Using pools if not a guest

\
I was just watching a vlogger who lives in Orlando post two videos Called monorail hop and swim with us. In the videos they park at Disney Springs they went swimming at Grand Flo and Comtemp and Poly but it look like they wasn’t using the main pools maybe that’s how they got in. I am not too familiar with those pools because I never stayed there. At the end of the night they showed themselves catching bus back to Disney Springs and getting in their car which is how they ended the video. So I am not surprised at all reading this post about non guest using the pools. I would post the channel but I don’t know if that is appropriate here

If they have super low views or followers, doesn't really bother me as much. It's the big vloggers who actually get free things by Disney or others that annoy me personally.
 
I would think that’s an uncommon pool to crash. There’s no mass transit nearby, just bus and it’s not adjacent to a park.granted the bus drops you right at the main pool lol. It’s a very long walk from Disney Springs parking to that pool. Plus there’s a gatehouse so you need to have a golf res or a dining res to enter if not a guest. I do agree that both slide pools do get crowded though.

I'd guess it's easy to crash by car if you claim you want to visit the DVC sales office. Also an easy walk or bus from Disney Springs.

Overall, Disney has to get a handle on the non-guest pool use at ALL pools, but especially at the deluxes. DVC and/or cash prices are too high to make the over-crowding tolerable. The pools aren't really big enough for the number of actual guests at times, let alone guests from other WDW or off-site hotels or local birthday parties and family reunions.
 
Just watched something on IG where the hack is to park free at blizzard beach and then take the busses.

I emailed DVC about the pools being overcrowded and the potential that non-resort guests are using them. Post 46 above has the details on my email and DVC’s response.
this isn’t an issue unique to Disney but it’s an issue for lots of hotel pools. The big Marriott world center over by Disney also has a giant pool complex and only one section requires wristband but the vast majority of the pool complex doesn’t.
