At the far end of the lobby area, is both Walt Disney Worlds largest game room and arcade, and a snack shop all rolled into one.  The Food 'n' Fun Center is a family oriented place.  A small TV showing Disney tapes is available, too, just in case your kids don't see enough of those at home.

In the picture above, you can see the TV / sitting area.  The arcade is in the far back left-hand corner, though the circle-shaped archway.

Walking back downstairs to the lobby, then outside to the back of the resort complex, you'll find an expansive brick-paved plaza.  With trees, shrubs, and lawns all bordering on Bay Lake, this part of the resort has a unique modern, but natural feel to it.

The central plaza, in the shadow of the Resort's Tower Building.

The resort's marina, where you can rent water craft of all kinds (including the incredibly fun water mice) or participate in water skiing and parasailing (both by appointment only), is located right off the central plaza...

The Bay Lake Beachfront (the marina is across the way).

...as is the playground that lies next to the North Garden Wing...

...and the rather plainly themed pool which is next to the South Garden Wing.  There are some fountains that squirt water in the pool here, which lends a bit of fun to any aquatic time spent here, and a slide was recently added to the pool.  However, it's pretty clear that there is no attempt to add any festive themeing.  The clean, crisp lines of the Contemporary's Garden Wings and Tower Building provide the only backdrop for swimmers.
