Best pool?

My opinion is SAB and BCV is the best pool, but it is not a pool hopping option.

We've been taking our kids to SAB since they were babies. They are now 4 and 7 years old. My son will spend hours playing in the sand and water area, and my daughter loves the slide. My daughter took her arm swimmies off for the first time while we were there in September and began swimming by herself!

For us it is convenient because we are a family of 4 so my husband will go off with one child and do their thing and I will stay with the other and do our thing so not being able to keep track of the kids isn't an issue for us. It is a really big pool so that might be an issue for some parents.

The only strong current is in the lazy river area, IMO.

I love that the part of the pool surrounded by the beach has a sand bottom instead of the fiberglass bottom. Gives more of a beach feeling.

Kudos to anyone who pool hops! I see you with the fortitude of the great explorers. It seems to be quite the undertaking to make to the pool of the resort we are staying! Maybe when the kids are older we will have the courage to venture out.

Friday we decided to head over to VWL, since this is our home resort for the last 8 years and we have never set foot in the place. We were very underwhelmed at the pool there. The building and grounds were nice, but just didn't have that "Disney magic feel" to us. Since it was our last day, I asked the kids which pool they wanted to go back to, and they unanamiously chose OKW.

This just goes to show how people can have different tastes. Our home is BWV, but I'll admit - I have a real soft spot for VWL. I think we like BWV as a home better (we are Epcot people), but I LOVE the "Disney Magic Feel" of Wilderness Lodge.

(Best pool, no. In some ways it has the SAB issue without the SAB advantages - sight lines aren't clear. Best themeing - in our opinion - hands down.)
