Does your family enjoy spending part of your Disney World Vacation by the resort pool? Then do I have the place for you!

Stormalong Bay, the resort pool shared by Disney’s Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts almost qualifies to be a separate admission water park. This is certainly no ordinary pool.

The theming of the pool complex is based upon the legend of the gigantic sailor named Stormalong who ran his ship ashore where Stormalong Bay now stands. His ship plowed into the shoreline creating the pools and waterways that exist today. The ship still exists today with its mast projecting 150 feet into the sky.

The ship now is home to the complex’s twisty and thrilling water slide. There are three acres of pools in all, including a snorkeling lagoon, an area with a whirlpool current, and a relaxing lagoon.

One unique feature is that the pool has a sand bottom. This helps complete the theming that you are off on some shipwrecked island.

The excellent cast members who work there host a variety of recreational activities each day.

Stormalong Bay is certainly an attraction all to itself and a great reason to book a stay at either the Yacht Club or Beach Club Resort.
