Best Disney area off-site resort pools/slides?

[goofygirl17]

Hi,

We're planning on going to Disney in July and I am trying to find the best off-site resort w/ cool pool/slide. My kids love OKW and the dance party at the pool but we can get several weeks in trade off-site as opposed to a one week trade onto Disney property. I waited too long to trade into Bonnet Creek.

Any suggestions?

The resorts showing availability to trade are:
Wyndham Cypress Palms- stayed there last year- nice but boring pools
Villas at Summer Bay Resort
Vacation Village at Parkway- stayed there twice now, plain pool, no slide
Summer Bay Resort
Star Island
Silver Lake Resort (and Resort Points)- not sure what the difference is but listed separately
Sheraton Vistana Fountain Villas (and Vistana Resort) " "
Polynesian Isles
Orlando International Resort Club
Orbit One Vacation Villas
Legacy Vacation Club (3 different)
Kingstown Reef
High Point World Resort
Grande Villas Resort
Grand Lake Resort
Cypress Point Resort

Thanks!!

If you have kids the sheratons are the best for pools and activities

Spent 4 weeks there and kids didn't get bored

Sheraton Vistana Fountains is a winner - good pools and walkable to other pools and a fairly similar dance party at another of the Vistana Rsort phases.

Little ones Loved Harbor Lake

between the pirate ship and the water play area and the slide there was LOTs for little ones......I think older kids may not be as well entertained but anyone under 10 should have a blast (and it's not so big that you can't easily get around to all the pools and play areas).

* We also loved Reunion resort with the lazy river, zero entry, slide and water play area. Actually didn't even go to Disney the few days we were at Reunion.....so much fun in the pool.

does marriott lakeshore have anything?

because if you stay there, for additional fee family can use ritz carlton pool, and adults can use ritz carlton spa pool,

So Sheraton Vistana isn't available the weeks we want to go but we could get 2 consecutive weeks at Silver Lake. No slide but the pool and units look nice. Any opinions?

Thanks!
