2. Best Time Capsule Playground

Boulder Ridge Cove Pool at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney Resort Boulder Ridge PoolEver swim in the woods? Nestled among pine trees and the rustic Boulder Ridge Villas reminiscent of 1860s railroad hotels, taking a dip in this pool is like swimming in a forest. Keep the tranquility going as you soak in a whirlpool spa or relax in a secluded cabana.

3. Most Jaw-Dropping Backdrop

The Dig Site at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Disney Dig Site PoolAdventurous swimmers will want to check out the Lost City of Cibola pool featuring a 50-foot pyramid with water streaming down its steps. Or take a wild ride on the 123-foot-long waterslide – but watch out for the spitting Jaguar animal spirit!

4. Most Ahhh-some Whirlpool Spa

Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Disney Stormalong Bay PoolWelcome to a water wonderland!

5. Best Excuse to Talk Like a Pirate

Fuentes del Morro Pool at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Diseny Resorts Fuentes del Morro PoolArrr, young buccaneers will get a kick out of this pirate’s paradise surrounded by an authentic-looking colonial Spanish fortress. Take a ride on one of the two waterslides – don’t worry, the cannons only shoot water – and explore the shipwreck play area with mini slides, a crow’s nest, and a barrel of laughs that’ll drench you!

6. Best Tropical Paradise

Uzima Springs Pool at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney Uzima Springs PoolRide. Splash. Repeat. Settle in for the afternoon, because kids are going to want to ride the wild 67-foot waterslide again and again. Meanwhile, over in the not-so-splashy zone, the sloping entry point, similar to that of a natural beach, makes this tropical oasis pool perfect for tiny tykes just starting to get their feet wet.

7. Best for Good Ol’ Fashioned Fun

Ol’ Man Island at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside Disney Ol Man Island PoolChannel your inner Tom Sawyer and take your kids out on a real adventure on this 3-acre island sporting an old-fashioned swimmin’ hole, a sawmill slide, and even an authentic catch-and-release fishin’ pond.

8. Wildest Waterslide

Lava Pool at Disney’s Polynesian Resort Disney Lava PoolYour reward for climbing up the gigantic volcano, the centerpiece of this tropical-themed pool? A thrilling ride down a 142-foot-long waterslide! You’ll lava it!

9. Most Relaxing Hot Springs

Treehouse Villas Pool at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Disney Treehouse Villas PoolGet your leisure on in a secluded, soothing pool (with a whirlpool spa on the side) before retiring to your elevated three-bedroom lodge nestled amongst trees. Talk about a bird’s-eye view.

10. Most Fun for Young Animal Fans

Uwanja Camp at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney Unwanja Camp PoolPrepare to get wet! Unsuspecting visitors will get squirted, splashed and sprayed by sneaky African flowers, dragons, a leaky water tower, geysers, and more. Three fun zones offer activities geared toward different age levels, so little ones can unscramble animal images while older kids can soak each other with water cannons.
