The Padddock
The Paddock
The Paddock is my personal favorite area of the resort. Not only does this area have a feature pool, but it is just a short walk across the lake bridge to the Carriage House.
Glide down a 146-foot-long water slide that flows from atop a water tower. And make your way out of the pool along a gently sloping, zero-depth entry point to ride it all over again. Afterward, relax in a horseshoe-shaped whirlpool spa.
Children can make a splash in the aquatic play area boasting two pint-sized water slides—including a miniature curving slide.
Start your day at the Paddock Grill with classic breakfast fare. Later, savor American favorites like burgers, salads, sandwiches, and refreshing alcoholic specialty drinks.
Congress Park
Congress Park
This section is closest to Disney Springs which you can easily walk to via the pedestrian bridge and for this reason, the rooms here are considered preferred rooms.
Here you will find an all-ages leisure pool — with a whirlpool spa. In addition, this area features a children’s playground and a barbeque grilling area.
The Carousel
The Carousel
The Carousel is the second stop on the theme park bus route. This section does not have a leisure pool but does have barbeque grills. The paddock pool is just a short walk or bus stop away.
Rooms in this section are considered preferred rooms due to their proximity to the Carriage House.
The Grandstand
The Grandstand
The Grandstand is further from the main road and maybe a quieter location. The Grandstand is the first stop on the bus route. The building with rooms 8501-8836 is closest to the Carriage House.
The Grand Stand has a leisure pool — with a whirlpool spa. In addition, this area features a children’s playground and a barbeque grilling area.
BackStretch Pool Bar, open seasonally, serves refreshing non-alcoholic drinks, beers, and cocktails. There is also a selection of poolside snacks, including ice cream, pretzels, and pizzas.
The Treehouse Villas
Treehouse Villas
The Treehouse Villa area is where you will find the unique treehouse villas.
These stand-alone accommodations will sleep up to 9 plus a child under 3. Perched 10 feet above the ground, these units have amazing views.
The master bedroom has an attached bathroom and a queen size bed. On the opposite side of the treehouse are two additional bedrooms and another full bath.
One of the bedrooms has a queen bed, and one has bunk beds. You will find a sleeper sofa and a sleeper chair in the living room and kitchen area. The unit features a full kitchen.
The villas are located in a remote separate section of the resort, accessible by bus and boat transportation. For this reason, I highly recommend that those staying in the treehouse villas have access to a car to make transportation easier.
The Tree House Villa area has a leisure pool with a whirlpool spa.
