Disney Vacation Club recently updated its policies regarding members "hopping" to other Walt Disney World resort pools. The most noteworthy change is the statement that the Bay Cove Pool at the Contemporary's Bay Lake Tower is excluded from all pool hopping priviledges. Bay Cove Pool joins the pools at Disney's Beach Club Villas and Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas on the restricted list.
You and any Guests staying with you at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's
Contemporary Resort, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, Disney's Beach
Club Villas, Disney's BoardWalk Villas, Disney's Old Key West Resort,
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, Disney's Vero Beach Resort,
or The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge are permitted to use other
Disney Vacation Club and Walt Disney World® Resort hotel pools (in
addition to the pool at the resort hotel at which you are staying) if
they are not at capacity. If the pool you are visiting reaches
capacity, you may be asked to leave in order to accommodate Guests of
that resort hotel. Please check with a Host or Hostess at the Front
Desk of the resort hotel you wish to visit before you go to find out
about pool-access availability. You must present your current "Key
to the World" card with your "DVC Member" designation on it to use the
other resort hotel pools.
Pool hopping is not available at Bay Cove Pool at Bay Lake Tower at
Disney's Contemporary Resort, Uzima Pool and Samawati Springs Pool at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Stormalong Bay and the leisure pools
at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. In addition, this
restriction includes the leisure pools at these two resort hotels.
There are no exceptions to this policy.
As a reminder, during times of high occupancy, please be mindful of the
limited number of pool chairs available, and refrain from leaving
towels or personal items on unoccupied pool chairs.
Resort hotel pools may become unavailable from time to time due to
capacity limitations. Due to the high occupancy that is expected,
Disney Vacation Club Members and any Guests staying with them may not
pool hop during the following dates*:
* July 1-5, 2009
* September 4-7, 2009
* November 23-29-, 2009
* December 12, 2009 - January 3, 2010
*Other restricted dates may be added based on projected pool capacity.
