Disney World’s BEST Pool: Stormalong Bay at the Yacht & Beach Club

Stormalong Bay is arguably the best pool at Walt Disney world. Located at the Yacht & Beach Club, it's a mini water park and a great break from the parks.

My family loves our trips to Disney World and we really enjoy experiencing all of the resorts on Walt Disney World property.  One of the things that Disney does really well are the pool areas at the resorts.  We’ve stayed at several and have never been disappointed with the pool areas. While the pool at Caribbean Beach was our favorite for quite a while, we recently stayed at the Yacht Club and had a chance to experience Stormalong Bay – and now we have a new favorite. We were beyond impressed by the Stormalong Bay pool “complex” and it’s without a doubt the best pool at any of the resorts on the Disney property.

Stormalong Bay is arguably the best pool at Walt Disney world. Located at the Yacht & Beach Club, it's a mini water park and a great break from the parks.

But what’s all the fuss about?

Stormalong Bay is basically a mini-water park in it’s own right. I mentioned above that it’s a “complex” and with its several different areas including a beach, a lazy river and one of Disney World’s longest water slides – it truly is.  The pool is filled with 750,000-gallons of water and spans 3 acres!

One of the coolest features of this pool is the fact that the bottom of the pool is a layer of sand. There is a shallow beach area with a depth of 2-feet, for kids to splash, wade, and build sandcastles. Hurricane Hannah’s, the pool bar right next to the sandy beach area serves kids meals in little green pails (complete with shovels), so the kids can use those to play in the sand…..when they are done eating of course.

The 150-foot water slide is one of the highlights of Stormalong Bay. Just look for the giant shipwreck!  The slide begins across the walking path from the pool and guests will slide over the walkway below and end up coming out in the main pool on the other side. Keep in mind that you do have to exit the main pool area to access the slide’s entrance, so if you have little ones you will probably want to go with them over to the slide. As you walk up to the shipwreck area there is also a kiddie slide and a smaller pool, which are much quieter for people that need a quiet break from the main pool.

And then there is the lazy river. Relax and enjoy floating along the water path on one of the inner tubes provided. The lazy river is located right in the center of the complex and there are plenty of chairs around the area for you to use as base camp. The water depth in the lazy river area is about 8-feet, so if you have little ones, be sure to take advantage of the floatation vests that are provided by each Disney resort pool.

Like all of the Disney Resort pools, Stormalong Bay offers numerous activities throughout the day. Things like trivia contests, rubber duck races, dance parties and hula hoop contests. These activities are run by cast members and my kids have always liked participating in them. These activities are a great way to occupy the kids while you relax and watch.

When you’re done in the pool, Beaches and Cream Soda Shop is right there, so you can stop in for one of the best burgers in Disney to end your day.

Stormalong Bay is only open only to guests at the Yacht Club, Beach Club, and Beach Club Villas. Cast members are posted at the pool entrances and they WILL check your Magic Bands to make sure you’re staying there. Once they confirm that you are a resort guest, you will be given a wristband, so you can come and go all day. Oh and complimentary towels are provided at all pools.

Stormalong Bay is arguably the best pool at Walt Disney world. Located at the Yacht & Beach Club, it's a mini water park and a great break from the parks.

There is also an elevated tanning deck and 3 whirlpool spas at Stormalong Bay.  It’s a really impressive complex of pools and every member of your family can find a place to cool off and have some fun at Stormalong Bay.

    Holy moly! What a pool! I am going to make sure we hit that pool the next time we’re at Disney.

    Woah! That’s not a pool, that’s a water adventure! I love everything about it. My kids would love that pirate ship. Fantastic!

    I agree, it is a wonderful pool. We stayed at this resort last year and my niece spent hours on the water slide.

    This is new to me! I’ll have to take the kids here. No doubt they will love it.

    This does sound like a great pool to hang out at. The kids would have such a good time on the slides and the lazy river.

    This looks like so much fun! There seems to much to do. I cannot get over how big the Stormalong Bay is.

  7. Annemarie LeBlanc says

    November 15, 2017 at 7:52 pm

    We have to try this next time we are at Disney World! That is a huge waterpark! I may have enough courage to try the water slide too.

    I have to make sure we check out Stormalong Bay the next time we are at Disney World. We do have a trip planned in July 2018. I will include this in our itinerary! Yay!

    This sounds like an awesome pool complex. Definitely a perk of staying in certain resorts!

    We have never stayed at the Yacht & Beach club. That does look like an amazing pool, my kids would be in heaven.

  13. Alli Smith says

    November 16, 2017 at 9:13 am

    A 3-acre pool? Wow! This is definitely the best swimming pool I’ve seen! The grandkids would love to spend some time in that pool.

  14. Amber Myers says

    November 16, 2017 at 9:14 am

    This does look like an amazing pool. We’ve never stayed here before. We normally stay at Port Orleans French Quarter. That pool is nice, but not as fancy as this one!

  15. Heather says

    November 16, 2017 at 9:29 am

    This is my favorite pool too. The sand bottom rocks as does the waterslide.

  16. Jeanette says

    November 16, 2017 at 9:48 am

    I always hope that I will be able to stay any Disney hotel when we do go to Disney. This place looks like a place I would love. That pool looks absolutely awesome.

