beach club pool question

[d-r]

Somebody help my memory here, because I may be remembering it wrong.

You know how you go across the sidewalk to the ship where you go up for the big water slide. I *thought* I remembered a little bit, just straight slide in there. For little bitty kids. I *thought* that it was just a few feet long, and just a straight slide with no curves. I thought it would be fun for our toddler.

But on our last trip, there is a whole little pool in there, with a little slide that is bigger than what I thought I remembered, it has a curve or two in it.

Am I remembering a striaght little water slide from somewhere else? Or did they change the water slide in the ship?

The only slides I'm aware of at SAB are the Big Jib jammer slide and the little one at the back of the ship for the little kids. The little one at the back of the ship is small enough for my 4yr old who tried it for the 1st time at age 3 with just a pair of swimmies on

OTher than that....they're aren't any other slides.

Take a look at Tagrel's slideshow of SAB.

That slide had not changed between our two trips in Nov03 and Feb05 (after the rehab.). It was a smallish slide but still good for my scardy cat 8 year old.

Thanks for the great link. Made me long to be there immediately! Got to wait til October :-(

This slide/small pool has been in the shipwreck for as long as we have been going to Stormalong bay... This is probably the best picture I have showing both the kiddie pool and slide.

I remember a small slide too, about 3 feet in lengh. Kind of away from everything else. And the water probably went up to your calves. I thought it was by the ship wreck too.

Thanks everyone.

I swear, I remember a really small, straight slide, just like Kerlynne described. It was only a few feet long. I really thought it was at the ship wreck, and the more I think about it, I can't think of anywhere else it could have been. Weird. I don't think we stayed at the beach club until late 2002. We had are wedding at the little yacht club gazeebo in 2000, so maybe I saw it then. Tagrel, you have a good picture of what it looks like now. How long have you been going there?

But I could have sworn there was a little bitty thing. I don't know. Thanks so much for the replys, I would have thought I had dreamt it but Kerlynne described just what I remembered.

You know what, it is probably just a difference in my perception. Probably before we had kids and I was going down the big slide, that slide probably looked really tiny. Now, with a 16-month old, that little slide probably looks really big to me now. Just seeing things in a different way.

Tagrel, you have a good picture of what it looks like now. How long have you been going there?

We have been going since 1999 and the small slide has been the same for each of our trips. I do not remember a smaller slide anywhere at SAB... Maybe before 1999?

Thanks, Tagrel.

I'm thinking that what used to seem tiny to me, looks really large now compared to our little one. That makes sense to me.


When I was 4, our family loaded up in a brown station wagon and we drove to florida, and went to disney world which had just opened. I only have a couple of memories from that, but the one thing I remembered the most was this huge rocket ship slide play ground structure at the hotel we stayed at (we stayed in st. cloud). It was this gigantic structure, you could climb up and there was a platform up in the rocket, and a really large metal slide down from there. Also, there were beams you could swing on, climb on. It was very cool.

Later we moved to Florida, and one weekend as a teenager some friends and I were driving to wdw. We past this motel, and holy cow. There was the rocket ship. It was this rusty little thing, maybe 6 feet high, with weeds growing through it.

I don't know why they changed it like that.

okay D-r we are not going crazy! Just like Tagrel has , I found another site, that has a picture too. Not sure how to put picture in. So I will share the link. 3rd roll down, 5 picture across i believe....

Yup, that is the kiddie slide at SAB. Its the same one as shown in my picture above. It is very short and straight with just a couple small 'bumps'. Here is another angle:

Our little ones have enjoyed that slide since being about 18 months old (riding on our laps) or being caught at the bottom.
