Caribbean Beach Resort
You don't have to stay inside Disney World to find a waterslide at the pool, but it doesn't hurt. The Caribbean Beach Resort features an incredible pool with a huge waterslide as well as a spectacular waterfall. The entire resort is there to make you feel as if you're staying in a lush tropical paradise. If a waterslide isn't for you, soothe those sore muscles inside the big Jacuzzi. Recreation also includes a jogging trail, biking, and a host of water sports. For romance, try out the carriage rides up and down the river. All Disney resort guests are entitled to free taxi transportation to any of Disney World's golf courses.
