BB Question About School Age Kids

[emma'smom]

I posted this on a different section, but thought you all might know (really 2nd question):

1- Can someone fill me in on the unlimited drink offer at BB?

2- When it says 10 and under must be accompanied by adult, what does this mean specifically? At the park? Generally supervising? We are headed down next week and I don't plan (41 year old mom) to do much sliding myself. I planned to supervise my kids (who are both strong swim team swimmers) by knowing /watching where they are going as they head to slide entrance and waiting for them near bottom of slide.... Do I have to slide with them? My older DD is 11...she will be with the 8 1/2 year old as they go up to slide entrance. Presuming they are following rules and well-behaved, will they be turned away from sliding if mom is sanding at bottom instead of sliding with them?

1. You buy the souvenir cup at the park and the refills are free. Same as the resort cups or the cups on the dining plan. They don't allow the resort mugs to be used in the WP, but will sell you another one. This may change in the future with the RFID technology, but who knows.

2. Yes, that means to the park. There will be no issues with DD's going on the slides together as long as they younger one meets the height requirements. There are a few that may require an adult if under the height restriction, but I can't remember.

Pp is correct. They can ride the slides without you at those ages. Have a great time

No way 41 is too old to slide - that's my wife's age (I'm 46) and she loves water slides! Though at BB, she skipped the big drop slides and didn't care for the mat slides that zig-zagged down the hill.

I am 35 with a (during the trip) 2 year old and 13 and 15 year olds, and my hubbie. We plan on doing a lot of sliding, including the crazy wedgie slide A lot of the slides are family tube slides that are very fun, so even if you arent a terror ride type, you will really enjoy them. Also, at bb you take a ski lift up to the top so waiting at the bottom would be harder since the lines can get long and your kids would have to stick to whatever they tell you instead of which has the shorter line.... (boo!!) Our last trip our kids were 9 and 11 and we found it much easier to track them if we were in line with them and sliding just after them
