Complimentary pool hopping has long been advertised as one of the selling features of Disney Vacation Club Membership. While staying at Walt Disney World Resort using points, members and their guests are permitted to use most of the other Disney Vacation Club and Resort hotel pools in addition to the pool at the resort hotel in which they’re staying.
Seems like a nice little perk. However, the list of resorts excluded from pool hopping privileges appears to be getting longer over time. The recently renovated Silver Creek Springs Pool and Hidden Springs Pool at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are the latest pools to be added to the list of pool hopping exclusions.
List of Exclusions:
- Silver Creek Springs Pool and Hidden Springs Pool at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
- Bay Cove Pool at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Uzima Pool and Samawati Springs Pool at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
- Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts
- Leisure pool at Disney’s Beach Club Villas
- Lava Pool and leisure pool at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- Pools at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
