Pool hopping favs

[Yankee fan]

Keeping in mind that SAB and AKV are off limits to pool hop, can you give me some ideas on what pools to hit with my kids? I have 5 kids, ages 15-7. They all love to swim.

We'll be staying at SSR for 8 days, first time as DVC members, in late August. We plan on hitting the parks in the late afternoon when it feels a little cooler.

We tried the get up early, hit the parks, come back for lunch and a swim and head out later thing last year in July and that didn't work too well for us. We stayed for 10 days last year and by day 3 we were sleeping in, swimming, and staying out late.

Any suggestions on an itinerary would be greatly appreciated.
We're good for 2 pools /day...

Thanks so much.

hey I just go for EMH and leave around 10 am - then coming back in that evening is fine. (allergic to sun - so no choice)

Polyn, CSR, OKW (love the castle), BWV, WL/VWL, if they finished with the new pool at CBR.

for your 7 year old - then POFQ - the others will find it boring - send them to POR.

of course I actually like the pools at Pop, too!

We have enjoyed pool hopping at Grand Floridian.

We pool hopped for the 1st time in May. The day we went to Hollywood studios we went for lunch at Coronado Springs - Pepper Market then we went swimming in their pool. We just brought suits to the parks with us and a huge zip lock to put the wet suits in after. My kids loved they pyramid pool.

Then our Magic Kingdom day we hit the Polynesian. Had lunch in their food court, very good food. Then swam in their pool. My kids again loved this pool. We again just carried a bag with our suits and changed in the pool locker rooms and put the wet suits in a zip lock.
