Agree with Caribbean Beach. This pool was amazing and totally made my niece and nephew's trip. I wanted to add a shoutout to the Paddock pool at Saratoga Springs. This is a smaller pool at Saratoga, but it features a waterslide and is pretty quiet at night. You can also grab drinks and snacks at the snack bar. Pretty awesome experience.
One of my biggest memories from my family trip to Disney in 2005 is swimming in the hotel pool. We stayed at All Star Sports and even though I know it is now very run down I still look back fondly on the place specifically the pool. I remember one morning I had gotten up pretty early and my mom told my dad, who was also awake early, to take me to the pool so she good keep sleeping. I could have spent all vacation in there.
🎉🎉🏖️ Wilderness Lodge pools both of them are great. Main pool is a lot of fun with stuff for kids to do, but a bit loud. The pool for Bolder Ridge, which is right around the corner is big and quiet. They are both very close to Geyser Point for drinks or snacks. Very good theming on the whole area.
I had no idea the pools were heated year round!! That is such a big thing for me! I’ve never been to WDW to see this for myself and I have always REFUSED to get in water it if it is even close to cold!! This is actually a reason I would actually think of choosing a DisneyWorld resort over another tbh.
I definitely think High Rock Springs at Saratoga deserves a shout, was a bit surprised not to see it on this list with its cool theming, water slide, hot tub, great bar, etc.
Loved both the little mermaid and finding Nemo pools at art of animation! They were perfect for my toddler and his first trip to Disney World. Also, it’s good to know that the Cars area has a pool too. We didn’t make it over to that area to check it out when we were there last week.
Great video! We have stayed at CBR and Coronado, both amazing pools for moderates. This year we will be staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and can't wait for a pool only resort day! Thanks AJ
AJ, I’m from Albany and, believe me, I KNOW Younger A.J.’s desire to escape from miserable winters! That’s why I’ve lived in San Diego for the last thirty years!
@@Isaiahslifeexperience I took a week long Disney vacation last January, and you're right, the magic is calling, but it'll be nice if it called at a discount 😁🥰💖
It’s funny because most of the time we travel to Disney between November and March, it’s too cold in Orlando to want to swim. Often in the 40’s 😂 and we are coming from SW Ontario Canada (it’s not as snowy or cold as Buffalo but still) - I would never count on beach or pool weather in Florida during the winter. I agree with you on all the pools, but dare I say they are even more important during the hot Florida summers? Love cooling off mid day in our resort pool!
Hello! Any chance you can make a video on how the Magic Bands work? We are going in two months for a honeymoon and i do not know anything about them haha. Thank you!
I like the two feature pools at Saratoga Springs Resort - the Paddock pool has a 146ft slide down from a water tower plus a sweet kids water playground with 2 other slides and Highrock pool has a 128ft slide. The Grandstand pool has an awesome splash pad feature and the Springs quiet pool has the best view on Disney property, straight across the lake from Disney Springs, night swims are the best there!
I’m disappointed not to see the good neighbor hotel pools, specifically Swan and Dolphin. Their pool has a water slide, bridges to swim under, a waterfall, and is a cheaper hotel stay than a Deluxe resort.
I have a vivid childhood memory of getting my parents to change our hotel from one with just a Mickey pool to French Quarter just for that dragon pool. I kept thinking it was Caribbean or Polynesian, but those were different trips now I think.
I was at Wilderness Lodge, for the first time in a while, in May 2022. I was pleasantly surprised to see the theming of the leisure pool by Boulder Creek. Authentic-looking abandoned industrial theming. Not glamorous, but intriguing!
@@Isaiahslifeexperience that’s so sweet! Don’t you worry, I’ve been able to go a few times - I’m lucky that I’m able to stay with nearby family or a cheaper off-campus hotel!
From maine.. beach and swim situation is SO IMPORTANT lol love the video. Still haven’t been to Disney but will be prepared when I can afford to do so because of you guys!
where near buffalo? me and my fiancé are from Rochester NY, we just moved down about 2 years ago and got disney annual passes... we use to watch your videos and dream of going now we watch them for tips when we go on the weekends! thank you
I’m from Manhattan New York and I lm just so happy I left lol I’m allergic to cold weather under 60 started off as vaction in 2020 been living here since 2021 Florida feels good to be home 🏠 🌴☀️
The pools are only for guests staying at those hotels. You can check out everything else going on at AOA though and basically double your restaurant options (they have a pretty good Quick Service restaurant over there)
@@IsaiahslifeexperienceIt really depends where in Canada, it’s a huge country and temps vary from area to area, where we live the summers are very hot and humid. A lot like Florida. Winters are fairly mild, we got 2 big snow storms and 3 ice storms all winter, the rest no snow on the ground which was actually sad. It’s become a lot more mild last few years, but there are always a few days it gets really cold.
I am too Canadian but I often feel cold in Orlando in the winter time. Not sure why people think Orlando winters are hot. Some days can be, but it’s also often very cold. I find it too cold to swim. Whereabouts in Canada do you live? Our winders are fairy mild, with the occasional really cold few days. I think people think polar bears roam the streets in Canada and Canadians live in igloos but we do it to ourselves with our Canadian comments 🤣 We have friends that live in Massachusetts and also Chicago, colder in the winter than we have at home, and yet they still think it’s colder everywhere in Canada 😂.
While these all look amazing, on our many trips to WDW (all staying on property), we have never once set foot in any pool. Who has time for that? We are at rope drop every morning and stay until the park closes at night. We go back to our hotel as quickly as possible and crash in bed to get up and repeat for every day of our trip. We don't go to WDW to relax - we go to experience as much in the parks as we can. We have never relaxed at WDW or Disneyland. It is always go, go, go!
@@XxdextriousxX I'm not expecting anything. It's just an observation. I don't recommend sitting out in the Florida sun without shade. Especially if you're from up north.
I really love the Yacht and beach club resort pool it’s so big and awesome! Would to go back and go in it again
Glad you had so much and enjoyed the magic 🪄 🛥️ 🏝️

