Disney World Resorts with Water Slides (The Complete List)
Before deciding which Disney World Resort suits your upcoming vacation, you might consider a few extras. One of those extras that your kids will likely appreciate is if the pool has a water slide. There are 17 Walt Disney World Resorts with water slides.
Below is a list of each Disney World Resort with a water slide. We’ll preview photos and discuss details for each one. These slides range from family-friendly to fast and thrilling or somewhere in between.
So grab your favorite poolside refreshment and pretend you’re already sitting in the Florida sunshine. Imagine relaxing by the pool while the kids are thoroughly entertained. At that point, you’re in full-on vacation mode. At least, I hope.

Water Slide at Disney’s Grand Floridian
Grand Floridian’s Beach Pool features an 181′ long water slide. You’ll climb a staircase to access the top of this slide that mimics a natural spring. This is a fun slide that’s fairly mild and a lot of fun for most ages.
The Alice in Wonderland aquatic play area is in a separately fenced area adjacent to the pool and has a miniature water slide. This area is designed for children ages 12 years and younger. For more details, we have an article discussing the pools at Disney’s Grand Floridian.
Water Slide at Disney’s Polynesian
Next, Disney’s Polynesian has a unique slide at the Lava Pool. This waterslide is 142′ long. You’ll have to climb a staircase to the top of the volcano to access the slide.
This slide is relatively popular and weaves through the rock formation before splashing into the pool. It goes under a small footbridge on the way down.
Below is a photo of the water slide’s exit on the far left-hand side of the Lava Pool.
Adjacent to the pool area is a children’s aquatic play area. An additional slide is available for those who might not be big enough to take on the Lava Pool slide. If you would like more information, we have tons of photos and details for all the pools at Disney’s Polynesian.
Water Slide at Disney’s Contemporary
The Feature Pool water slide at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is simple, with minimal twists and turns. It’s also perfect for younger children since it’s only 17′.

Here is a look at the water slide from the platform’s top.
Below, you can see where the slide exits into the pool.
Water Slide at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has a 67′ waterslide at the Copper Creek Springs Pool. This kid-friendly slide doesn’t require climbing too many stairs to reach the top. You can tell from the picture below that this slide has a mild slope.
Two additional slides are available at the aquatic play area for those who aren’t quite ready for the regular pool. This separately fenced area sits behind the feature pool.
Water Slide at Disney’s Fort Wilderness
Disney’s Fort Wilderness has a water slide at the Meadow Pool. It resembles an old silo with the slide circling down from the top.
This pool also has an aquatic play area with two miniature slides for the little ones.
Water Slide at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge also has a kid-friendly water slide that’s 67′ long. You’ll find this slide at the Uzima Springs Pool at Jambo House.
It’s a relatively mild slide that doesn’t require climbing too many stairs.

Water Slide at Kidani Village
If you’re looking for a more thrilling slide, you might enjoy the one at the Samawati Springs Pool at Kidani Village. We consider this 128′ waterslide to be one of the best pool slides at Disney World. You’ll have to walk up to the top of the recreation area to access the slide entrance. So, the entrance is a little further away than most.
Here is where the slide exits.
This pool has a miniature slide toward the center of the pool.
Additionally, a small tunnel slide is available in the splash pad area.
Water Slide at Disney’s Boardwalk
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn has one of Disney’s most incredible water slides, the Keister Coaster. This water slide at the Luna Park Pool is designed to look like a classic wooden roller coaster! It’s 200′ in length!
Children love this waterslide, and we consider this entire pool area exceptionally child-friendly. But it’s important to note that you’ll have to climb a good number of stairs to reach the top. We have a separate article that discusses the pools at Disney’s Boardwalk.
When your children see this slide, they probably won’t want to go to the parks! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Water Slide at Disney’s Beach at Yacht Club
Perhaps the best water slide among the Disney Resorts is the Flying Jib at Disney’s Beach Club. It comes in at a whopping 230′ long. This slide shoots out from the shipwreck at the Beach Club, crosses the walkway, and dumps guests back out in Stormalong Bay.
To access the slide, you exit the pool area and cross the walkway to the ship. From there, you’ll climb a spiral staircase up to the top.
Get ready for the ride of your life! Parents, this slide is a lot of fun. However, it’s much faster than you probably anticipate.
In addition to having such a unique slide, Stormalong Bay comes in at the top of our list of the best pools at Disney World. We have an entire article for the pool area if you want to learn more. We call it a pool, but it’s similar to a small water park.

If you take the time to check out the shipwreck, you might be surprised to find that it has a secondary kiddie pool with a mini water slide. I would be willing to bet that most resort guests have no clue that this hidden pool exists.
Water Slide at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin sit next door to Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club. This resort is on Disney property but is owned and operated by Marriott. It also ranks high on our list of pools with its incredible Grotto Pool, which has a fun, family-friendly water slide.
Parents, this pool’s setup makes it easy for you to stay in the water and wait for your children at the bottom of the slide. Everything is in plain sight except the very top of the slide entry.

Water Slide at Disney’s Caribbean Beach
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is home to two waterslides at the Fuentes del Morro Pool. This pool has a 102′ feature slide that sits at the top of the lookout tower. You’ll climb an interior spiral staircase to reach the top.
Most of this slide goes through a tunnel, so you can’t see it from the outside.
The second waterslide is milder and is a good fit for younger children. We have an overview with lots of photos of the pools at Disney’s Caribbean Beach.
An aquatic play area with two mini water slides is near the feature pool.
Water Slide at Disney’s Riviera Resort
Next door to Caribbean Beach is Disney’s Riviera Resort. The Riviera has a beautiful feature pool with a fun water slide inside a tower. To reach the top of the slide, you’ll have to climb a spiral staircase inside the tower.
At the top, there is a platform with traffic light control. When the light turns green, it’s your turn. The cool thing about this water slide is that it wraps around the tower you just climbed. What kid doesn’t love a twisty slide?

Riviera also has an aquatic play area called the S’il Vous Play, which is themed to Fantasia. This children’s area has a smaller twisty slide that mimics the larger one!
Water Slide at Disney’s Coronado Springs
Our next stop is Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, where we will check out the Jaguar Slide! This slide is part of the Lost City of Cibola Pool at The Dig Site.
Coronado Springs has a pretty unique pool area that sits at the foot of a giant faux Mayan pyramid! The Jaguar slide is 123 feet long, and the staircase to access it is on the far side of the pyramid!

Water Slide at Port Orleans French Quarter Resort
Perhaps one of the coolest Disney Resort water slides is at Port Orleans French Quarter. This gentle slide is shaped like a sea serpent and even has a name: Scales!
You’ll climb a few stairs up the serpent’s back to access the slide. Then, you’ll shoot down the serpent’s pink tongue, which doubles as a water slide.

French Quarter has one of the most vibrant aquatic play areas near the back of the Doubloon Lagoon Pool. It has two miniature slides for younger children to enjoy.

The water slide is 95 feet long, and the pool depth at the bottom of the slide is 3.5 feet, which is pretty average for most slide exits.
Water Slide at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort

This slide has wide loops.
An aquatic play area with two slides is available at the Paddock Pool.
The High Rock Springs Pool is also home to a water slide. This pool area is in The Springs section of the resort near the lobby.

Water Slide at Disney’s Old Key West
Lastly, those planning a stay at Old Key West are in for a treat. The water slide is inside a faux sandcastle! You’ll twist and turn down this fun slide before dropping into the Sand Castle Pool. The exit is a hidden Mickey!
