of the resort, Luna Park has a large pool, with a 200-foot
water slide. This slide, the Keister Coaster, is fashioned
after an old time wooden roller coaster. Two elephants
shower guests as they pass by in the pool. A Jacuzzi is part
of the pool area. Inner tubes and pool noodles are available
to rent and lifeguards are on duty here. There are two quiet
pools, one at the outer edge of Disney's BoardWalk Inn by