Never heard of it but sounds fun 🤩 hope you enjoy 🪄🌴☀️
Huge! Unlike anything I’ve experienced! You’ll love it!!!!!!!!
Did not know about Port Orleans able to use both resort’s pools! Glad to know now!!
Ikr it’s so beautiful
Im from Pennsylvania, I WAS DYING FOR DISNEY TRIPS EVERY YEAR so i could get out of the snow and sit in a pool for way too long🤣❤️ i feel you AJ
Omg that’s so cool I’m from Manhattan but I live in Florida 🌴☀️
I’m disappointed not to see the good neighbor hotel pools, specifically Swan and Dolphin. Their pool has a water slide, bridges to swim under, a waterfall, and is a cheaper hotel stay than a Deluxe resort.
Which did you prefer, or does it matter?
I believe since they are technically not Disney properties. But they are on property. Let’s just the Swan a secret then lol
great video. I've been waiting for this one. I love the pools.
Glad you enjoyed cara have a magical day 🪄
Re Stormalong Bay, surely most guests never find the amall kids pool behind the shipwreck!

Nope you can visit and enjoy the magic 🪄
@@Isaiahslifeexperience what? Lol
I am from outside of Buffalo and watch these videos all the time. I had no idea you were a Western New Yorker
Beach club or nothing 😍😍
French Quarter is my favorite. I picked it for our honeymoon because of the slide
Happy Thursday everyone 💜

Just found out you’re a Bills fan!!! GO BILLS and I love all your info in these videos!!
I’m upgrading to a water park pass for my annual pass 🏝️
was not a fan of the sand bottom pool at yacht and beach! its cool but messy. The rest of the pool is amazing!
Oh no glad you enjoyed tho 🪄

Cabanas are at Polynesian Oasis pool, too!
Once Stormalong Bay was announced, all was good with the world. If that wasn't the top rated pool, I'd be worried about hell freezing over next...
What’s stormalong bay?
@@Isaiahslifeexperience The name of the "pool" at Beach/Yacht Club resort.
@@robertkahro4565 oh ok thank you
The wilderness lodge pools were freezing when we went in November. I wonder if they only turn them on occasionally
I feel like Caribbean Beach is right up there behind Stormalong. I didn’t love Coronado as much.
i love my sea serpent slide, it made me squeal at the end. however, that was the last time i ever went on it, it was a bit to fast for my liking.
This video had good pacing.
Please talk about the water parks attractions
These are for the best pool hotels
Ayyyy shout out to Buffalo, NY!
Buffalo?!?! AJ, are you a Bills fan?
We’re staying at Pop century. Are we able to walk across the bridge and use the AOA splash pad/ pool?
The pools are only for guests staying at those hotels. You can check out everything else going on at AOA though and basically double your restaurant options (they have a pretty good Quick Service restaurant over there)

Oh no maybe try waking up early if u didn’t so u have time and enjoy but glad u had fun 🤩🪄🌴
@@jacitucci Omg that is so fun you work at the resorts how’s the breakfast like ?
I also find it too cold to swim a lot of the winter, yes in Orlando 🤣
Sounds like a nightmare. So you basically run around like mad for 2 weeks. Then you go back hone to run around like mad at work. Sounds so relaxing
Since when was Caribbean Beach a value resort?
omg Disney getting rid of star cruiser 2. Not moving all their Employees to florida wow hot news.
I’m kinda shocked how little shade most of these pools have. Surely it’s too hot in Florida and the UV is too high to sit out in the sun?
Isn’t that the point of umbrellas and sun protection
@@XxdextriousxX I’m including umbrellas when I’m commenting on the lack of shade.
@@bluey7243 oh well then idk what you’re expecting this is pretty normal around pool side anywhere lol
@@XxdextriousxX I'm not expecting anything. It's just an observation. I don't recommend sitting out in the Florida sun without shade. Especially if you're from up north.
