Hey Howdy Hey, Elizabeth!
You've got a friend in me here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, so thanks for bringing your great question. As a child, nothing said "vacation" more than hopping in a swimming pool, so I definitely understand wanting to take a dip when you vacation to the Disneyland Resort.
I'm happy to let you know that pools of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels are open all year round and are heated to warm 82 degrees. Keep in mind that the outside temperatures in December can still get fairly chilly so you will want to bring some extra clothes to the pools for when you get out of the water!
I love staying on property at the Disneyland Resort, because the perks are fantastic. You are going to love your Extra Magic Hour benefit each day to enjoy the parks with the shortest wait times for popular attractions. Plus, these hotels offer some of the best dining outside of the parks. My favorites are Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, GCH Craftsman Grill, and Napa Rose. Each of the three hotels also offer amazing
Character Dining options.
I hope this helps. Please return if you have any other questions, and have a Fantasmic day!
