You've ruled out the best pool, Stormalong Bay. Maybe WL would have been my pick after that, but you are looking for something else. Hmmm. I'm thinking either the Poly, or All Star Movies. Both have well themed pools, IMO. I might add in Coronado Springs resort as well. The other pools around the property are fine, and may have other attributes that make them desirable (such as being secluded and less crowded) but to me, most of them are just ordinary pools.

SO pretty and relaxing, and it was never as crowded during our stay as most of the other resport pools we've visited.
