How late are Disney hotel pools open?

For the most part, you can expect that the main pool at your resort will be open from at a minimum from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. In hot weather, there are typically longer hours (earlier and later) for the main pool; longer hours typically means 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., extensions beyond this are rare.

But let's get down to business. Unfortunately, Harley, the pools at each Disney hotel are reserved exclusively for the Guests staying at that particular hotel.

Feature or main pool hours are 10 am until 10 pm or 11 pm daily, depending upon the season. (Expect warmer months to see longer hours.) Leisure or quiet pools are once again open 24 hours per day. As always, operating hours are subject to change without notice (mostly due to weather).

What is this? The show must go on, and even when it is rainy, Disney World is open. Now, of course if Disney does happen to close for a weather event (like a hurricane) they will issue refunds then. But, if it is just a rainy day at Disney, the parks will remain open and no rain checks or refunds will be given.

The pools are heated throughout the year to a uniform 82 degrees Fahrenheit. You can swim in warm water even when the outdoor temperature is chiiiilly.
