Hiya, Mark, and welcome back to planDisney! Thank you for making us your go-to source for Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning advice! As you know, my Panelist pals and I are here and always happy to help our fellow Guests!
Mark, I'm glad you've done your research about pools at Walt Disney World Resort! While
Stormalong Bay is scheduled for refurbishment through June, I have a couple of other ideas I'd like to share with you and your wife. Both
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park and
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park offer sandy beach areas where Guests can relax during their visit. To make this visit even more special, consider
renting an umbrella, which will give you a designated private space to spread out with your toes in the sand.
Did you know that in 2025, Guests of
Disney Resorts Collection hotels can
visit a water park on their check-in day, included with their stay? This fun benefit was an added bonus for my family during our recent vacation. We were staying at
Disney's Beach Club Resort and knew that we wouldn't have access to Stormalong Bay, so we got our waterslide fix at the water parks instead. It was nice to relax at Dunes Cove, Tidal Pool, and Admiral Pool back at the Resort!
Mark, I hope this is helpful to you as you count down to your arrival! Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
