Can you swim at Disney World in the winter? Yes! 🏊♀️ Walt Disney World resort pools are heated to around 82°F year-round. The part my fellow moms need to plan for? That windy walk back to the room with four soaking-wet kids. 😂
Here’s how I’d plan a Disney resort pool day in December, January, or February:
☀️ Swim after lunch. I’d aim for 1–3 PM if it’s sunny and the forecast looks good. It’s a great time for a pool break between park plans!
🧺 Bring dry clothes down to the pool. Pack a hoodie, sweatpants, and an extra dry towel for each kid. When everyone gets out at once, you’ll be glad you have them right there.
🏨 Look at the resort map before you book. If swimming is a must for your family, consider a room near the pool or a resort with indoor hallways for part of the walk back.
And yes, I’d still pack the swimsuits for a winter Disney trip. My kids will spot the pool before we’ve even made it to the room. 😂
