What are quiet pools at Disney?

Most resorts have at least one other pool which Disney folks call the “quiet pool.” You don't have to be silent there, and children are certainly welcome to take a dip, but it is the place to be a bit more subdued in your activities. There should be no music, ball-playing, or other raucous behavior.
