POP and AoA

kpolo · 08-03-2012

hello
does anyone know if y can walk from POP to AoA? And how long of a walk is it?

**DisneyTeacher** · 08-03-2012

Yes you can. I've not actually walked between the two but I'm guessing it's maybe 10 minutes depending on where you're starting and walking to.

If you weren't aware, AofA was originally supposed to be the other half of Pop. So it's right across the bridge.

From the furthest part of Art to the furthest part of POP, it's about a 15minute walk. As said above, it was originally suppose to be the other section of POP. Be aware that soon (no definite date yet) you will need a room key to enter the Art's pool area. They are going to cut that off to pool hopper from POP. Just a heads up.

I heard they had attack dogs guarding the pool area. Are you saying they are JUST going to go with the electric fence?

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying. No, a Cast Member told me that once the resort is open in full they you will have to show a resort room key to enter the pool area. I guess in fairness to the people who are staying there, it should be that way? Who knows if it's even true. I guess we will all wait and see. I was just putting it out there.

Of course we can still pool hop to all the other resorts.

I don't know how well it is enforced, because I don't use the pools, however, I believe that you are only allowed to use the pool at the particular resort where you are staying. I think the only exception is that PORS and POFQ may use each others pools because they are really sister resorts. Perhaps I am mistaken on this, and I know someone more knowledgeable will respond.

I think cubsblue was joking.

I stayed at the Polynesian Resort and my best friend was at the Grand Floridian and we used their pool. We never had any issues and it wasn't locked.

Those are also allowed since Poly doesn't have a Hot Tub. We were told by the front desk to go to GF when we wanted to take a hot soak on a cool night. Getting over there wasn't a problem, coming back dripping and cold was. Didn't seem like it was worth it to us to do it again.

The only real examples of shared pools are the three All Stars, the two Port Orleans, Swolphin, and Yacht/Beach (which is really the same hotel).
I honestly don't see any reason to stop AoA and Pop guests from sharing pools.
It's not like one of them has a "Stormalong Bay" mini waterpark. Both resorts in question are value resorts that don't really have extra features on their pools.

To the walk between, I think if you really took your time, it would take 10 minutes to walk from one main building to the other. The bridge has been in place at Pop since Day One when it was planned that Pop would represent two halves of the 20th Century, or The Classic Years and The Abandoned
And Forgotten Years

and guests have always been able to cross the "Bridge to Nowhen", though their way was barred by a fence once they were on the other side.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
