We stayed at WL last Sept. We loved the resort and will stay there again. However, the pool was our least favorite part of the resort. Watching the geyser blow is fun, but my kids thought the pool was very boring and spent very little time there. I know most people disagree with this assessment and think it is a wonderful pool. I think it all depends on your perspective. We belong to both indoor and outdoor pool facilities. The slide at our swim club is much bigger than the slide at WL. My kids have always had access to fairly nice pool facilities so they may be harder to please in this area than someone who does not belong to a pool at home. This is the only thing I could figure out after hearing these wonderful reports about the pool and then being a little disappointed.
