Beachside Fun at the Disney Grand Floridian Pool
The Disney Grand Floridian Resort Pools are special in design taking you back to a time in the early 1900s when things were more simple yet very elegant in design. The Beach Pool is located steps from the sand and Seven Seas Lagoon giving you breathtaking views of the Grand Floridian and the Magic Kingdom. Sitting in your lounge chair by the pool, you can sip on your favorite adult beverage as the kids are playing and you see the Monorail pass by. This is a view like no other Resort in Disney World. The Beach Pool also offers a fun 181-foot water slide and a Mad Hatters Kids Splash Park with smaller water slides. A slightly quieter experience can be found at the Courtyard pool.
