Disney World Resorts with Water Slides (The Complete List)
If a water slide at the pool is a priority, note that not every Walt Disney World Resort offers one. All Disney resorts have themed pools, but only moderate and deluxe resorts feature water slides in their main pool areas. Disney’s value resorts do not have water slides.
In total, 17 Walt Disney World Resorts have water slides. These slides range from smaller, family-friendly options to longer, more immersive themed experiences.
Below is a complete list of every Disney World Resort with a water slide. We preview photos and share key details about each pool area so you can compare options and choose the resort that works best. 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 reach the top of this slide, which mimics a natural spring. This fairly mild slide is 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 aged 12 years and younger. For more details, read our article on 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.
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 for 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. Here are a few photos of the Poly’s waterslide.
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 top of the platform.
Below, you can see where the slide exits into the pool. For more on this area, see our overview of the pools at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
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. The picture below shows 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. We have a complete guide that features more photos of the pools at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
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. Learn more about the pools at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Water Slide at Kidani Village
If you want a more thrilling slide, try 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 in the center.
A small tunnel slide is also 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 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
The Flying Jib at Disney’s Beach Club is perhaps the best water slide among the Disney Resorts. It comes in at a whopping 230′ long. This slide shoots out from the Beach Club shipwreck, crosses the walkway, and dumps guests back into 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.
Beyond its unique slide, Stormalong Bay ranks at the top of our list of the best pools at Disney World. We have a full article on 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 have time, check out the shipwreck pool by the beach. You might be surprised to find a secondary kiddie pool with a mini water slide. I’d bet most resort guests have no clue 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 best pools list thanks to its incredible Grotto Pool, which features a fun, family-friendly water slide.
Parents, this pool setup makes it easy 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. Learn more about the pools at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin in our guide.
Water Slide at Disney’s Caribbean Beach
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort has two waterslides at the Fuentes del Morro Pool. The pool features a 102′ slide 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 better suited 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, a platform controls the traffic light. 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? We love the pools at Disney’s Riviera Resort.
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
Next stop: 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 unique pool area 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! Learn more about the Pools at Disney’s Coronado Springs.
Water Slide at Port Orleans French Quarter Resort
Perhaps one of the coolest 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. For more, see our photo and amenities guide to the Pool at Port Orleans French Quarter.
The French Quarter has one of the most vibrant aquatic play areas for kids near the back of the Doubloon Lagoon Pool. It features two miniature slides for younger children.
Waterslide at Port Orleans Riverside Resort
Next door at Port Orleans Riverside, the Ol’ Man Island pool area has a water slide. The slide has a staircase leading to the top.
The water slide is 95 feet long, and the pool depth at the bottom is 3.5 feet, which is pretty average for most slide exits. Like the other resorts, we have a separate pool guide for Port Orleans Riverside.
Water Slide at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
Since Saratoga Springs is such a large resort, it has two feature pools with water slides. Here is a look at the slide at The Paddock Pool.
This slide has wide loops.
The Paddock Pool has an aquatic play area with two slides.
The High Rock Springs Pool also has a water slide. This pool area is in the resort’s Springs section, near the lobby. FYI, Saratoga Springs is a tremendous resort with two feature pools and several quiet pools. See our guide to the pools at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort for more specifics.
This slide has a steep curve before it exits to the pool.
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! We love this special option at the original Disney Vacation Club Resort. For more on this resort’s pools, see our guide to the pools at Disney’s Old Key West.
