Hello, Diane! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am thrilled that you and your family will soon be joining the MAGIC that a
Walt Disney World brings
forth. Disney's
Pop Century Resort is a great place to stroll back in time to some of the biggest fads of past centuries. I truly love this resort and I am quite sure you will love it, too!
You are correct in that "pool hopping" is not allowed and pools are only reserved to guests staying at that resort and this includes pool activities, too. However, you will be happy to know that resort activities are open to other guests from other Walt Disney World Resorts. Upon check-in, make sure to ask your Cast Member about any activities that may be going on around other resorts.
Diane's Tip of the Day: If you are needing a day away from the parks, I highly recommend visiting
Disney Springs for some unique dining and shopping options.
Have a MAGICAL day and "SEE YOU REAL SOON!"
~Diane G.
