Pool Hopping

[DisDee]

Can anyone tell me about the pool-hopping perk available to owners and renters? Thanks!

Is the pool-hopping perk available to renters?

No, pool hopping is not available to renters (only to the member and guests staying with him/her), but some renters it anyway.

OP: Here is the info from the DVC Members' Website:

Pool Hopping Information for 2006
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 26 - 29, 2006
* July 1 - 8, 2006
* September 1 - 4, 2006
* November 20 - 26, 2006
* December 17, 2006 - January 2, 2007

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

Best wishes -

I always worry this perk will be taken away. While I haven't used it, I plan too when the kids get older. Afternoons are naptime now. When the boys are older, I imagine a nice dip in the pool midday at the closest Resort would be very welcome. Hope this perk stays.

I'm surprised it's lasted this long.

Thanks for answering my question. One more reason to purchase DVC.

Dean...I think that tells you why it's lasted this long.

Doubtful, I still feel it's days are numbered.
