Define "Resort Guest".

And even if it did, if I'm at the GF eating, shopping or just looking around am I not a Guest.
Resort Guest: applies to one who is staying at a WDW Resort hotel with a current registration and Key to the World card that identifies them as such. This does not apply to those sneaking into the resort to 'visit' their friend/family overnight or to use resort amenities.

Day Guest: someone who is visting a resort and/or park for the day but will not be residing within a Disney owned and operated Resort hotel for that day/night. [Park Day Guest: one who has presented valid entry media for a specific park on a specific day.]

SG: one who thinks that the sign or policy could not possibly apply to me, cause "I am special".

BTW, we are 47 sq miles of an international entertainment resort.

Marked down to 43 sq miles after deannexing Celebration, or so I've been told.

Wikipedia says 47 but I thought it was around 42 now. Wasn't sure about the Sq miles so I averaged.

Also I would think they would have to de annex Golden Oak to keep the way the Reedy Creek Improvement District works.

Can't remember where I saw it, but they are deannexing Golden Oaks.

My dad always has told us to stay on the resort grounds. When we go again, we plan to stay at the Pop Century.

I believe the moderate resorts have the play grounds. I never saw them at the value resorts.

Each of the Values have a small playground, though they're pretty tucked away out of the high-traffic areas.

Pop's is between the Food Court and 1970's Building 10. And I know Music's is between Calypso 10 and Jazz 9 near the parking lot. Not sure about the other two All-Stars.

I have not seen theme. I know where the bar is near the main pool. I will have to check that out next time.

In Oct, we stayed at The Regal Sun. That place was different. We had the view of tha parking lot. There was 3 pools. Also, they claim there was a play ground and other activites, but we did not see them. I am guessing we were on the wrong side of the building.

Fine, I'll be the old curmudgeon. I care. I paid for that particular resort. Why should you and your kids get to use its amenities without paying? If I paid to stay there, and you didn't, but my kid can't do X because your kid is doing it? Damn straight I care. A lot.

Hey, you kids, get off my lawn! Gol darn ya! :oscar:
