Agreed - we were there Thanksgiving last year and the regular pool was freezing. The "quiet" pools - actually 2 right next to each other - were like bath water! They were seriously wonderful, and we were often the only ones there!
We'll be there in November and DD just wants to go down the slide, even if only once! Since she was just 3 she would look out the balcony at the pool wistfully!.As we are always there in Nov or Jan, she has never gone. But this trip, I think I'm going to let her go on our first night as we get into SNA at 4:00 and the parks close at 8:00. So hotel, Goofy's and a slide!
