Are Disney Water parks clean? Ok to swim in?

[Jack23]

I would like to visit a water park but it the water clean enough?

I was reading this article...

Grosses me out. I am wondering is Disney water parks are cleaner than regular public pool/water parks.
I know the theme parks are held at cleaner standards than regular amusement parks. Just curious.

No one has any gross stories about the water parks, right?

yes

The comments on the article gross me out more than the actual article.

That article was about too much chlorine not about lack of cleanliness. I would assume Disney does a pretty good job regulating their pool chemicals. We have never had a problem.

Yeah it was more the comments below the article about pubic pools and thing floating in the water.

Disney has closed down pools for 'floaters' before. I'm not sure what the deal is if it happens in a lazy river, but surely they hold the same high standards there too... I haven't had issues with chemicals in any case.

They close the hotel pools if there are any "biological accidents" to perform cleaning. I would imagine they are as thorough at the water parks.

The floaters are probably just candy bars.

lol. I just watched Caddyshack a few days ago.

The waterparks are clean.

You can bet that if Disney waterparks weren't clean, you'd have heard about it long ago.

Perfectly clean. My dd, at the age of 5, had a similar 'eye' experience at POR's main pool. It seems that she has a very low tolerance for that chemical if it gets heated to any degree. She said that it felt like there were pieces of glass in her eye. Same thing happened at a Y pool later than year during swim lessons...she learned to wear goggles!
But, other than that, the water parks are incredibly clean. Foreign objects, so to speak, find their way into any pool/water park...all the time. We were at the pool at Vero Beach....dh had just come down the slide, and was coming up from under water to find the pool being emptied!!!! Some little kid evidently couldn't
'wait'!!! Happens all the time. But, especially at WDW, CMs are very good at seeing what needs to be done, and doing it, with a minimum of inconvenience to the guests.
Go, enjoy the water parks at WDW...they're perfectly clean.

I've never had any problems with them. Much less nasty than the small local places.

Don't ever read the comments on YouTube or the news it'll make you question society

Yes! nought said!

Yes. There are gross things no matter where you go but I trust Disney more than other public places. Bottom line if they weren't safe they would fix it!

They closed down the lazy river once for a bit when that happened during my visit!

I am not a water parks person by any means. Every water park I have ever been to has completely grossed me out...with the exception of Typhoon Lagoon. When we went last August, I found the park to be very clean and well maintained (as much as any of the other theme parks).

I usually do not like water parks very much, mostly because of cleanliness problems. But Disney's water parks have always been immaculate while I've been in them.
