Well, well..I must say this is quite an interesting debate. Regardless of the opinions stated previously I must say that I truly believe the reasoning behind anyone feeling that because they are staying in a higher priced hotel that anyone staying in a lesser priced resort does not deserve to swim there is ELITISM, pure and simple, be it subconscious or otherwise. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford and stay at the Polynesian when we visit WDW every year. I do not waste any time wondering if any of the people around me are actually (gasp!!!!!!!) staying at another Disney resort but actually have the audacity to be swimming in MY pool! I have never had my resort I.D. checked for any reason. I would consider it extremely offensive if a Polynesian Cast Member ever asked to see my resort I.D. while I was sitting around the pool. If the individual Disney resorts will allow me to buy merchandise in their shops, eat in their restaurants, etc. I don't think it will kill anyone if I jump in the damned pool. For the record, I've never "pool-hopped", but I think some of you folks need to get over the whole thing. I suppose pool hopping to the Carribbean is ok if you are staying at the Grand Floridian but not vice versa. Sounds like a load of snobby BS to me. Justify it any way you wish. Sorry, just had to get that off of my chest..........
