So pools seem to be very important for our family when we visit Disney. We've stayed at a few resorts over the years, and have noticed what seems earlier "closing" hours of the pools. We often enjoy a nighttime swim after a big day in the parks. I wasn't sure if this was a Disney thing (perhaps cost cutting?), a resort thing (different resorts have different pool hours), or a time of the year thing (although we generally always go in the summer)--but the pools seem to be closing earlier each year. Hoping someone can provide insight.
Several years ago at the AOA, the pools closed at 11pm, but it wasn't enforced the first year we went (just no life guards after 11pm). The next year it was 11pm, and no one was swimming after 11pm. We stayed at the Poly, and noticed their pool closed at 11pm. We were shocked when we stayed at the Beach Club and noticed their pool closed, even in summer, at 10pm. Now, they did have a quiet pool, and that was open 24/7. During Christmas we stayed at the Boardwalk, and the close was 8pm (I'm guessing that is just because of winter?), but again the "quiet pool" was open 24/7.
So my question is, what pools stay open the latest at Disney resorts as we plan for our summer vacation? As amazing as the Beach Club pool was, we didn't really get to use it as much as we'd hoped it closed so early last summer. Thanks!
