5. Disney’s Vero Beach Resort

This pool isn’t at Disney World but rather at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort located on the east coast of Florida. Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is home to a great pool and waterslide, but even better is the Tiger Lily play area nearby. Little ones can slide down a small slide and splash on a pirate ship. This play area is perfect for those who are too young to swim on their own!
