Room, Balcony, Pool View

As the name says, this room has a private balcony with a view over the resort's pools. The resort has three outdoor pools plus the River Falls Waterpark, which includes a 575-foot lazy river, and the main lagoon-style Falls Pool is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM. If you want to watch the resort's pool life from your balcony, this view is a good fit.

You can choose 1 King or 2 Queen Beds, and the room sleeps up to 4 guests in its 427 sq. ft. The beds have pillowtop mattresses, premium and hypo-allergenic bedding and a pillow menu. A rollaway bed is available for a surcharge and a crib is free. Up to three children aged 18 and younger can stay free in a parent's or guardian's room using the existing bedding.

Yes, the room is categorised with its own private balcony, and most rooms and suites at the resort have one. It is a handy spot for a morning coffee, since the room has a coffee/tea maker, or for an evening look over the pool area.

The private bathroom has a shower/bathtub combination, along with towels, free toiletries and a hair dryer. That suits families who want to bathe small children. Rooms with accessibility features also offer low-height electrical outlets in the bathroom, lever door handles, braille/raised signage and visual fire alarms.

A mandatory daily resort fee applies, and the amount varies by date, so check the current figure when you book. It includes River Falls Waterpark admission, enhanced in-room Wi-Fi for up to six devices, and the scheduled shuttle to Disney's four theme parks and Disney Springs, which requires reservations and covers up to four guests. Other listings add driving-range balls and clubs. In the room itself you get a 55-inch TV with Netflix and Hulu and a coffee/tea maker.

It is a strong family choice. The resort is marketed as family-friendly, with a kids' splash zone, seven waterslides, a lazy river and a fenced family pool area. A free crib and a rollaway option help with extra sleepers. Couples can also use it for a longer stay, and the resort has an adults-only West Terrace Spa Pool and The Spa at Orlando World Center Marriott. Those are only a section of the resort, not the whole property.

Dining is on the property, including Latitude & Longitude for American cuisine, Siro Urban Italian Kitchen, Mikado Japanese Steak House, the High Velocity sports bar, the Central Pantry grab-and-go, the Falls Pool Bar & Grill, the Lobby Bar with sushi and a lobby Starbucks. Opening hours vary by venue and season.

The Room, Balcony, Pool View sits in the middle of the resort's room lineup. At 427 sq. ft. it is roomier than the base guestroom category and adds a private balcony overlooking the pool area, which standard inward-facing rooms don't have. Guests who want more space or a suite-level living area should look above this tier, while this category is the better pick for travelers who want the pool scene right outside their door without paying for a full suite.

Expect some energy here. The balcony looks over the resort's pool complex, which includes a nightly laser light show at the main pool and the general buzz of the River Falls Waterpark area during the day. It's a great choice if you like being close to the action and want to keep an eye on kids at the pool from your room, but if you're after total quiet, a room on a different side of the property would suit better.

Yes. Rooms in this category can include lever door handles, braille and raised signage, low-height electrical outlets in the bathroom, a visual fire alarm, and a closed-captioned TV. The bathroom keeps the shower/bathtub combination, and the layout includes hardwood flooring with an area rug underfoot, which is worth noting if you're traveling with mobility equipment.
