Curious... Any photos of the pool fences at Pop seen floating around?

I've stayed at POP a number of times and don't ever recall seeing Pool fences.

AOA does and you need a key to enter the Pool area but POP is open to everyone.

There is a fence around the bowling pin pool...we stayed in the 50s section last month...don't have a picture, sorry.

Curious as to why you would ask?

Haven't been down to WDW in a couple years and read that fencing went up at most, if not all the resorts recently. Interested to see how close they were implemented to the actual pools / tables inside or tables outside of the fenced area. My daughter and I get a lot of swimming / pool / relax time in when we're down there. No big just curious.

I was at the All Stars Movies last November and the fence was out far enough so that there was quite a lot of room for lounges, chairs, and tables.

We were at Pop two weeks ago,staying in the 60's section. I didn't take any pictures of the fence, but it wasn't intrusive in any way, and blended in nicely with the decor. But they lock it at 10:00 pm. No mores late night dips in the pool after a long day at the parks!

Yeah there weren't any fences in Oct 2014 when I was there last but the big "pool closed" signs were displayed all around the pools. Kind of a bummer, late night swimming is always a blast. Relaxing!

Let me guess, a child drowned and mommy sued?

A child did drown at Art of Animation last year. That may have some thing to do with it.

Fences around pools are pretty standard and are the law in most places. If a fence prevents one child every 5 years (or whatever) from drowning, then I think that's awesome.

I have a feeling that its more to keep pool hoppers out than preventing accidents, but I see it as a win-win. I believe the first fences went up around Y&B Club, presumably for pool hoppers and AoA to keep Pop guests from doing the same.

Here's a few. Not specifically of the fence but maybe it'll help.

Ha! Perfect! I love how seamlessly that purple blends in to its surroundings. Seriously, thank you. We always try to stay in the 80's section, building 7 because it's pretty quiet. The fencing is a little obnoxious but it is safe and isn't that horrible.

Kid drowned at Pop while I was there in March of '13.

It's actually a FL law (and many other places) that pools have fences - but the existing pools were grandfathered into the law. As they refurbish the pools they are required to add fences.
