RPR & PBH boats would never go to RPR in that they would have to go right past City Walk to get into the other side of the lagoon.

However, you can take the bus. The bus runs a circuit and stops at all three hotels.
