Favorite water features in Walt Disney World?

[Tonyz]

One of my favorite aspects of Disney is the water features. Its kinetic movement makes the place seem so alive. I can watch the waterfalls and fountains for hours. What is your favorite water feature on property?

A couple of mine:

- All the waterfalls in New Fantasyland. Beast's castle, Mine Train, The Little Mermaid, Tangled bathrooms
- Silver Creek Falls and Fire Rock Geyser at Wilderness Lodge
- The upside down waterfall and jumping water fountain at the Imagination Pavilion
- Fountain of Nations in Future World

Nice question!

If it can be a "body" of water, mine is definitely the Sassagoula River from either POFQ or POR or OKW to Disney Springs - such a gorgeous and relaxing boat ride, night or day!

If it has to be a "man made" water thing, it would be the going-uphill fountains at Imagination - I still remember taking tons of pics the first time I saw it, then giggling 'cause on pics it doesn't look "backwards" (duh me!!!) LOL, but I think of that every time I see it!

Man, I haven't seen the Sassagoula in years. I gotta get back over to POR sometime soon and spend an afternoon on the river.

um, the backside of water at Switzer Falls ... named, of course, after Dr. Falls

To the already mentioned EPCOT ones I would add:
- The waterfall at the Canadian Pavilion
- The waterway by the international gateway entrance - I love the view as you cross the bridge and the Eiffel Tower is in view and the details they put down by the water (bicycle, painting, etc.)

Both great picks. Canada's waterfall is one of my favorites. I love walking all the way down to the bottom and just standing right next to it, looking up at the majestic (man made) glory and getting hit with the mist.

I love, love, love the fountain in the France pavilion. It's so simple, elegant, and soothing to me. I wish I were there right now!

I love the fountains of France, the water feature by imagination, the falls of Canada and the koi pond in Japan.

Disney springs, especially at night.. The "springs" they built for the new section might be their best work..... It's pretty during the day but stunning during the night. I've never seen anyone walk past it and not stop to take pictures once they notice it.

The fountains at the Imagination pavilion are my favorite. We had such a fun experience at those 2 weeks ago with my baby niece. She loved them. We got the cutest pictures of her having the time of her life. It was our last full day, and seeing her face made the trip all worth it. Those are the best fountains and most fun.

Canada and Japan have my favorite 'relaxation' water features, but my favorites man-made features will always be Slippin Falls on Splash Mountain and The Backside of Water on The Jungle Cruise.
