- Disney’s Beach Club Villas, Lake Buena Vista, FL
Stormalong Bay is a three acre beachside waterpark available to guests at Disney’s Beach Club Villas. Yes, that’s right – a gigantic 750,000-gallon waterpark on a beach! And get this – its amazing waterslide is accessed only by climbing the mast of a shipwrecked boat! Happily, for those of you looking for a more peaceful way of getting wet there is a Lazy River. And the little ones will have fun at the Guppy Bay kiddie pool. Timeshare rentals here start at $176/night. - Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort, Cocoa Beach, FL
Basically situated on Cape Canaveral, this water complex will have you dreaming of space travel as you blast 248 feet down the incredible 4-story high waterslide (see photo).

Your youngsters can enjoy water fun just their size at the interactive “Just for Tots” pool. Timeshare rentals here start at just $159/night. - Harborside Resort at Atlantis, Bahamas
