Using other resorts pools?

[Forensicmom]

We are planning to stay at the Wilderness Lodge and was wondering if we are allowed to use any of the other resorts pools, etc?

I'm not sure we will even want to or have time to but my 12 year old daughter had her heart set on going to the beach (we were planning a trip to the Caribbean before we decided on Disney). I read that WL has a beach but you can't swim.

Technically speaking, you are only permitted to swim in the pools of the resort you are staying at. However, the only pool that I know of that is policed regularly is Stormalong Bay at the Y&BC.

Just hop in the car and drive to the real beach. It is only an hour away.

It's called pool-hopping and it's not allowed. Sorry!

Each Disney resort is run as a separate entity, and their amenities are offered only to guests of that resort. So it would be like staying at the Radisson and walking over to the Hilton and using their pool because it's nicer.

No, you can't use other pools unless you are a DVC member staying on points at a DVC resort and pool hopping hasn't been blacked out. The Atlantic Ocean is about two hours away. The Gulf Coast is about two hours away,

I'm sure a mod will close this topic soon because this kind of topics always get very nasty.

Sorry, as a guest of WL, you have access to the main and quiet pools at WL. Disney's policy is that pools are for registered guests of that resort only. Please see our Pool Use FAQ at the top of this board, and feel free to post on that thread if you have any additional questions.

BTW, it's not just WL......swimming is not allowed at any of the Disney resort beaches, because of the possibility of harmful organisms in the water.
