Everyone knows that there is a lot going on right now at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. With all of the refurbishments and construction happening, there will be some new looks and changes once everything reopens. One of those changes may be that pool hopping is no longer allowed at the Nanea Volcano Pool.
DVC News speculates that this is quite possible considering that the Polynesian Village is also getting the addition of Disney Vacation Club Villas. A small handful of pools have already had this happen, and here they are so far:
- Disney’s Art of Animation Resort – All Pools
- Bay Cove Pool – Bay Lake Tower
- Samawati Springs – Kidani Village, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas
At these locations, a MagicBand or DVC member ID card is usually needed to enter the pool area. There are also times that Cast Members will randomly ask for these things while Guests are sitting around the pool.
Now, the site does state that the Polynesian Village Resort feature pool and leisure pool will indeed not allow pool hopping anymore.
Per DVC News:
Pool hopping is available Disney Vacation Club members and their guests when using points for any Walt Disney World resort or Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. A Magic Band or DVC member ID card may be requested to confirm eligibility. Members may be asked to leave if the pool reaches capacity. Pool hopping is suspended during a series of high-occupancy blockout dates. Blockout dates for 2015 are as follows:
- January 1 – 4, 2015
- February 14 – 21, 2015
- March 21 – April 5, 2015
- June 27 – July 11, 2015
- September 5 – 7, 2015
- November 22 – 29, 2015
- December 19 – 31, 2015
