The Windsor Hills lagoon pool in winter is heated, which is a big deal when Central Florida mornings turn cool in December and January. A heated pool means swimming stays comfortable even when the air is crisp, so the pool can still be part of your Disney trip.
Why the heated lagoon pool matters in winter
Florida winters are mild, but they aren't always warm. Cool mornings and evenings are common, and unheated water can feel chilly. The lagoon resort pool at Windsor Hills is heated, so a winter swim feels inviting instead of a dare.
What winter pool days look like
Many winter days are sunny and pleasant by afternoon, with clear blue skies. Kids can swim after a morning at the parks or before dinner, while adults relax on the loungers or in the hot tub. Bring a towel and a light layer for the walk back, since evenings can cool off.
Pack for pool time in winter
- Swimsuits and quick-dry towels, plus a cover-up or light sweatshirt.
- Sunscreen, because winter sun is still strong.
- Flip-flops or sandals for the pool deck.
- A change of clothes for kids who stay in the water a long time.
Water park and splash areas
Windsor Hills also has the Sir Windsor AquaVenture water park and splash areas, with slides and a giant splash pad. Read our water park guide and check the resort's current schedule before you plan a visit. Amenities are for overnight guests only.
Pair the pool with the rest of the resort
On a cooler day, the clubhouse has a games room and fitness center, and the resort also has courts and playgrounds. Our pool day guide covers a full day on site.
Private pool at your rental
Many Windsor Hills townhouses and homes have private pools. Whether a private pool is heated depends on the owner, so ask before you book. Our guide to pool heat at Disney vacation homes explains what to ask.
Plan your winter stay
Disney property is about 5 to 10 minutes from the resort, so it's easy to mix park days with pool afternoons. Book direct with a Windsor Hills owner or browse Windsor Hills rentals to find a winter home base.
