resort gyms etc?

[col]

hi everyone, whatever disney resort that you have/are staying in can you use the other resorts gyms and pools and stuff like that, coz ive just been thinking about it? for example in staying at the pop century and say that i wanted to use the boardwalk gym- would i be able to use it and i know that i would have to pay for it!

I cant see whay any one would travel all the way to Disney and bother with a gym, isnt the walking 14 hours a day enough exercise? But then Im a fat git.

i just asked on the off chance - i look at it as an experience, but i do agree with you about the parks but i enjoy doing that walking around them thats the best part of my holiday.you get exercise and have fun at the same time.

As I understand it the "official" line is that facilities are for the use of that resorts guests. Unless of course its a Spa treatment. Nothing really to stop you using them if you get to the resort using Disney transport.

That said I dont even recall seeing the gym at Wilderness lodge last year

Sorry to be drifting from the original question here, but it is of a similar nature.

We are staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge next year for the first time. This resort has a gym/health center - is there a charge for using it, or is it a perk of staying at a deluxe??

Thanks

hi, you dont live far from me (just thought i would add that). i think you do have to pay for the gym aswell as spa treatment. im staying at the pop century in december 2005 and im going to see what all the other resorts offer. ps i wish i was staying in the animal kingdom lodge it looks gorgeous.

It seems that members of the Vacation Club can use other Vacation club hotel gyms free of charge--- for example we stayed at Old Key West Resort and were able to go to the gyms at The Boardwalk and Saratoga Springs.

i could never and i repeat never go to another resort and use there pool then get back on the bus all wet coz you would have to either go toa park or downtown disney to get a bus back to your resort.

ive just got one question: when you use the gym does that include a facial etc, because that sounds really nice if its only $12. ps thanks for all that info.

The $12 covers only the use of the fitness center itself, using the weight machines and such. Any Massage, Facial, or Body Treatment are separately priced, but will include free use of the fitness center.

Enjoy! :sohappy:

Col, I think JPVonDrake meant the $12 fee for use of the Fitness Center is waived to those paying for Spa Treatments.

No $12 Facials here! http://www.relaxedyet.com/services.shtml

I think I need to correct some info here...

If you stay at one of the Resorts that offer a health center, you are allowed to use it free of charge (any deluxe resort offers one). If you are a guest at another resort you can pay to use the services the health club offers.
