When I stayed at Walt Disney World resort hotel a LONG time ago.....?

When I stayed at Walt Disney World a LONG time ago, they let you go to any of the resort pools. Do they still let you do this within your category. I don't believe they had categories back then. Also they had sprites (little boats) you could drive on the lake. Do they still have those?When I stayed at Walt Disney World resort hotel a LONG time ago.....?
Disney prefers you not to go to other resorts to use the pools. This changed about 3 years ago. Also they have updated the small boats on the seven seas lagoon. They made them faster with bigger motors.When I stayed at Walt Disney World resort hotel a LONG time ago.....?
No, they still have the little boats though, and for instance if you stay at the All Star Movies Hotel, you can swim at any of the All Star pools.
You can check that online...(thanks to VP Gore who was kind enough to invent the internet ha)...everything is at your fingertips.
You are encouraged to visit the other resorts for meals, but Disney does not allow youto go to other resorts to use the pools. This changed about 3 years ago. There are signs posted. Also the small boats are still there. They are so much fun.
you are still allowed to pool hop, except for beach and yacht club members are only allowed in those pools no one from other hotels are able to go to those, but beach and yacht club guests are allowed to go to other pools if they want. and yes the hotels on 7 seas lagoon still have the little boats!! have fun!!
Yes they have both still! Ur never too old to go back there. I love it!
They frown upon pool hopping, but would never actually kick you out of a pool. The only one you cannot use it the Yacht Club/Beach Club pool. They use wrist bands, so if you aren't a guest you can't get in. But that is the only pool where they enforce or even keep track of who is using it. Any other pool you are okay to use, just don't come out and tell anyone you aren't staying there. The Poly is my favorite.





And as answered above, yes they still have the little boats you can rent. They have them in several places around Disney World, including the seven seas lagoon.
Currently, you are allowed to swim at:





1. Any pools at your resort (some have several), and


2. Any pools at a 'sister' resort (being the same category doesn't automatically make it a sister resort, and not all resorts have 'sisters').





Based on comments that I've read here, they DO enforce this, and not necessarily nicely.





As far as the little boats, all except the value resorts have them (though the adjacent lagoon/waterway might not be worth it for some of them). Sounds like the Seven Seas Lagoon upgraded theres (the best place to do it anyway, much, much more to see and more space).
I dont know if they have catagories or not. I do no that the Grand Floridian hotel and the Swan and Dolphin have boats and pattleboats for you to rent and ride
You are NOT supposed to pool hop, except all of the All Star Resorts can use any All Star pools. If you did it anyway, will they catch you? Probably not, unless they get really busy and start checking ID's.
