Best pool and splash area for 1 year old?

[morganms22]

I’ve been going to Disney for 30 years, but this is my first time going with a little one! So, obviously my plans and priorities have shifted a bit! We want to take her to the pool and my question is which do you recommend for that young of an age? I know yacht/beach has a fantastic pool, but I am looking something where she can splash around and it be more geared more towards little ones. What’s your favorite resort pool/splash area for little bitty ones? Previous experience helpful! We have stayed at almost all of the resorts, but have never gone to the pools....

The Grand Floridian, Poly and Wildernesses Lodge all have great pools and splash pads for the kids!! I always tell everyone, look up YouTube videos so you can see what each has to offer, and see which would work best for you!! Good luck deciding!

Our 1.5 year old niece had a blast at the CBR splash area.

They have that shallow area with the sand, pails & shovels At YC, Kidani has a super cute splash area. If you’re looking at the mods Dansdad already mentioned CBR.

The splash pad at POFQ is pretty great.

Poly for deluxe by far and I’d even say Carribean Beach as a moderate.

Yacht/Beach has the best pool area though.

As much as I love Poly, I personally don't think it has the best kids splash pad for a 1 year old. A little older, absolutely, but not at 1. The splash pad is actually quite deep in parts and rather up-sized compared to the others mentioned above. The splash pad at places like GF, WL, CBR, etc are a bit more tame, they are shallower, and more easily managed with a very little one (and the parents!). Both Poly pools are zero entry which is huge at that age, but I give the nod to other resorts if judging on splash pad alone.

Thank you!! That’s really helpful to know about the Poly splash area.
