    Usually until 10pm to midnight, depending on resort.

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    It's been our experience that most of the main pools (and quiet pools too) are open beyond the official times, but the slide will be roped off and there is no lifeguard service (so swim at your own risk). The one exception to this is Stormalong Bay at the Yacht/Beach Club resorts; the entrance points to this pool are also roped off when lifeguards are not on duty.

    The pools are usually open from around 6am till 12am. Lifeguard hours are usually 10am till 8pm or 10pm based upon season. 10pm hours are normally spring break and summer. When there are no lifeguards at the pools, all water attractions and water slides are closed, netted up and turned off.

    Thank you, that is just the info I was looking for. If we can use the pool in the evening I won't mind that the slides are roped off. It will be nice just to lounge around after a day in the parks and soak my feet.

    The pools usually stay open until 10 pm or
    12 pm. The lifeguards go off duty around 7 pm
    at least I think that is right but you can swim at
    your own risk after that. Someone can correct
    me if I am wrong.

    Good info!! This is one of the things that makes staying off-site more desirable. When my ex-wife and I went to WDW in 1990, we stayed off site at a place where the pool was open 24/7. That was nice. We would not get in until well after midnight, but we would head to the pool until 2 or 3 AM. It was very nice!!

    I was always under the impression that you can use the pools & hot tubs 24/7 as long as you are not disruptive to other guests and follow pool deck rules (screaming, running around, using glass containters, etc). We have used both late at night and were never asked to leave.

    How late at night did you go? I will be going off season in 19 days. We plan on using evening EMH most nights, which means the park or parks are closing around 11 or 12. Only AK closes at 8 on EMH night and we are having a late dinner that night.

    Oh I just thought of another question, how late are the food courts open if we want to refill our mugs?

    We will only be at Pop for the first night, CBR for the rest of the week. Is it midnight at CBR as well?

    We were probably there between midnight & 1 and I am pretty sure I have seen people in there later.
