Lost City of Cibola Pool
An elaborate five-story reproduction of a Mayan temple, complete with a working waterfall, is the showpiece of the expansive Lost City of Cibola main pool complex, which features a 123-foot jaguar waterslide and a 22-person hot tub -- one of the largest at any Walt Disney World resort. Nearby, a rectangular kiddie pool has a spraying fountain and is surrounded by lounge chairs. Each morning, there's a pool opening ceremony that kids can participate in. Complimentary towels and life vests are provided, and swim diapers are required for non potty-trained children. They're available at Panchito's Gifts and Sundries (open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.), along with baby and toddler supplies, souvenir items and limited groceries. Hours are 8 a.m. to midnight and lifeguard hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Quiet Pools
Located in each of three main lodging areas (Cabanas, Casitas, Ranchos), non-lifeguarded village pools are a great spot for families looking for a peaceful break. They're open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Towels aren't provided, so bring one from your room. Near each Village pool, there's a Guest Laundry.
Explorer's Playground
Kids really dig this playground, a resort oasis for children ages 2 to 12. Featuring a real swing set (one of only a few on Disney property) with three traditional swings, two play structures with slides for smaller as well as bigger children and two sandboxes for excavating and digging, it's an ideal spot to blow off some steam after a long day of touring. There's limited shade, so be sure and slather on the sunscreen.
Iguana Arcade and the Ball Court
Twin reptile heads welcome guests to the Iguana Arcade, a small poolside game room containing around 30 games. It's open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Just outside, you'll find foosball and ping pong tables and nearby, there's a sand volleyball court. If balls run out, you can borrow more from a lifeguard (valid resort ID required).
La Marina
At the resort Marina, guests can rent boats and cruise 15-acre Lago Dorado, or else borrow bikes and take a scenic trek along the 0.9-mile Esplanade. Half-hour boat rental options range from kayaks to SeaRaycers to Boston Whalers, and surrey bikes as well as traditional bikes can be rented by the hour or by the day. The marina is open seasonally. If you're set on biking and boating, you might consider staying at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort or Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort instead -- these moderate properties offer full-time Marinas with more predictable rentals.
