Which Resort Pool is Worth Hopping To? - The DIS Discussion Forums

lodgelady · 05-18-2013, 05:55 PM

We will be on our anniversary trip in a couple of weeks. Planning to RELAX more than run around. We are staying at OKW this time and considering spending an afternoon or two at another resort pool to hang out and enjoy a drink and snack at the pool bar. Just not sure which ones might be worthwhile.

The Poly is my absolute favorite: view of fireworks, great bar, fun pool, just lovely.

We have also enjoyed the feature pool at Cornonado Springs-- the one with the pyramid.

SSR's feature pool is nice, but it tends to be crowded.

We like the Grand Floridian pools.

I thought pool hopping wasn't allowed anymore?

It is allowed for DVC members

. There are certain restrictions and black out dates.

My daughter and I plan to hop to The poly pool and GF pool in June. We will be staying at BLT & BCV.

We are looking forward to it.

We like to hop to the Poly pool the most - love the beach and the slide

FWIW, one of our fave pool areas so far has been the Turtle Pond area quiet pool. So you might not have to go anywhere.

Other than that we love the Boardwalk pool. The idea of clown *anything else* freaks me out and always has (even before Stephen King terrified us all), but the clown at the Luna Park pool just cracks me up.

CSR is worth consideration.

The clown pool was really fun for our kids, but not sure I would want to spend my adult time looking at him!

I did hear that Turtle Pond is really nice- thanks for the reminder!
