Beach towels??

[Holly324]

Hello everyone! Quick question. Do I need to pack beach towels? We plan on hanging out at our hotel pool, along with at least 2 days at water parks. Do they provide towels, or do I need to bring my own? Thanks!

They do provide towels, however I prefer to bring my own. They aren't beach towels they are smallish sized bath towels. You are also supposed to leave them there when you leave and we like to wear ours back to the room.

Quibble: the resort pools provide beach towels free of charge; the water parks only RENT them, for $2 towel (hotel towel size).

Lots of folks borrow towels from the resort pool areas and take them to the water parks; it's frowned on, but people do it.

We bring our own towels for water parks, but not for the resort pool; we just use the hotel towels for that. (2 reasons for this: unique towels work better to mark your spot at a water park, and not using them at the hotel means that they have a chance to dry before we head home -- wet towels on a plane can get pricey.)

I also bring a couple of swimmer's chamois to use in the theme parks after wet rides.

The gift shops at the water parks sell beach towels, but beware of buying them there -- thieves like to target brand-new Disney-themed towels left out on chairs.
