Any ways to save at either water park?

We are doing Blizzard Beach one day and then Typhoon Lagoon the next, are there any ways to save there? We already plan to pack a cooler.

Only bring in what you absolutely have to or have a plan for people watching valuables so you don't have to rent a locker. Also bring your own towels so you don't have to rent them.

buy the refillable cup. I forget what the original price is but you get free refills all day. Bring it back the next day and pay something like $10 for refills for that day.

if you are bringing a cooler, no sense in refill mug IMHO. No real discount but find an area and claim it with your stuff, do NOT leave valuables and use a locker instead (only if you have too) . Bring towels, maybe water shoes, pavement gets HOT, and have F U N! Great parks!

Ditto to all of the above.
We love the WPs and bring a rolling cooler filled with drinks, sandwiches and snacks (we stay in our T/S or our DVC so have a stocked fridge).
We bring our own towels from the pool. We let the kids get an ice cream or a funnel cake (that is what they usually get) and that is about all they ask for when there (they are older though 12 and 16). The rest is all in my cooler or backpack. You really don't need to spend too much there.
We do rent a locker since my dh has our car keys and his wallet.
We have the WPs left as plusses on our old 10 day non expiring hopper passes. The cost, per trip now, really doesn't come to much and with the cooler I feel we really have a great low cost and relaxing, fun day.
Have fun.

I think the best way to save at the water parks is to add the water parks and more option to your park ticket. You then get 2 water park or DQ entries for about $55 as opposed to approx. $42 per day if you just go to the water park.

As long as you bring in limited valuables (like your car key and a few bucks), and all your food, you shouldn't spend any money. I have never rented a locker and our stuff hasn't been touched. Not to say it doesn't happen - but never to us.

Leave the wads of cash/plastic in the car/room -- instead, why not carry one card, or put your funds on a Disney gift card (which, incidentally, is easy to replace should it get lost or stolen).
