About

Nemo-themed pool with giant figures, plus a sprayground and playground.

The Big Blue Pool, like all pools at Walt Disney World resorts, is generally heated year-round to a comfortable temperature of approximately 82°F (28°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This Disney hotel pool is frequently lauded as the largest, featuring impressive art and animation decor. Reviewers appreciate its spacious layout, often noting plenty of room despite potential crowding, and the availability of numerous chairs and a convenient poolside bar. Key attractions include unique underwater music, frequent outdoor movie nights, and a strong lifeguard presence. While generally considered a great and fun place to relax, some minor drawbacks mentioned are that the water doesn't get very deep, it can sometimes be crowded, and one reviewer strongly noted the water temperature was extremely cold. Another mentioned non-working water fixtures, which detracted from the experience.

Hold your breath, go under water, and listen!!! Biggest hotel pool at Disney. Amazing art and animation pieces all around and in the pool area. Doesn't get very deep, and it is often crowded, but the pool is a great place to relax. Plenty of chairs, and a bar nearby if you need to unwind.

Can you say cold? It was in the high 80’s this weekend and this water felt like winter. There was no way I could go under the water to hear if the music still played. It was that cold. But still fun. Not too crowded for as hot as it was. Since water fixtures did not work and it gave the resort a dead beat feel.

Very very large pool with plenty of room to enjoy even during the busy hours. There were always plenty of life guards to make sure there was no shenanigans with people and to keep everyone safe. Being close to the main building and the bar for adults is also a plus. They also do movie nights which is cool for the kiddos.

Great pool and the decorations are top notch. My only complaint is that it can get crowded at times, but that happens with pretty much any pool. There's music that plays underwater, frequent outdoor movie nights with a big screen, and some other activities. My teenage nephews loved every bit of it.
