Get ready to splash, slide, and soak in the joy as we dive into Disney World’s magical swimming pools.
The Lava Pool at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort – A Tropical Oasis
Picture this: you’re lounging by a towering volcano, sipping a fruity drink with a little umbrella, and surrounded by a lush tropical paradise. With the sounds of a waterfall in the background, you gaze out and see Cinderella’s Castle in the distance. That’s what awaits you at the Lava Pool in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! This pool is the epitome of relaxation and the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. For a little thrill, take a plunge down the 142-foot waterslide that winds it way through the volcano.
Feel the Relax Set in with the Hot Tub
Last winter, I had the pleasure of staying at the Polynesian Village Resort with my family. We couldn’t get enough of the hot tub! With the views of the Grand Floridian in the distance, it took relaxation to the next level! It’s the small details like these that make Disney pools so special.

If you’re a water lover like me, Stormalong Bay is where you’ll want to be! This pool complex, shared by Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, is a water wonderland like no other.
Lazy River and Shipwreck-Themed Water Slide – Double the Fun
A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of staying at the Beach Club Resort, and Stormalong Bay quickly became my happy place. Floating along the lazy river with the sun shining down on me was pure bliss. And let me tell you, the shipwreck-themed water slide had me feeling like a kid again. You’re never too old to enjoy a thrilling water slide!
Fireworks with a Splash – Best Seat in the House
Picture this: you’ve just wrapped up a day at EPCOT, and you’re heading back to your resort. As you approach Stormalong Bay, you hear the distant sound of fireworks. You hurry to the pool area and, lo and behold, you get to watch EPCOT’s mesmerizing fireworks from the comfort of your float. It’s like being in a fairytale!
The Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort – A Splash-Tastic Adventure
Get ready to dive into the world of Disney-Pixar at the Big Blue Pool in Disney’s Art of Animation Resort! Themed around Finding Nemo, this larger-than-life pool will have you feeling like you’re swimming alongside your favorite fishy friends.
Underwater Speakers – Music to Your Ears
I remember my first time swimming in the Big Blue Pool; I was blown away by the underwater speakers! It’s like having a private concert while you swim. The tunes from Finding Nemo really set the mood, and I found myself humming along as I splashed around.
“Schoolyard Sprayground” – Fun for the Little Ones
For families with young kids, the “Schoolyard Sprayground” is a major win. My niece and nephew had a blast running through the playful fountains and dancing under the water jets. It’s a fantastic spot for kids to cool off and burn some energy. For a little extra relaxation, you could grab an adult beverage from Pedal Pool Bar to slip while your little one splash.
The Uzima Pool at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Safari Pool Serenity
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you can experience the magic of an African safari right at the Uzima Pool! Surrounded by lush greenery and featuring a stunning waterfall, this pool is an oasis of calm and beauty.
67-Foot-Long Waterslide – A Wild Ride
While I appreciate the serene atmosphere, the kid in me couldn’t resist trying out the 67-foot-long waterslide. Trust me; it’s a wild ride! Zooming down with the thrill of the slide and the picturesque views of the savannah made it an unforgettable experience.
A Safari Pool Experience – Spotting Animals Poolside
One morning, as I sipped my coffee by the pool, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Giraffes and antelopes were grazing just a short distance away! The Uzima Pool’s unique location near the savannah allows for incredible animal sightings while you relax and soak up the sun. Talk about a one-of-a-kind pool experience!
