Aquatica, anyone rented the lounge chairs?

We were just at Water Country today. I noticed the lounge chair rentals came with an umbrella, but it didn't seem wide enough to provide a lot of shade.

We're going to Aquatica next week, and wondering how much shade there is for the lounge chair rentals? I don't mind paying for shade, but I just priced cabanas, and they're not in the budget. So I'm considering the lounge chair rentals. Are there places in the park with adequate shade, without renting?

At Water Country, ironically, there is more shade at the H2O kids' play area for free, than provided by the lounge chair rentals over at Hubba Hubba Highway.

We've been to Aquatica on two separate trips, once in May and once in July. Both times we visited the park twice during the week we were there. We never had trouble finding free lounge chairs. In July we got there right at the park opening and were able to get all of our seats under umbrellas. In May the crowds were small so we didn't have to hurry for seats, we pretty much had our pick all day long. We like the sandy beach area by the wave pools, it's pretty central and when the kids are tired of slides they like to play in the waves.

Haha, sorry had to edit, I typed Discovery Cove instead of Aquatica because I have it on my brain right now, lol.

Thanks!!! We just returned, and I second what Tonaly said. I was very surprised at how many free chairs there were, many with umbrellas.
