Hi Billy,
If it's a cool float on a lazy river you want, Stormalong Bay at
Disney's Yacht Club Resort is part beach scene, part water wonderland and so much fun.
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park offers
Cross Country Creek where you can chill, float, soak, and relax.
As for which resort hotels are closest, the thing to know is that
Walt Disney Resort Hotels are grouped into areas based on how close they are to one of the 4 theme parks or destinations.
The Magic Kingdom Park Area Resort Hotels include Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Disney's Contemporary Resort, and The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.
Epcot Area Resort Hotels include Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, and Walt Disney World Swan Hotel.
Additional Walt Disney World Resort Hotels are located near Disney´s Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, and Wide World of Sports Resort Area.
The free and convenient Disney Transport Motorcoaches run at regular intervals. Water taxis and ferryboats make for another fun way to get around. And of course, the Walt Disney World Monorail System is a must-do.
Disney's Magical Express is another great, and free, transportation choice for those traveling to and from Orlando International Airport.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
