Grand Cypress is the family resort for parents who want the parks close but the pool spectacular. Its centrepiece is an 800,000-gallon lagoon pool with waterfalls, grottoes and a tall waterslide tower, backed by a lazy river, a private lake with watersports and complimentary theme park shuttles. It sits in Lake Buena Vista, minutes from Disney, so you get resort-style days and easy park access.
Our verdict
Grand Cypress is a strong middle path: a spectacular pool complex and green grounds for resort days, with Disney a short shuttle ride away for park days. Just factor in the resort fee and the paid kids' club, and it rewards families who want more than a park-gate hotel.
The rooms
Comfortable, recently updated rooms in a single landmark tower, with plenty of layouts that take a family of four and connecting options for more. The scale is manageable for a big resort, so the walk from lift to pool is short. Cots are free on request, and higher floors give sweeping views over the lake and grounds.

Parents also ask
How close is it to Disney?
It sits in Lake Buena Vista, roughly a 10 minute drive from the Walt Disney World parks, and it runs a complimentary scheduled shuttle. Universal is about 20 to 25 minutes away by car, so a hire car adds flexibility if you plan to mix both.
Is the pool safe for young children?
The lagoon pool has shallow zones and a separate water jet splash area for little ones, with lifeguards on duty. The tall waterslide is for older, taller children, and the private lake is a supervised watersports area rather than a swimming beach.
Is there a kids' club?
Yes, Camp Hyatt offers a supervised children's programme, but it is a paid extra rather than complimentary, and hours vary by season. Book ahead if you want an evening out, as places can be limited in peak weeks.
Are there family rooms?
Standard rooms with two beds take a family of four, and connecting rooms are available for larger groups who want a door between the children and the parents. Cots are free on request for babies.
