Hey there, Kim. Welcome to
planDisney! I see that you have a trip planned to the
Most Magical Place On Earth in late January. I can't think of a better way to kick off a new year. So much fun!
Kim, I have some good news for you. Pools at
Walt Disney World are heated to a wonderfully warm 82 degrees all year long. My family and I visit Walt Disney World every year over the week of Christmas and we have spent many years splish-splashing in the pools. So even though it's January, be sure to throw your suits in there anyway. Also, the resorts that you have mentioned all have hot tubs which are perfect for those chilly evenings!
I do love a good arcade and my daughter and I have been known to hit up the ones at the Walt Disney World Resort that we happen to be staying at. In fact, almost all of the resorts have arcades somewhere on property!
Here is a list of where you can find
arcades at the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels.
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort – Reel Fun Arcade
Disney's All-Star Music Resort – Note'able Games
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort – Game Point Arcade

Disney's Beach Club Resort, Disney's Riviera Resort and Disney's Wilderness Lodge all have the arcades that you are looking for! I've stayed at all three resorts, Kim, and there really isn't a bad choice out of those three. They are all so great.
If you have any other questions about this or anything else, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm here to help.
Happy planning!
