Atlantis Day Pass - Disney Dream stopover - what beaches are included?

[Henry755]

Has anyone visited Atlantis on the "Beach for a Day" pass? What beaches are actually included? I get different answers having called multiple times. One woman said all beaches except for "Cove Beach". Another woman said "Coral Beach" and "West Beach". I don't even know what West Beach is!

Thanks in advance!

Atlantis is not terribly organized imo. We did the Aquaventure day pass and it was a one off I felt.

The check in was disorganized: some kiosks had lines 30 deep and others had hardly any wait.

Some of the lack of supervision was amusing in a throwback sort of way: one smaller slide had kids going down in triple decker sandwiches backward.

Staff were hit or miss. Some were Disney-level helpful, others were not.

The River rapids were crazy. A wave caught my lightweight 9 yr old son’s tube at just the right crest and he catapulted through the air. I dove in to save him. We laugh about it now, but that would never pass inspection in most states, and people can get hurt. I think in general it felt very crowded to me and not relaxing.

With regard to your query, there are You Tube videos with folks having your exact question and not getting a confident answer.

Its a nice place to try exactly once in my opinion.

Short version of that thread: I think the beach pass only includes access to Cabbage Beach and the lagoon, mostly because the other beaches are only accessible to Aquaventure or Cove/Reef tower guests.

P.S. The staff in the call centers (located in Ft Lauderdale) often confuse Paradise beach and Cove beach. Paradise beach is the only beach that is sort-of exclusive. Its chairs are only for guests in the Reef and Cove towers at Atlantis, but all beaches in the bahamas are public to the high water mark.

The river system was manufactured and designed by a company in Texas. Its been called a torrent river, and there are several installations in the U.S.

Thank you. I stand corrected.

I guess I meant that it was a bit more raucous than I was used to. Could exist here too.

Didn’t someone die at Schlitterbahn?

I think you're thinking of the accident in Kansas City on what was the worlds's tallest water slide.
