Book a Spa Treatment - What better way to soothe fragile nerves and sore feet than a session at one of Orlando’s resort spas. On Disney property there’s Grand Floridian as well as Saratoga Springs Spa where one of their luxurious treatments are a perfect addition to your vacation. Off property you can’t do any better than ultra luxurious Ritz-Carlton Spa or Gaylord Palms Canyon Ranch Spa. Those staying at a Universal Resort should consider an exotic Javanese treatment at Mandara Spa at Portofino Bay Hotel.

Relax At Your Resort’s Pool - Orlando’s resort pools are justifiably renowned for their spectacular theming. Disney offers some of best, particularly Stormalong Bay at Yacht and Beach Club, a 3-acre mini waterpark, or boulder lined beauty at Wilderness Lodge featuring waterfalls and its very own geyser. Off property, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress’ fantasyland pool is cooled by twelve waterfalls and at JW Marriott’s “Lazy River” you can float to your heart’s content. And at Universal Orlando’s Hard Rock Hotel is coolest (and I don’t just mean water temperature) pool around with an underwater sound system, sand beach, and poolside cabanas.

Spend Time On Disney’s Waterways - Disney has miles of lakes and lagoons to explore. You’ll find that most Disney resorts have a marina where many types of watercraft are available for hire. Sailboats, pontoon and canopy boats, Sea Raycers, even a 48-foot yacht. Take your pick. Perhaps biggest bang for your buck is to be had at Contemporary Resort where in addition to above you’ll also find parasailing, waterskiing, tubing, and wakeboarding on beautiful Bay Lake.

Book a Resort with a Great Pool Kids love swimming pools, and Disney resorts come with some of best. Children’s favorites: Volcano Pool at Disney’s Polynesian Resort featuring a smoking volcano slide, underwater music, and sparkling waterfall, all with a superb view of Seven Seas Lagoon; Wilderness Lodge’s boulder-lined pool featuring glistening waterfalls, rocky overlooks, a fun water slide, and nearby geyser; eye-popping Stormalong Bay, a mini-water park complex that meanders between Yacht and Beach Club, offering three acres of winding, watery delight including sandy bottom pools, a giant “shipwreck” waterslide, tidal whirlpool, bubbling hot tubs, a kiddie pool with its own slide next to beach, and enough length to float lazily in inner tubes to your heart’s delight.
