Hiya Heather,
Welcome to planDisney! If you ask any planDisney panelist, they will all tell you the same thing; nothing beats an afternoon by a Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel pool. After walking multiple miles daily at the Theme Parks, I love dipping my sore legs in the water and enjoying a mocktail (or two).
As I'm sure you know, beginning in January of next year through April, the Fuentes del Morro Pool at
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort will be unavailable due to routine maintenance. I reached out to a Cast Member, and unfortunately, this maintenance also extends to the splash pad. The five leisure pools will still be open, however, so you can still enjoy a less busy afternoon plunge.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of this news, Heather; I hope you found it helpful. I know the splash pad will not be available, but that means you can make a room request for a room without considering its proximity to Fuentes del Morro Pool. I've been told one of the best places to request is the Jamaica Village area. It is the closest to the
Disney Skyliner, which will be a huge perk when traveling to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
