    We are looking to plan our first trip as DVC Members in September. I was looking at resort/ pool hopping , which is not allowed, however I saw that there may be an exception for DVC Members using pools between certain resorts. Is this true?

    Hi McKenzie,

    Welcome home, and welcome to planDisney!

    Thank you for bringing your question to us today. I love getting the chance to help fellow Disney Vacation Club Members make the most of their membership. My family and I have been enjoying the flexibility of our membership for several years now, and it has improved our Disney vacations in countless ways. I am so happy you will now get to experience this as new members, and you'll get to stay magical year after year!

    Wow, the Disney Vacation Club properties all have such brilliantly themed pools, smaller quiet pools, and brilliant facilities around them. My absolute favourite pools have to be those at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Old Key West Resort. McKenzie, I am sorry to tell you that pool hopping is currently suspended, and there are no details on when this benefit may come back.

    Now that you are a member, one way to try out other resort pools and facilities is to consider split stays. This involves booking some of your vacation at one resort and the rest of your stay in another, or others! One time we had a reservation at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and then moved over to Disney's Wilderness Lodge. This allowed us to enjoy the Disney Parks closer to the resorts we were staying at to reduce our travel time. Writing this has reminded me just how brilliant the pool was at Kidani Village, too!

    I know this wasn't the answer you were hoping for, McKenzie, but I hope it helps as you plan your first vacation to Walt Disney World as Disney Vacation Club Members! If you have any further questions as you learn about your new membership, please reach out to me. I'd love to help any way I can.

    Have a magical day!
