Best playground in WDW??

[mickerbaby]

We are spending one of our days as a "quiet day" doing things outside the parks like going to downtown Disney. Our hotel ASMovies has a playground but from what I hear it's on the small side. Do any of the other resorts have a larger playground?

I haven't been to it, but I've seen some neat pictures of the playground at Coronado Springs by the Digsite. I don't know if non-hotel guests can use.

I'm pretty sure there is a playground at DD. Most of the resort playgrounds we have seen have not been anything special, but the kids seem happy anyway. Another idea is to head over to FW. The playground is nothing specail, but they have a petting zoo (free), and pony rides (a small charge), ducks to chase and lots of room to run around. The buffet, trails end, is awsome and the best value on the grounds.


Have fun,

If you're blessed with a nice warm day and your child enjoys water, the fountains at Downtown Disney might be the best playground around! Our little ones played in the big fountain there for an hour and a half on our last trip!

You can always head over to Fort Wilderness. They have several playgrounds scattered around the campground, and a nice one near the marina. You could also do the petting zoo and tour the Disney stables (free!) and do a pony ride (only a few dollars).

We usually spend a day doing the grand tour of all the FW playgrounds! Hey, if you are there late enough you could even do the campfire sing-along with Chip and Dale (free too!).

The Playground at DD no longer exists as of last October.

Are the activities at FW available to non-Disney Resort guests?

Sure, no problems! FW is very laid-back and everyone is welcome. You may be a FW guest next time!
