Hey howdy hey, Aaron!
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about recreational offerings at
Walt Disney World Resort. It looks like your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just a couple of short months away - are you ready to have the Rootin'-est Tootin'-est time!? You chose a fantastic time to visit because you'll catch the grand finale of the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration. Your favorite Disney pals have donned their best party attire, the beautiful
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection has been scattered across the theme parks, and the theme park icons have been transformed into
Beacons of Magic. The magic is calling!
Aaron, of all of the many
Sports and Recreation offerings at Walt Disney World Resort, pickleball doesn't seem to be the most popular, but not to worry - you've got a friend in me! I'm happy to inform you that while no pickleball courts can be found at the Disney Resort hotels, you can
check out pickleball equipment at the Community Hall at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village or at Conch Flats Community Hall or Hank's Rent 'N Return at
Disney's Old Key West Resort and play on the tennis courts. Disney Vacation Club Members can rent tennis and pickleball equipment free of charge, while a small fee applies for all other Guests. Appropriate tennis shoes and attire are required for participants. The courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis to all Disney Resort hotel Guests, even if they are not staying at one of these specific Resort hotels, so get your pickleball paddle ready and "Reach for the Sky!"
I hope that this is the news you were hoping for, Aaron. I wish you the most magical and memorable visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Please feel free to drop by planDisney again with any additional vacation planning questions you may have - we're here to help!
To infinity and beyond,
Lauren
