If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE playgrounds (even on vacation!). My kiddos are toddler and preschooler age (2 and 4) and I always consider whether a hotel has a playground when traveling! Playgrounds are a great way to burn energy (especially on non-park days) and my kids would spend hours playing at the resort playgrounds if we let them!
Fortunately, there are lots of Walt Disney World resorts that offer playgrounds on property! Here’s a full list of where you can find them!

Favorite Disney World Resort Playgrounds
Saratoga Springs Resort Playground
This one is my personal favorite for the theming alone! Plus you have a beautiful view of Disney Springs from here (and can walk between the two!). My kids LOVE this one!
Port Orleans Riverside & French Quarter Playgrounds
You can visit either playground when staying at the Port Orleans resorts!
French Quarter:

Animal Kingdom Lodge Playground
I love that you can walk and see the Savanna just a few steps from here!
Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House Playground
This is adjacent to their water play area and it is a FAVORITE in our house! This is our home DVC resort, we love staying and playing here!
Old Key West Resort Playground
This entire playground is sand! My little guy loved that.
Boardwalk Villas Playground
A smaller playset for extra little ones is available here!
Caribbean Beach Resort Playground
Theres a nearby sandy area with hammocks too!
Art of Animation Resort Playground
This one’s theming is obviously amazing! There are slides hidden inside the reef!

We love the riverside playgrounds!!
This is great! Thanks for the info! I wish the Wilderness Lodge had one! We always stay there and the theme could be awesome!!
This is great! Thank you! Do you have to be a guest at the specific hotel to use the playground like you do the pools?
Love this post! Can anyone use these playgrounds? I want to resort hop with my daughter just for this.
Are the playgrounds open to everyone? Or only if you are staying at that resort? Thanks!
We love the art of animation playground! We take the kids there every trip we take!
