Which resort has the best pool areas?

Which resort has the best pool areas? Which is the best for kids? Which resports have pool slides or waterfalls? We will be staying at Old Key West and was wondering if we could resort hop to try out the different pools at the resorts.

OKW has a nice regular type pool--no big slide. You cannot use pools at any other resorts while staying at OKW unless you are a Disney Vacation Club member.

As far as best, many consider the pool at Beach/Yacht Club to be the best on site -- huge, sandy bottom, large slide and other things that make it like a mini warterpark. That one is so popular that they now meticulously check ID's to assure no one outside the resort is trying to sneak in; even DVC members can't use it unless staying there. The Boardwalk has a very good pool with the longest slide of any resort pools. Many others are also very good with slides, or little waterfalls or the like.

Well, in the deluxes, it would be Beach and Yacht Club, and for the moderates, the best slide is at CSR.

Stormalong Bay is usually considered the best.

Another vote for the Beach Club

I've always heard (but never stayed at the YC/BC) that Stormalong Bay was the best. Having stayed at all the moderates and ASMov, I liked CSR's pool the best. CSR may also be the only moderate resort with a hot tub, if that is of any interest.

POFQ has a hot tub - I've sat in it.
