Fantasia Pool
Swim a spell with Fantasia-loving friends at this magically themed pool, featuring over 230,000 gallons of liquid fun. As Sorcerer Mickey presides over the aquatic symphony, streams of water shoot from the director's podium. Unlike feature pools at most Deluxe category Walt Disney World resorts as well as at the Moderate category Caribbean Beach Resort, the Fantasia Pool doesn't offer zero entry, but nearby, you'll find a small round kiddie pool and play area with a cool "arctic" edge for little ones. Nearby, a giant "iceberg" houses restrooms and a laundry room.
Duck Pond Pool
In the "Mighty Ducks" section, a smaller hockey rink-shaped Duck Pond Pool offers additional opportunities for game play. A Mighty Ducks movie theme and a comical Goofy posing as a goalie pack plenty of appeal for kids as well as adults. Fashioned to resemble a locker room with decorative helmets, lockers and hockey sticks, a nearby restroom and adjacent laundry room welcome "Donalds," "Ducks" and "Daisys."
All-Star Music Resort - Calypso Pool
At the main pool at Disney's All-Star Music Resort next door, kids and families can take part in planned activities from mid-afternoon to late night. Activities range from bingo, scavenger hunts and trivia contests to dance parties, complete with water balloon tosses and hula-hoop challenges. After sundown, G- and PG-rated movies are projected on an inflatable poolside screen.
None of the All-Star resort pools offer slides -- a recreational feature exclusive to Moderate and Deluxe level Disney properties. Life jackets are available at the arcade with a Resort ID. Towels aren't provided on the pool deck, so bring one from your room. Swim diapers are required for non-potty trained children and can be purchased at Donald's Double Feature (open 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.) along with sunscreen, souvenirs and infant and toddler essentials.
Pool hours are 8 a.m. to midnight, and lifeguard hours vary by the season.
Reel Fun Arcade
Located in Cinema Hall, this family fun zone features around 60 games, as well as a prize counter where your kids can trade in tickets for take-home treats lava lamps and board games. Hours are 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Playground
Between the "Fantasia" and "Toy Story" sections, a playground for ages 2 to 12 contains climb and slide structures for younger and older kids, plus bench seating for parents.
Caricature Connection
In Cinema Hall, a Caricature Artist creates playful renditions of parents and kids enjoying their favorite sport, hobby or occupation. Choices range from black and white face portraits ($15) to full body color pictures ($30). Hours are 6 to 11 p.m. daily.
Temporary Tattoos
Next to the Fantasia pool, your kids can get a tattoo of a princess, a pirate or a favorite character. Easy to apply, quick-dry tattoos are $5 to $10 each. Hours are: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 4 to 7 p.m. Complete with a cinema reel and a marquee proclaiming, "That's a Take" and "You'll go Far!," the movie-themed kiosk provides an amusing backdrop for family photos.
