While we love Poly, their pool itself is quite small! We like the sand and the atmosphere, especially since its the first place we ever stayed at WDW..
If the rumors hold true, they will need a new pool for sure!
The problem is that while that's what the rule states, the front desk often isn't aware of the perk at all and almost never are they aware of how busy the pool is.
Yeah, the one time we hopped, the front desk had no idea what I was talking about. I tried to follow the rules, but it's hard when no one else knows the rules.
BTW the exact same thing happened to me. It was a waste of vacation time. This time I will take the approach that it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission- at least with DVC pool hopping!