  17. candy says

    November 16, 2017 at 9:52 am

    Pool looks amazing and who wouldn’t want to spend all day playing and lounging around taking it easy. Looks like a great place to stay and relax,

  18. Natalie says

    November 16, 2017 at 10:24 am

    The Stormalong Bay pool sounds fantastic! I’ve never been to Disney but would love to some day!

    Every time we go to Disneyworld we see something that we missed during visits before. I know my family would enjoy a visit to Stormalong Bay. Looks like fun!

  20. Jessica Terry says

    November 16, 2017 at 11:45 am

    GAH! This looks like such a fun place to visit. I have always wanted to go to Disneyland! I know for a fact that my family would love Stormalong Bay!

  21. Chubskulit Rose says

    November 16, 2017 at 12:25 pm

    Wow that would be so much fun right now, it’s cold already here at our neck of the woods so it is warming to see this kind of place.

  22. Kimberly Lewis says

    November 16, 2017 at 12:33 pm

    This looks like so much fun! It’s supposed to snow today, so I would love to jump in it right now!

  23. Krystal Butherus says

    November 16, 2017 at 1:04 pm

    Fun for the whole family! Disney has a little bit of everything for everyone! Maybe someday I’ll be able to go to Stormalong Bay!

  24. Ayana Pitterson says

    November 16, 2017 at 1:19 pm

    So need this right about now with how cold DC is getting. I love amusement parks, but the best part for me are the pools!

    This is amazing that it is a beach club waterpark on site. I would love to take a break from the parks and be able to have this as a change of pace.

    This looks like so much fun! I love a good pool or waterpark so this looks like the perfect spot once we take our daughter to Disney. She’s only 1.5 years old so it will be a couple years before we make the trek, we want to make sure she is old enough to remember it.

  27. Cassie says

    November 16, 2017 at 3:44 pm

    This looks like so much fun! When we went to Disney World Florida had some crazy chill come through and we wore so many layers every day. So needless to say we didn’t get to swim!! I wanna go back!

  28. valmg @ Mom Knows It All says

    November 16, 2017 at 5:30 pm

    We’ve seen all of the pools at Disney World and that is a nice one. My Mom goes to Disney World seeral times a year and loves going in the pool and has her list of favorite sin order.

  29. Pam Wattenbarger says

    November 16, 2017 at 6:18 pm

    This would definitely be the pool we would take our granddaughter to. If we ever take her to Disney (she’s 18 months so it would be a while) we would definitely have to stay at one of these resorts.

  30. Jenn @ EngineerMommy says

    November 16, 2017 at 6:22 pm

    That looks like way more than a pool. That looks like a water park. My kids would LOVE that place!!

  31. Bonnie G says

    November 16, 2017 at 8:30 pm

    That pool looks like so much fun. I haven’t been to Disneyland before but hoping to someday.

  32. Lisa says

    November 16, 2017 at 8:50 pm

    I would agree. That is hands down the best pool at Disney. There is something for everyone to do.

  33. AnnMarie John says

    November 16, 2017 at 10:09 pm

    This place is just so much fun and awesome! The kids will definitely enjoy especially since there’s so much that you can love about the place! It’s perfect when you’re looking for a good place for a summer vacation.

  34. Adrienne says

    November 17, 2017 at 8:23 am

    I’ve still never been to Disney. This place looks like a lot of fun and like a place that I would love to go to when I finally make the trip.

  35. Cynthia Nicoletti says

    November 17, 2017 at 10:22 am

    Wow this looks so awesome would love to vacation there. We are headed down to Florida in a few months planning a vacation I will keep this in mind.

  36. Terri Steffes says

    November 17, 2017 at 11:47 am

    Planning a trip to Florida as we speak. I am going to show my husband this resort. I love a good pool!

  37. Amanda says

    November 17, 2017 at 12:27 pm

    The last time I was at Disney–about 20 years ago–this is where we stayed. I remember how gorgeous the pool was then and I see that it is even better now. So lovely!

  38. Jessica says

    November 17, 2017 at 12:38 pm

    That’s a beautiful resort! We live close by, we should look into booking at this place!

    I think the last time I took advantage of a Disney pool was when I was a kid. I’m usually too exhausted or still at the parks to explore the properties. It looks like I’ve been missing out and need to give the pools some consideration on my next trip.

  41. Cindy Ingalls says

    November 17, 2017 at 10:32 pm

    I wouldn’t expect anything less from Disney. This pool looks like a fun place to take a break from the parks while still experience the magic of being at Disneyworld.

  42. Nicole Kamai says

    November 18, 2017 at 6:44 pm

    What a fun pool!! My son would love hanging out there all day! Even my husband would have so much fun!

  43. Heather says

    November 19, 2017 at 10:22 am

    This looks AWESOME! No matter the fun we have in the parks, my girls are always wanting to spend as much time as possible on vacation in the pool!

  44. Anosa says

    November 19, 2017 at 11:41 am

    I always love water, may it be resorts or beaches. Good to know that there are lot of activities here. I am sure it was indeed a great experience for you and your family.
