Welcome to the Moms Panel, Cailin!
Using the pool facilities at a different
Walt Disney World Resort hotel, other than the one you booked, is generally not permitted (with or without
MagicBands). However, there are a few exceptions to this rule of complementary alternative pool use. For example, if the pool at your Disney Resort hotel is undergoing a refurbishment, Disney will arrange for pool privileges at another Disney Resort hotel nearby.
In addition, "pool hopping" is generally allowed between the two sister-resorts Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter and Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside. Likewise, Guests staying at any of the All-Star Disney Resort hotels may pool hop between them. For example, if you are staying at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, you will be able to enjoy the pools at both Disney's All-Star Music Resort and Disney's All-Star Sports Resort too.
When staying on Membership at any of the Disney Vacation Club Resort properties at Walt Disney World Resort, it is permitted to take advantage of complimentary alternative pool use, which provides access to:
• The pool or pools at the Disney Vacation Club Resort where the Member, and any Guests, will be staying
• Select pools at Disney Vacation Club Resorts
• Select pools at Walt Disney World Resort hotels
All of the above being said, the privilege can exclude peak periods and blackout dates. At such times, Disney reserves the right to restrict pool access only to Guests staying at a specific resort hotel. To find out about pool-access availability, please check with a Cast Member at the time of your visit.
Wishing you a splash-tastic time at the Walt Disney World Resort!
