Stormalong Bay at Yacht/Beach is the most extensive Disney pool I'm aware of outside of the water parks. It is really nice, especially if you have smaller kids as they have a huge sand bottom kids pool and lots and lots of lifeguards. My older kids like the slide (there is a small slide for little kids) and the pool & ping pong tables, and my younger one loves the daily pool parties. They also show a movie down on the beach at night, something they do at most Disney resorts at night which is fun. Beach club is right on the boardwalk and you can walk into Epcot easy and a little longer to Hollywood Studios, so a little less separation from the parks at night if that is important to you, but it can be fun to see the fireworks from your hotel and being able to walk back quick after a long day is great. Saratoga also has a couple of nice pools, two with slides and kiddie play areas, but no lazy rivers. It does feel like "coming home" to me versus some of the other resorts, very peaceful setting but you can walk over to Downtown Disney easy. Most of the rest of the resorts have the same types of pools, big with a slide and usually a quieter pool or two. Think they all have pool parties in the afternoon too, with games and prizes. If we want a serious water day we hit blizzard beach or typhoon lagoon in the AM before the crowds; by noon (or 10 in the summer) we have done all the rides we want and head out as the crowds head in. But that's only worth it with a water parks and more ticket. Good to hear Bonnet Creek was nice, been debating a stay there!
