hey guys i just got some tickets for the Aquatica WaterPark, i was wondering how it compares to the Disney WaterParks?
has anyone been?
has anyone been?
I haven't been to either. My sister loves auquatica. She used to go there everyday when she lived in kissimmee. We were talking and she told me that auquatica would be best for our situation. We have 7 kids but the three oldest do not know how to swim. They are diagnosed with fragile x syndrome. So they are big kids who want to have fun too. So the fountain play area is best. I have heard from others that disney is very strict on the height of the kids allowed to play in the kiddie areas. I have heard the disney ones are geared better for the older ones or swimmers.
momto2js said:I don't disagree that aquatica is a good choice for your family but they are quite strict with hight requirements as well. I would suggest that you take some time to get all of your kids in the water and work on the use of life jackets before your trip.
One of the main issue you may have is the climber is so large, it is tough to keep track of the kids. I have 2 and both are good swimmers (we did survival training when they were babies) I ended up following my almost 3 year old and letting my 5 year old go. There was no reasonable way to keep eyes on both kids at one time. The larger slides in the climber do empty out into a pool of water that is 42" deep and there is some current so having them in jackets might ease your mind a little. I remember thinking that if I thought I needed to see both kids at the same time while we were in the park, I would have been a nervous wreck!!!
On the other hand, the "tween" area at Blizzard Beach is much easier to see them, but the water is deeper and the jackets would still be necessary.
