A perfect pool day at Windsor Hills starts with the lagoon pool, moves on to the Sir Windsor AquaVenture water park and splash areas, and finishes with snacks in the shade. It's an easy rest day between theme parks, with something fun for every age and almost no planning.
Start slow at the lagoon pool
The lagoon pool is heated, which makes it a comfortable place to start the morning. Its gentle shallow entry is great for toddlers and anyone who likes to wade in slowly. Grab loungers early, set up near the shade and let the kids ease into the water.
Move to the water park and splash areas
Once everyone is warmed up, head to Sir Windsor AquaVenture, the resort's water park, where the slides and play structures are the draw for older kids. Younger children have the splash areas nearby. Check the posted rules and height guidance on site, and keep a close eye on little ones. For more on the little ones' side, see our playground and splash pad parents' guide.
Pack a pool bag that works
- Sunscreen, reapplied often, plus rash guards for sensitive shoulders.
- Two towels per person, since one is always wet.
- Refillable water bottles for everyone.
- Goggles, floats and a small waterproof pouch for a phone.
- A change of dry clothes for the walk back.
Snacks and lunch without leaving the resort
Pool days run on snacks. Bring a cooler with fruit, sandwiches and drinks, or stock up on easy picks before you go. If you're staying in a rental, you have a full kitchen, so packing lunch is simple, and a quick lunch at the rental is only a few minutes away. Check the resort's current rules on glass and outside food before you pack. Our Disney grocery strategy has a handy shopping list.
A simple timeline for the day
- Morning: head to the lagoon pool while it's calm and grab shaded loungers.
- Late morning: move to the water park and splash areas once everyone is warmed up.
- Midday: snack and lunch break out of the sun, with plenty of water.
- Afternoon: return to the pool for a slow float, or rest at the rental.
- Evening: shower, dinner and an early night before the next park day.
Adjust the timeline to your family's pace. The best pool days leave plenty of room for naps, snack breaks and doing nothing at all.
Make it a full day at the resort
If the kids still have energy after the pool, the clubhouse, games room, gym and courts are close by. See the games room guide for rainy or too-hot afternoons, and the courts guide for active families. Always check current pool hours before you plan your day.
Why a pool day matters on a Disney trip
Disney days are long and tiring. A pool day lets the family recharge, and with Disney property about 5 to 10 minutes away, you can easily switch between parks and the resort. Windsor Hills is a gated resort with private-pool homes, condos and townhouses, full kitchens and space for big families.
