Disney Pool Hopping: Complete Rules & Resort Pool Access Guide

Tried sneaking into Disney's Grand Floridian pool with my Art of Animation resort key but got stopped at the gates. I'm staying at one resort but heard some of the other Disney hotels have amazing pools. Can I just wander over to check them out, or are they pretty strict about keeping people at their own resort pools?

Also curious if there are any loopholes - like if I have dinner reservations at another resort, does that give me pool privileges? Just trying to maximize our pool time without getting kicked out by security!…more

Can You Store Pool Chemicals in a Deck Box? Safety Guide

I opened my deck box yesterday to grab pool shock and noticed a strong chemical smell — did I mess up storing chlorine tablets and pH adjusters out here?

I know chemicals can be finicky, but these deck boxes seem pretty sturdy. Anyone know if this is actually safe or if I'm asking for trouble? Don't want to accidentally create some kind of chemical reaction disaster in my backyard!…more

How to Play Pool Games: Water Activities & Swimming Fun

Staring at another pool full of bored guests for the third time this summer and I'm done letting everyone just float around doing nothing. The pool store mentioned there are tons of games we could play, but I have no idea where to start.

Most of our guests are decent swimmers, and we usually have at least 3-4 people over at a time. I've heard of Marco Polo but that's about it! Are there other classic games we should know about? And what about using pool toys - I see all these floating basketball hoops and volleyball nets but don't know if they're worth it.

Any suggestions for games that would work well for a group? I want to make sure everyone has a great time in our new pool!…more

Can You Store Pool Chemicals in Garage? Safety Guide

Opened my garage door this morning and spotted my pool chemicals stacked right against my car bumper — pretty sure they weren't positioned there yesterday. New pool owner here and I'm trying to figure out where to store all these chemicals I just bought. My garage seems like the obvious choice since I have some shelving space, but I'm worried about temperature swings and whether it's actually safe. We get pretty hot summers here and the garage can get up to maybe 90-100°F on really hot days. Is this going to cause problems with chlorine tablets, shock, pH adjusters, and algaecide? Also wondering about keeping them away from other garage stuff like gas cans and lawn mower. Any advice would be really appreciated - still learning all this pool stuff!…more
