Pool Hopping Question

[Thumper4me]

I am staying at The Boardwalk Villas and was wondering if I could pool hop to Disney's Swan or Dolphin pools?

Only if you don't get caught. !!!

Swan and Dolphin are NOT Disney hotels, so no, you can not pool hop to those locations.

Thanks!!

I didn't think so but I thought I would check with those "in the know".

That's too bad, the Dolphin has a great pool complex.

I'd say "nice" - "great" may be going a little too far:

Boardwalk pool not as "cozy," but offers the longest and arguably best overall sliding experience of any WDW resort (yes, I know some feel that clown looks "freaky" - but hey, that's part of the vintage early 20th century mid-Atlantic shorefront theming!):

Dear Beachblanket,

I respect your opinion. However, the Dolphin has several pools - not just the one you show in your picture. There is a lap pool with lane markers and another area in another pool to play volleyball. Overall, I was impressed with the offerings.

How did you find a photo of the Grotto pool without wall to wall people? The time we stayed there it was very hard to get a spot at the pool.

We were wondering the same thing during our stay in June. We had walked over to the sand beach by the Dophin one afternoon......kids played on the hammocks.....and then we walked down by the pool. It did look really nice.....waterfall looked cool; nice water slide, and water volleyball sounded like a fun family activity. It wasn't crowded at all.....plenty of chairs and very few people in the pool. (At the same time, the Boardwalk pool was packed and with not a chair near the pool to be found.) We asked the guy at the towel hut if pool hopping was allowed......he indicated not technically, but that he'd be fine with letting us in and asked how many towels we wanted! We didn't have our suits with us and by the time we went back to get them and got everyone changed, the kids decided they'd rather just go in the Boardwalk pool. Net, you could ask and see what they say!
