Hi Joann! Welcome to planDisney!
You must be thrilled that your
Disney Resorts Collection stay is right around the corner now! I think relaxing by a beautifully themed pool sounds pretty perfect. I know you are ready to dive straight into full vacation mode!
On my recent visits, I have noticed a few umbrellas set up in the pool areas, but there hasn't been a lot of them available and they are already set up in specific locations. A few of the Disney Resort hotels do offer cabanas and patios, however, and if you are staying at one of those resorts, you may want to consider renting one for your day by the pool!
At
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, there are cabanas for rent at The Grand Floridian Beach Pool, and patios at The Grand Floridian Courtyard Pool and Beach Aquatic Play Area.
Disney's Contemporary Resort has cabanas available at the Contemporary Feature and Bay Leisure Pools, with patios at the Contemporary Feature Pool.
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort (currently only open in the Villas portion of the resort) doesn't have cabanas, but they do have patios at Polynesian Lava and Oasis Pools. Lastly, cabanas are found at
Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Stormalong Bay Pool.
No matter where you are staying, I encourage you to talk with a recreation Cast Member to see what they offer. Things change often and they may have more availability.
I hope this helps, Joann! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
