pool hopping ?????

[sophielab1]

I've read the rules regarding pool hopping but I still have one question. If you're staying at OKW but your home resort is AKL, can you use the AKL pool? I know it is one of the pools DVC members can't pool hop at but I didn't know if being an owner there makes a difference.

No, it is only for people staying at that resort.

When it comes to DVC perks, it really doesn't matter what your home resort is. You can't pool hop to AKV/AKL or YC/BC/BCV. You can only use those pools if you are a guest at that resort. If you are staying offsite, you can't use pool hopping because you are not staying at a WDW resort.

Why is that? I can understand not being allowed to use stormalong bay, but AKL pool doesn't make sense. I would think that the pool At the boardwalk resort would have restrictions.

We don't make the rules, DVC makes the rules. It may have been because there is only one pool at AKV.

As for Luna Park, who in their right mind would want to swim with IT?

Really, I think it's about the only thing they can do to try to control the guest:animal ratio in the pool area.

I think the idea is that they want to limit the number of guests in the pool so as not to disturb the animals. There is a savannah that is adjacent to the pool, and if they allowed pool-hopping, they may have issues with noise. This won't really be an issue with the pool/water play area for Kidani Village, but as it's slated to be more water park-ish, I imagine they'll restrict that as well (like BCV).

Since the only animals at the Boardwalk are of the fiberglass Circus sort, I don't think they're too worried. And *noone* is going to scare the clown away! (unfortunately )

How many times have you been in AK and wished there was a pool close by to take a dip? I know I'd hop the bus over.....

I was really hoping someone would scare the clown away. He is very scary.

Talking about clowns, did you see the Superbowl ad with the baby and the clown. Very funny punchline.

Yeah, "IT" looks freaky, but the 200+ foot downhill run behind him is the best slide in all of DVC!!!
