Pool Hopping Perk

[kristinlynn]

Hi - I've read that as a DVC member we can pool hop to other DVC resorts (except Y&B). If I'm a DVC member staying at the WDW swan, can I still use the pool at BWV...or do I need to be staying at the vacation club to use the pool hopping perk?

From the member website:

Pool Hopping Information for 2008
You and any Guests staying with you at Disney's Old Key West Resort, Disney's BoardWalk Villas, The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Disney's Beach Club Villas or Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa are permitted to use other Disney Vacation Club and Walt Disney World Resort hotel pools (in addition to the pool at the Resort hotel at which you're staying) if they are not at capacity.

If the pool you are visiting reaches capacity, you may be asked to leave in order to accommodate Guests of that Resort hotel. Please check with a Host/Hostess at the Front Desk of the Resort hotel you wish to visit to find out about pool-access availability. You must present your current "Key to the World" card with your Disney Vacation Club "Member" designation on it to use other Resort hotel pools. Pool hopping is not available at Uzima Pool at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts or at the leisure pools of these two Resort hotels. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Resort hotel pools may become unavailable from time to time because of capacity limitations. Due to expected high occupancy, Disney Vacation Club Members may not "pool hop" during the following dates*:

* May 23 - 26, 2008
* June 28 - July 5, 2008
* August 29 - September 1, 2008
* November 24 - 30, 2008
* December 14, 2008 - January 4, 2009

*Other restricted dates may be added based on projected pool capacity.

In other words, no, you can't hop to Luna Park.

so if I'm staying at AKV I can't go to BWV? is it because AKV pools are not for hopping?

If you are a DVC member staying at AKV on points, then yes you can pool hop to BWV provided 1) they are not at capacity 2) it is not a blackout date 3) you have both your KTTW card and your Blue Member DVC ID card.
