Hello there, Colette! Thanks for bringing your question to us at planDisney.
Guests are welcome to enjoy all the amenities of their resort even after check-out time, so I think your pool plan is a great idea! After all the hustle and bustle of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, it will be so nice to spend a day relaxing at the
pool. Check out the recreation schedule at your resort. Cast Members facilitate games and activities at the pool, which is great fun if you'll have any young travelers with you. You are welcome to bring a small cooler with snacks and beverages; keep in mind that glass containers are not permitted on the pool deck. When it is time to freshen up for your flight, you'll find restroom facilities with showers and an area for changing at the feature pool, Ol'Man Island. The five quiet pools located throughout
Port Orleans Resort -- Riverside will have restroom facilities and outdoor showers for rinsing off; some quiet pools will also have a shower in the restroom area. If you'd like to enjoy lunch poolside, stop by
Muddy Rivers pool bar for sandwiches and libations.
Bell services will be able to hold your luggage for you while you enjoy your day at the pool. I always make one last stop at
Riverside Mill Food Court prior to heading home -- I like to pick up some Mickey-shaped treats to enjoy at the airport or at home.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a wonderful vacation!
Anne Marie
