It probably isn't allowed. It was our first visit to AKL and after dinner we went for a look around. Once outside, the pool just looked so darn inviting and was virtually empty - maybe three kids and a handful of adults just lounging around. So, I ran back to the car, grabbed the kids suits and in they went. We probably only spent about 30-40 minutes there and it was empty, so in my mind little to no harm done.

Honestly, I was not that impressed with the pool area. It's just a pool. An attractive area, yes, but not a highly themed pool area. And sitting pool side at AKL was the only place in WDW that I've ever been bitten by mosquitos. Odd? Not sure, but it was a hot August night, around dusk, probably prime mosquito feeding time, but the rest of the trip and any previous trip I'd never felt like I was actively swatting mosquitos like we were that night. I did wonder of the presense of the animals made a difference. Maybe they can not be as aggressive with pest control management.

Anyway kids enjoyed the swim and we'll go back to Boma for sure.

Thanks. I was curious to see if they had changed the pool hopping rules now that DVC is there.

I agree that pool is one of our least favorites at WDW.
