Hit the pools in early March?

[peripixie]

We've been to WDW in the summer, but this will be our 1st Spring Break trip. Is it typically warm enough to hit the pools?

Since the pools are heated, I've seen people in them when it's 45 degrees out.

However, I'm guessing that you're asking if it will be warm enough outside to justify an afternoon by the pool. Depends. The weather is still in that transition period where it could be in the 80s or it could be in the 60s. I went over the first week of March a couple years back, and our week started with lows in the 40s to ending the week with highs in the 80s. You should get at least a couple of good days to swim on your vacation, though. Have fun!

Yes, we have always swam in late Feb/early March. Since we are from Indiana, March in Florida is pretty darn tropical!

Thanks! Are all resort pools heated? We'll be at AoA.

Yes, pools are heated at AoA. Dd swam last January. Too cold for me but she had fun!

Yes. Enjoy the pool..

Bike Week is the first week in March here in Daytona beach. The daytime temps are usually in the 70's, so the pool in the afternoon is very pleasant. You may have a few days in the 80's or a few days in the 60's, but the beginning of March the 70's are what you can generally expect. Most bike weeks I've attended have been sunny all week, with a few that had one or two rainy days during the entire week.
I've only experienced a mostly rainy week once in the last 15 years of bike week.

I went swimming last week. It all depends on the weather, but yes...typically you should get warm enough temps to make swimming and hanging out by the pool enjoyable.

Yep, we've gone swimming at WDW in March. Usually in the afternoon though. But I think it depends a lot on what you're used to. We're from Minnesota so we'd swim in much cooler weather than a lot of other people would. I see you're from Texas so you might be used to warmer swimming weather. I would plan on at least a little swim time though.

We were in the pool at POR yesterday morning. March should be great pool weather (unless a cold front has just come through, which isn't that common by March).

It was regularly in the 80s when we went in January 2013. The first year we went, however, January temps were so low the lizards were falling out of the trees!

Which is to say, it depends. Your odds are pretty good over spring break, though. I believe all the WDW pools are heated, although I've heard pool temp can vary considerable even at the same resort -- the pools may be all heated to a certain minimum, then the ones in the sun get warmer than the shaded ones -- or it may depend on what the lifeguards there prefer.

We've gone in January, February, and March and have been in the pool on each of those trips. Some days it was freezing in the morning and we were wearing coats and gloves but by early afternoon we were in shorts.

It does depend. We have gone for many years in March and always swam, but last March when we went it was cold! We did manage to get one day to swim out of our 6 day stay.
