Pool hopping at FWC/WL

[eastatlantaguys]

First let me say that I do realize this is a touchy subject! But I can’t seem to find my answer anywhere (though I think I have an idea). If I am staying at Fort Wilderness Campground can I use the pool at Wilderness Lodge?

Nope. They have recently redone the one in the fort, and it looks pretty cool, from what I have seen in pictures.

That's what I thought. It doesn't really matter as we will spend a large amount of time at the water parks but it would have been nice to have the option.

No, they are not "sister" resorts. No hopping allowed.

No, they are two separate resorts. All they share is the word "Wilderness" in their names.

As others have said, FW and WL are two separate resorts,and do not share facilities. So, FW guests may not use the WL pools, and WL guests may not use the FW pool.

In my experience, WL tends to be one of the stricter resorts when it comes to monitoring pool access. On more than one occasion, I've seen ID checks done in the pool area, and non-WL guests being escorted out.

I'm going to close this thread. For more information, see our Pool Use FAQ at the top of this board. It includes a list of the 'sister resorts' where guests at one resort may use the pools at the other.
