I know tickets are expensive, so save some money and for every two days at the parks, have a "down" day of just some pool and relaxation time. The parks can be stressful and overwhelming for everyone. Enjoy these fantastic pools and provide a welcome break for your family. The downtime will be worth it so you can conquer even more the next day.
Whenever we follow this 2 days of parks/1 day pool, our trip is much more enjoyable. Even do most of the day at the pool doing some of the many Disney events also offered (trivia contests, belly flop contest on the cruises, etc.), and maybe a park at night.
Yacht and Beach Club pool - from our room when we got engaged (2004)
Bay Lake Towers pool - Taylor (18 months) running around the splash area (2009)
Goofy Pool on the Disney Magic (2011) - Taylor and Daddy are the only ones in the pool, and yes that is Pluto making an appearance and Tinkerbell on the TV big screen! It was around 10am and we were docked at Grand Cayman and the water was fairly cold...that's why no one is there! :)
