Greetings Natalie!
Did you know that surveys show kids rank swimming and water parks as the number one vacation activity? Get ready to dive into the fun because Walt Disney World makes quite the splash with an estimated 267 pools and two incredible water parks! There are nearly endless splashtastic opportunities awaiting you.
You must be a registered guest at one of Disney’s fabulous resort hotels to have access to their amazing pools, like the Art of Animation’s
Big Blue Pool, the largest resort pool on property! Most pools are gated and require a resort key card for entry, so you’re guaranteed an exclusive swim experience.
If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, I recommend a day to soak up the fun at a Disney water park. These parks typically take turns in operation to keep them shipshape. For your upcoming trip,
Blizzard Beach is making waves! This 66-acre winter wonderland boasts thrilling attractions, like one of the tallest and fastest free-fall waterslides in the world. For your little one,
Tike’s Peak offers splashing good times just for preschoolers.
If a water park isn’t in the plans, don’t worry! You can still find watery adventures in the parks! At Magic Kingdom, kids can cool off at the
Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station, while EPCOT offers a smaller splash pad and the beautifully immersive
Journey of Water, inspired by Moana.
planDisney Pro Tip: Whether you’re making waves in the parks or lounging by the pool, be sure to pack a towel, swimsuit, or a change of clothes for the little ones—they WILL get wet!
Catch you on the flip side, and have a swimmingly magical vacation!
