3. Water Play Fort at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground

Located behind the swimming pool at the Meadow, the fort play area is a hidden gem that’s easily missed at this resort. Fort Wilderness caters to guests who are either camping on site or staying in one of the cabins. Camping spots and cabins are organized into loops. The property is so large that guests take a bus just to get to the bus stop where they can transfer to a park or other destination.

If you’re staying at Fort Wilderness, make sure you stop at the Meadow at least once. This is a separate area from the Outpost, where you’ll find the Hoop-de-Doo Revue and Trail’s End Restaurant. The Meadow has both a swimming pool and a kiddie pool playground behind it. This play area is completely fenced off from the larger pool so children can run around freely, splash in the shallow water, and enjoy the miniature waterslide.

4. Donald Duck Play Area at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

The High Rock Spring Pool at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort can be intimidating, with its waterfalls and massive water slide. An easier way for children to get wet is to head to the Donald Duck play area. This particular play area is more of a splash pad than a pool. With plenty of water jets to dance in, children are sure to have a great time.

Saratoga Springs also has a second play area for kids by the Paddock Pool, featuring two small waterslides. Both the Paddock Pool and High Rock Spring Pool are zero depth entry so small children can wade in slowly if they’re ready later on.

Towering water slides and oversized pool features can be intimidating for toddlers and small children. Book at one of these resorts and take advantage of some of the more entertaining kiddie pools on property.
