Pools that are adequate for resort size

[karen4546]

The pool at BRV is great and was never crowded while we were there. At most, there may have been 6 people in the pool and 10 people around the pool in the loungers or at the tables.

this was last month.

Yes - Bay Lake Tower is too small, with seating somewhat limited - but you can stroll to the spacious main Contemporary pool - with an additional quiet pool on the lake (a must for classic disney resort fans). I'm super worried about the Poly main pool when the new tower is done.

If disney would add a cool monorail slide to the main Contemporary (a la Disneyland Hotel) it would really elevate the area (which is already a nice escape set on bay lake).

You got lucky! We stayed the last week in August in 2019 and couldn’t even find 2 chairs together, we were there for 10 days and the pool was always packed.

That was the week that Galaxy's Edge opened, and - more or less- people chose the Epcot area resorts so they could arrive earliest to HS.

Funny, BLT was the only pool that came to mind when reading the OPs question!! We agree. That really was a disappointing pool for us - like they squeezed it in. But a large majority of the resorts have plenty of pool space, if you include the quiet pools (which are quite nice sometimes!)!

SAB is a great pool and even with no chairs the pool itself is roomy. With the current area things keep moving. . Remember tx & bc both have nice quiet pools which are also very empty. BLT is small. Very small. Last august it was so hot and small the water temp was hotter than the air. . CSR has great pools but not sure now with tower how crowded. CSR & AoA have large pools. Great pools at PO-RS. Quiet & main. Poly we only used the quiet pool lava pool is always nutz. GF holds a crowd without any issues and could handle another tower. . BW has a large pool but not seating for as big as it is. Nice quiet pool at BWV behind theme pool it’s in next section over. S/D pools are huge and deep which is becoming hard to find. AKL Kidani we thought small and it’s in parking lot? AKJambo is large with a lot of seating Offsite: portfino bay is huge. And we like Hyatt regency grand cypress great pool with caverns.

Just spent 5 nights at BC last week and the pools were not as crowded as I expected. First stay there, but never had any problem finding chairs and the pool is plenty big to move around, although my favorite spot was under a waterfall. We didn’t spend any time at the quiet pool right outside our villa.

Now, the resort itself was too busy for our liking. We spent 5 days at WL first and went from being so peaceful and relaxing to chaos all the time. Lobby always had lots of people and the spot by Beaches and Cream was hard to get through. Proximity to Epcot is tough to beat though.
