You must present your MagicBand or valid Disney Vacation Club Membership Card to use the other Resort hotel pools.
If the pool you are visiting reaches capacity, you may be asked to leave in order to accommodate Guests of that Resort hotel. Please check with a host or hostess at the front desk of the Resort you wish to visit before you go to find out about pool-access availability.
