Great video, thanks Andrew for wearing the “Andy Cam” and taking us down all those cool slides, that water proof camera worked great! Awesome footage of Stormalong Bay, we can’t wait to experience that first hand in September, I always hope to run into ya in the parks, maybe one day! I like to just float around on a noodle, also fun to blow water out of it on my boys! Be safe in Costa Rica and have fun, fun, fun! Keep those smiles on my friends!

Rick,
I just recently stumbled upon your site on Facebook, and love watching the episodes!
I really enjoyed seeing all the resort pools you covered on this episode! We are staying at Yacht Club in September because of Stormalong Bay! I had heard it was the best!
Thanks for all the information and ride alongs you provide!

Love riding down all the slides! I had so much fun traveling with you both to all the Resort pool areas. I felt like I was there!! As far as a favorite toy or floatation device: I am so boyant, I don’t need help to float! LOL I like to wear a hat in the pool and my sunglasses! I’ll call those my toys 🙂

Thanks for showing us your favourite pools at Disney. We have some new ideas for places to stay the next time we visit. Our favourite is Wilderness Lodge, but maybe we’ll try something new during our next trip. Our children loved watching the waterside footage.

Hey Rick!!! Thanks so much for the great video! We are planning our vacation for next April and it was great to look at all the pools. We are looking at Beach Club specifically for their fantastic pool! I have to say that my favorite pool toy is those torpedos that shoot through the water. My brother and I loved playing with those when we were little! Again, thanks for the great videos and I love your videos every week!

Oh My Gosh!!!!! I am so excited I won the Tow Mater!!!! He is one of my favorite Disney characters. I loved this video about the pools! We absolutely loved the Poly pool. As my daughter Carly said, we are going in April to Beach Club and we are planning a resort day just to enjoy the pool. We also would love to run into you, Leslie and Andrew; it would be a fantastic bonus! Thank you again for my Disney fix Rick and Andrew! Have a wonderful time in Costa Rica,

Rick,
I just loved the pool episode. Our families favorite pool is the Polynesian’s pool, we love the slide and the view of the Magic Kingdom especially when the fireworks are going on because you can sometimes catch a decent view of them and they play the music under the water which is pretty cool. Well anyways keep up the great work I can’t wait until next week we watch every week.

My favorite pool is the ones at Pop Century. I like the fact that they are simple and are big enough for lots of people to use them.

MY FAVORITE POOL TOY/FLOAT TOY ARE MY GRANDCHILDREN!! WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING AROUND WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT THEY WOULD SEE WATER AND GET ALL EXCITED AND BEFORE I COULD GET TOWELS FOR US TO USE “SPLASH” THEY WERE IN THE WATER.
THE NEXT SIGHT FOLK SAW THIS GRAMPA IN THERE WITH THEM HAVING THE TIME OF OUR LIVES MAKING WONDERFUL MEMORIES. ON ONE DAY WE TOGETHER VISITED 10 POOL AND AND MANY OTHER RIVERS, CREEKS, STREAMS, SPRINKLERS, ALMOST FOUNTAINS AND RAIN!!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR POSTS

Thanks for taking us on the tour! My favorite pool that I’ve experienced is at the Beach Club….love the slide and the sandy bottom. The ducks that hang out there are cute too!
[Reply]
Thanks Rick for taking us along to the pools! And Andy for going down the slides! Great fun! I love all the pools at WDW, such great theming. We’ve enjoyed the Poly, WL, POR and SAB pools very much. In less then 2 weeks will be at AKL, and look forward to floating around on my pool noodle, my fav pool toy!!!
I’d have to pick SAB as our fav WDW pool. No contest. Although they are all nice. I could float around all day in the lazy rivers of TL & BB too!

Great pool episode. I could swear I could smell the chlorine in the water. The pools are so great at Disney World. I have seem a few in person, but since you can’ty really pool hop I’ve only been in the Caribbean Beach Resort, and Blizzard Beach.
Hmm, pool toy? I like to sometimes just float lazy-river style on a tube, but any floating thing is fun.
I’d love to see more pools. I didn’t realize that possibly all of the pools have slides. Slides are fun “toys” too.
See you next week. 🙂

Really awesome episode, one of the best. When I was little I liked diving for money. Now I just want to float around.
In 35 days I will be trying out the Jaguar Slide at CSR!!!

So Glad to find your site. How fun.
I just watched your favorite pool video.
I was so excited to see the pool at Wilderness Lodge featured.
I worked at the lodge for 2 years so it’s very special to me.
I have a tattoo of the totem pole (mickey, donald, goofy, humprhey) that is in the lobby there.
Can’t wait to watch more videos.

Hey Rick,
Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed seeing the different pools. I didn’t realize that the pool at the Beach Club Resort was so big with so many things to do. Now I will put the Beach Club Resort on my list of placesI want to stay at when I am at Disney World. Seeing you and Andrew in the pool made me think it would be fun to have a friend go with me to check out all the pools at the Disney Resort. I don’t have a favorite pool toy. I just love being in the water.
I hope you are having a great trip to Costa Rica. See you next week.

Awesome video as usual Rick! I’m really loving the Andy-Helmet-Cam, that’s really awesome. You guys should go on Rock and Roll Roller coaster or Expedition Everest with that! That’d be super sweet. I actually just came back from Disney World and we stayed at Art of Animation! The Nemo pool is defiantly the best, the underwater music is just fantastic, I’ve never seen anything like that.
To the Question of the Week, my favorite pool toy has gotta be my noodle 😀
Have fun in Costa Rica!
See you next week

I really like watching your video’s because it prepares me for my upcoming Disney trips. What a great way to give us Disney addicts insight into places we have not stayed or been. I tend to be a creature of habit and stay where I know I’ve liked the decor or service but the video’s give me a reason to try something new. I would like maybe some video’s of the inside of a few of the resort rooms or time share places so I can make choices without taking any time out of my visits to disney. Can’t wait til my upcpmoing cruise in Dec. We are bringing people who have never been on a cruise or been to Disney. It will be fun seeing the excitement that I first felt. Love the videos.

HI all, Great show. We have 21 months until we are there in WDW. I can’t wait, until we will be making those wonderful memories with my three grandchilden. We will be sure to hit the pool at our hotel.
My favorite pool toy is the float chair. awwww

Great episode. Seeing the different pools was great and gave me some idea of where I want to stay when the family goes back next summer. The pool at the new Art of Animation looks great. I love pool noodles myself.
