10 Best Children's Activities at Walt Disney World
By Cara Goldsbury
5. Ride up Front with the Monorail Driver
Simply ask the cast member on duty, and he or she will be happy to oblige as long as the front car is empty.
6. Take a Spin on a Watermouse Boat
Rent one of these two-seater mini power boats and zip around one of Disney's lakes at 22 miles per hour. Kids love them, particularly because they only need to be 12 years or older and at least 5 feet tall to drive one without adult supervision. It's all perfectly safe. Available at the Contemporary, Polynesian, Grand Floridian, the Yacht and Beach Club, Downtown Disney and the Wilderness Lodge.
7. Dive into One of Disney's Fabulous Themed Pools
You can't do much better than a dip in one of Disney's wonderful swimming pools. Children's favorites: the Volcano Pool at Disney's Polynesian Resort featuring a smoking volcano slide, underwater music and sparkling waterfall, all with a superb view of the Seven Seas Lagoon; the Wilderness Lodge's boulder-lined pool featuring waterfalls, rocky overlooks, water slide and a nearby geyser; the eye-popping Stormalong Bay, a mini-water park complex that meanders between the Yacht and Beach Club, offering 3 acres of winding, watery delight including sandy bottom pools, a giant "shipwreck" waterslide, a tidal whirlpool, bubbling hot tubs, a kiddie pool with its own slide next to the beach and enough length to float lazily in inner tubes to your heart's delight.
