Caribe Resort
The highlight of the pool at the Caribe Resort is the king of all water slides. Try zooming down this 75-foot long water slide without screaming in panic or excitement. The Caribe is also home to what acts more like a water park and will definitely be a big hit with kids. Another good feature is that the hotel is just a few minutes away from Disney World. The Caribe has spacious rooms with luxurious beds, two-story exercise complex, and offers guests discounts at several of Orlando's bets golf courses, including Falcon's Fire with its yardage computers and exquisitely landscaped course that presents many challenging bunker positions.

Port Orleans French Quarter
While you enjoy the Old World charm of wrought iron balconies and cobblestone walkways that recreate the better aspects of New Orleans' French Quarter, kids will go crazy over Doubloon Lagoon. A giant sea serpent rises from the pool and his tongue is the water slide that transports riders back down into the water. Other great features of this Walt Disney World resort include horse-drawn carriage rides, a bass fishing lake, bike and watercraft rentals, and a fitness center. Best of all, guests here can take advantage of the free taxi ride to any Disney World golf course. Resort guests also receive preferred tee times and discounts on greens fees.
