Question

If you just want to go to a resort to take pictures, visit or get pennies...do the resorts let you? I have always had ressies if we went somewhere so I wondered....

Yes...Many of the resorts have restaurants in which non-residing patrons frequent...so it's very common to the resort staff to see visitors who are not guests of the resort..I got some beautiful pics of GF the last time I was at the World...Just know that certain amenities that are for the resort guest exclusively are off limits to non guests of the resort(ie; pools)

You're welcome to visit any resort and look around. If you want to park at the resort, just tell the security guard that you'd like to take a look around and show your other resorts' ID. You may get a limited-time parking permit or you'll just be let in. We've done that a few times

It's something we often do and we've never had a problem with it. Some resorts may give you three-hour parking passes at the gate.

Resort hopping is a lot of fun, plus it helps you decide where you want to stay next time

Of course, you can go to any resort and look around. Cast members are friendly to everyone.

You betcha. you can
After Thanksgiving it is super good to see the different Christmas decorations. On top of that may resorts have good food
And drop in to each store/gift shop. They each have something unique to their resort.

We do that just about every trip. Just show your KTTW to the security guard at the gatehouse. Some of the resorts will give you a 3 hour parking pass
