Blizzard Beach question

[3kidz4dis]

I understand they have towels at BB, but how big are they and do you carry them around and are they free?

Also, we have 1 swimmer, 1 in the middle and 1 not at all. Do they have floatation jackets there and if so do you rent them and how much? If there is a charge do most people bring their own from home?

I can't remember exactly how much it costs, but there is a nominal fee to rent the beach towels. They are larger than most bath towels, but not as large as a bath sheet. (Maybe 27x50 inches) You do get some money back when you return the towels. I do not think there is a charge for the floatation jackets, but you have to leave an ID. There is a special area for the kids to swim which has a zip line (lands in deep water), and iceberg crossing course and small slides which land in fairly shallow water. We took our son when he was 3 yo and it was his favorite spot! Also, don't miss the family slide, you all get in a large round raft. It's a blast! Have fun!

The towel rentals are $2 per towel, they are the same towels they have provided at the resort pools if you have ever seen those. You don't get any of your money back for returning towels, but you do get part of your deposit back on the locker renals.

Life jackets can be rented from the same place you rent towels (Snowless Joe's Rental) and all they need is a photo ID to hold onto until you return them. You also don't get any of the $2 back. You can bring your own life jackets or water wings but personal inner tubes and other "blow-up" floatations are prohibited.
