Are Disney hotel pools heated?

All of the Disney World resort and park pools are heated all year round to 82 degrees.



Yes, all pools at every Disney Resort hotel (Value, Moderate, and Deluxe) are heated to a consistent 82°F (28°C) year-round. This allows for comfortable swimming even during the cooler winter months in Florida or California. In 2026, this policy remains a standard high-value perk for guests, ensuring that "pool days" are viable regardless of the season. It is worth noting that while the water is warm, the air temperature can still feel "chilly" when you exit the pool in January or February, so many guests bring a robe or a large towel. The pools only close for weather if there is lightning in the immediate area (within an 8-to-10-mile radius) or if temperatures drop into the extreme 40s, which is rare. The hot tubs (available at Moderate and Deluxe resorts) are kept at a much higher temperature, usually around 102°F.
