![]() It’s a great option for those that don’t have annual passes, and are being a bit more money conscious still want a Disney-esqe experience. I even tried to book again for Sunday, but they were already sold out, I did rebook for a day in two weeks with my friend who is coming to visit. "It was a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend it enough. After a few hours of sun and cocktails, I showered in the locker room (which was very clean and updated), changed into other clothes and headed to the theme park. They’ve made it easy with the ability to walk up to the pool bar to order drinks or use mobile ordering from your chair for food and beverages. I stored my backpack in one of the lockers in the fitness center right beside the pool, so it wasn’t in the sun all day. I was escorted to my chair and given the rundown of everything. When I arrived, I followed the instructions (ResortPass’ pre-communication was excellent) and checked in. "For $25, I was guaranteed a reserved chair at the pool of my choosing (they have a few), access to the fitness center, pool bar and grill. ![]() It had the Swan and Dolphin resort listed as a potential place to get pool access. Ironically enough, I saw an Instagram ad pop up for ResortPass, so I checked it out. Seeing that it was going to reach almost 90 degrees last weekend, I knew a day at the parks would be way too hot to be enjoyable. Unexpectedly, Orlando is unseasonably warm. I was able to find a rental close to the theme parks, and with mild February temperatures, thought it was the perfect time to come. Being a big Disney fan (annual passholder and all) Orlando just seemed like the right place.

My colleague, Betsy Eccles, was in need of a reset recently and tested out a day pass at Walt Disney’s Swan Hotel in Orlando.

Or, you could book a day pass as part of a “staycation” closer to home, since even some hotels in metro areas such as New York City have pool day passes available. Using a resort pass, you could stay at an Airbnb or more budget hotel and then spend a day of your vacation living it up at the pool and beach of a pricier resort. It is alive and well in places like Miami and Hawaii, too, where most folks arrive by plane. However, this day pass system is far from reserved for cruisers. My family uses these sites to book resort days on cruises when we are in ports we have already explored extensively in the past. Or rather, there are websites that sell day passes to popular resorts so you can stay wherever you want, but play at the poshest pools around. ![]() If anyone reads this review in preparation to spend some time at the Tidal Cove, we highly recommend you go out of your way to find a way to sit and relax in either of the sections that Julio or Dora might be working.Editor’s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information.ĭo you have dreams of your family going down waterslides while you relax by a fancy heated pool with a cocktail, but you can’t justify a whole vacation spent paying for an expensive resort just to sit by the pool for a day or two? There’s an app for that. We were also impressed to learn that she also has two daughters working on the property as well, both of whom were a pleasure to meet as well. Not only a very good server and employee, but like Julio, just a very nice down to Earth good person. But we also wanted to mention someone very special who we just had the pleasure of meeting for the first time. For the second or third year in a row Julio Dobronski was excellent and a true pleasure to see and spend some time with during each of the three days. We were treated exceptionally well at the Tidal Cove. But we must say that this particular stay was surprisingly awesome each afternoon. We can't think of any downside, from the rooms, service, golf, and of course Giuseppe and the rest of the great staff of the Bourbon Steakhouse.every stay is pretty much always great with no complaints. We've been there many times over the past 6 or 7 years. My wife and I just returned from a quick 3 night stay at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry.
