Pool Hopping Q's

[lovewdwdvc]

If we are DVC members but staying at another Disney resort for points, can we use the pool hopping privleges?

If we are DVC members but staying at another Disney resort for cash, can we use the pool hopping privleges?

 

[Deb & Bill]

You must be the member staying on points at a DVC resort. Your room ID card must say DVC Member. So if you are paying cash, no. If you are staying at a non-DVC resort, no.

Here's the actual wording from the DVC Members' Website:

Pool Hopping Information for 2005

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 "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. In addition, this restriction includes the leisure pools at 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*:

# February 20 - 26, 2005
# March 19 - 27, 2005
# May 27 - 30, 2005
