Hello there, Shawn!
Welcome to planDisney! It’s always a great day when I can help out a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member - thanks for asking a question about DVC Member perks.
In the past, Disney Vacation Club Members had the unique privilege of pool hopping, allowing them to swim at pools at other DVC Resorts. Unfortunately, this benefit has not been available for a few years. I recently spoke with Member Services, who confirmed that there are currently no updates or plans regarding the return of pool hopping. However, an exception to this policy exists for Guests staying at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas. Guests staying at Jambo House and Kidani can swim in the resorts’ respective pools. On a trip earlier this year, my daughter and I took advantage of the pools at both resorts with the goal of comparing water slides (Kidani won by a landslide! It’s one of our favorite slides).
I have good news for you though, Shawn. If you're a pool enthusiast, 2025 is quickly approaching meaning the
Water Park benefit is right around the corner! Guests staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can enjoy admission to a Walt Disney World Water Park on check-in day! To enter, you'll need your
Disney band,
Disney MagicMobile Pass or a Key to the World Card. My family is so excited to take advantage of this offer during our next trip to Walt Disney World Resort.
I hope this information is helpful to your vacation planning, Shawn. If you have any other DVC or planning questions, please visit us again at
planDisney. We'd love to help!
Welcome Home,
Candace
