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.

Water Slide at Disney’s Contemporary

Here is a look at the water slide from the platform’s top.

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.

The aquatic play area at Wilderness Lodge has two slides.

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.

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. They also rank high on our list of pools with their incredible Grotto Pool, which has a fun, family-friendly water slide.

Parents, the setup at this pool 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.

Water Slide at Disney’s Riviera Resort

Next door to Caribbean Beach, we find Disney’s Riviera Resort. The Riviera has a beautiful feature pool with a fun water slide. The slide is inside a tower. You’ll have to climb a spiral staircase inside the tower to reach the top of this slide.

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?

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. It even has a name, Scales!
