Finding Nemo Pool

The largest swimming pool to date at any of Disney World's hotels is the aptly named Big Blue pool at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. Located in the Finding Nemo courtyard, the pool measures nearly 12,000 square feet. And get this: Swimmers will be able to listen in underwater(!) as characters such as Dory and Nemo talk to one another.

The outside of the Finding Nemo buildings are adorned with fish and other marine life as they swim in the East Australian Current, or E.A.C., which was prominently featured in the movie. At the far end of the pool is the Righteous Reef, a children's play area with oversized props and characters from the film.

Next up: The whimsical Finding Nemo courtyard.
