Five fitness activities your family will love at Disney Resort hotels.
You’ll go above and beyond your daily step goal by simply exploring Walt Disney World theme parks, but did you know that Disney Resort hotels offer even more activity with its distinctly Disney wellness offerings? From enjoying fitness fun with Simba and his friends to practicing your own touchdown celebration dance, your whole family can practice wellness together.
Disney Family Wellness is a collection of new and existing resort experiences for overall health and well-being, along with amenities including fitness centers, walking trails, and pools. Here are just a few of the unique offerings you can experience on your next fun-filled Disney discovery.
1. Family Fitness
Do you love to dance? Do you love the music of Disney’s The Lion King? Well, do we have the perfect activities for you! Head over to The Lion King area of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort on select days to enjoy an exhilarating family fitness class to get your body moving and ready for the day. These classes welcome guests of all ages for 25 minutes of movement and dance set to a lively soundtrack inspired by Simba and his friends. In addition, there’s the new dance fitness class inspired by The Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House, held weekly, as well as a Moana-inspired dance fitness class at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and storytime yoga family classes at multiple locations.
2. Pickleball, Please!
If you still haven’t tried pickleball, this is the perfect place to learn with the family. It can be played at several recreational tennis courts, including Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village, and Disney’s Old Key West Resort. Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground also has pickleball lines on its tennis courts, while complimentary introductory clinics are available weekly at several locations. And if you forgot to pack your gear, each location offers complimentary equipment.
3. Wellness Scavenger Hunts
At most Disney Resort hotels, family and friends can find hidden wellness challenges while partaking in a scavenger hunt designed within their grounds. Maps can be found at the front desk or a merchandise location. Challenges include taking a victory lap around life-size props during your favorite movies or finding hidden characters on the football field. Upon completion, pick up a button at any merchandise location to commemorate your accomplishment. In addition to scavenger hunts, be sure to check out the Find a Friend activity at every resort, where you can search for a character prop placed around the resort in a different location daily. When you discover the prop, be sure to take a selfie to receive a prize button!
4. On Demand: Disney Family Wellness
As you head back to your hotel to recharge, you’ll also discover wellness on in-room televisions at most Disney Resort hotels. Stretch with your pal Mickey Mouse after a fun-filled day at the parks and explore other short videos about sleep and healthy eating. Or take a few moments with Ashley Eckstein and Star Wars Mindful Matters for a thoughtful lesson inspired by Star Wars.
5. Family Fun Walks & Runs
Lace up those sneakers and enjoy a family nature walk through Disney Resorts! Nature guides full of educational activities can be picked up at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge with select resorts coming soon. And parents, teens, and tweens, if you’re looking for more adult-focused fitness classes, you’ll love the Tai Chi, Aqua Fitness and Yoga sessions, all set to Disney-inspired music. No matter what you choose, be sure to hydrate! You’ll find water bottle refilling stations across Disney Resort hotels, including in pool and lobby areas.
Whether it’s pickleball, moving and grooving, or enjoying the trails, there is something for everyone and every fitness level. Stay tuned for Disney Family Wellness offerings during your next visit.
