Cabana Rental - Which do you prefer Discovery Cover or Aquatica?

[sdd1841]

We are going to Discovery Cove and Aquatica in Sept and have read about Cabana rentals - I think it will be too much of a splurge to rent Cabanas at both resorts. So....once again asking ofr you opinions!

Would you rent a cabana at DC or Aquatica?...and why?



Thanks!

SO
MUCH!!

We have rented cabanas at both parks on past trips, and have one rented at both parks again for this August . We are cabana junkies .

If you have to pick between the two, definitely go for the cabana at Aquatica..

- Its going to be much less expensive for an AQ cabana in the off-season (which is what September is) than at DC (where cabanas are the same price year round).

- There are more people at Aquatica than DC, so having a private space is harder to come by vs. the tons of loungers at Discovery Cove.

- There are less shady areas at Aquatica than DC.

- The fridge at Aquatica will be a lifesaver (you can always get a fresh cold drink from one of the snack stations or the restaurant at DC). Your fridge at AQ in the cabana will come stocked with 12 bottles of Dasani water.

- You won't have to pay for a locker at Aquatica, as there is one in each cabana.

- You wont have to bring towels to Aquatica with a cabana rental, as there is a supply included (8 towels, if I remember correctly). Towels at DC are plentiful and provided free.

That said....we love the cabanas at both parks .

Because you have been to both parks - any tips for us? we are going the week of Sept 15 and have not been to either. It will be me, my husband and our 2 boys, ages 9 and 11.

Thanks!
