Lol...like me for one...I can't swim. ...I hate it that I'll have to endure a water park day for the kids.....If i go out of my depth those lifeguards better be ready.

Wow, is it just me, or has this post gotten considerably out of hand. A simple question was asked, and it was answered within the first 2 or 3 responses. Now we are almost 60 responses into this thread, and what are we accomplishing? I dont endorse pool hopping. I've never done it. Personally, I'm not sure if I could even spot a pool hopper, and I dont even like taking time away from the parks to swim, unless I absolutly have to, in which case, a pool is a pool, and any will do. But at this point, we have reduced ourselves to name calling, digging up dirt from old post to discredit others and touting a holier than thou additude. But what's it all for? To condemn those lesser vacationers who break a silly, trivial rule? Honestly, has pool hopping ever actually kept anyone from getting to swim? How can you tell who is a hopper and who isnt? And is all of this really such a big deal that it warrents this sort of behaviour?

You can argue that those who want to close this thread down are simply trying to justify thier own illegal behaviour. I personally would like to see this thread closed because I think we are far past being useful, informative and constructive in this discussion, and when we reach this point, no one really bennefits.

All of that being said, I have decided that when I return to WDW in Sept, I am taking my old last years mug from Pop, going down to AKL, filling it up with a tasty beverage, hopping on the bus down to the Poly for a swim, will head back to my room at the Pop, round up my dirty laundry and take it down to the Contemporary and have it washed. And maybe while I am waiting for the wash, I can sneak up to the California Grill, sneak a few samples from the chefs and watch Wishes from the balcony. What do you guys think?

Oh water parks for me are a no-no. I was with my cousin at Six Flags we were in the wave pool and she wanted to scare me so she hid underwater for almost a minute (she has amazing lung capacity) I couldn't find her and was ready to call a life guard when she came up. Since then I am afraid of water parks.

I agree that this has gotten out of hand and I am ashamed that as a mature confident women I have partaken in such childish behavior. I usually only read the thread about pool hopping and mug refilling and do not respond to any of them....I think I will stick to that rule.

But for Lakeareil to save you any further searching I added my “horrible secret” to my signature so that everyone will know...It'll be like my own scarlet letter!!!

Isn't it amazing how things like this can just seem to suck you into them?
