Hey Howdy HAA Everyone!

It’s London, and welcome back to HAA Disney: Give Me a Review! Inspired by the “Hey Disney” voice assistant at Walt Disney World Resorts, this series is your virtual concierge for honest reviews, magical tips, and theme park insights to help you plan smarter. This week we are chatting about an off property Walt Disney World stay, that brings splashtastic fun… dare I say more fun than a WDW Resort pool and water park!

Reunion Resort and Golf Club: Waterpark

Reunion Resort and Golf Club in Kissimmee, Florida, is a luxury vacation destination just minutes from Walt Disney World. Known for its sprawling villas, championship golf courses, and family-friendly amenities, it’s especially famous for its five-acre on-site water park—a standout feature that rivals many Disney resort pool areas.

Here’s what you’ll find:
💦 A winding lazy river perfect for floating the day away
🏄 A massive waterslide for thrill-seekers of all ages
🌊 A zero-entry pool for easy access and kid-friendly fun
💧 Interactive splash zones and water play areas for little ones
🍹 A poolside bar & grill serving burgers, wraps, salads, and refreshing drinks

What sets this water park apart is its relaxed atmosphere—you get the fun and features of a large resort pool without the overwhelming crowds of Orlando’s big theme parks. It’s perfect for rest days between park-hopping or for families wanting to mix Disney magic with a slower-paced pool day.
