Nick Hotel - 2 or 3 nights?

[Mom23chicklets]

I have 3 nights reserved at the Nick Hotel next week. It's our first time there, and our kids are 12, 10, and 6. The 6 year old loves Spongebob. All 3 love pools, slides, etc.

I read someone describe staying at Nick Hotel as like being at a Chuckee Cheese's, (younger kids love it!), going to bed, and waking up at Chuckee Cheese's. My question to you who have been there is, do you think 3 nights/4 days is Nickelodeon overload? We are renting a condo nearby (Celebration World Resort) with an average pool. Should we save the money and cut back on one night at Nick and do an extra day at Universal Studios or just chill at the condo pool? Or stay with the original plan and enjoy the Nick pools?

Thanks!

We have been there 2x and I have 3 kids also. They were 13, 8 and 6 the first time and 14, 9 and 7 last time. THEY LOVED IT!! Actually so did I. Your kids will love the pool and never want to leave. I would say, if you can afford it, stay the 3 nights. I don't consider it a CEC and it is better for kid's the ages of yours and mine than little ones. We had a blast both times and I could barely get them away from the pool!

I dont know....but I hope there's enough to do for 3 nights because that's how long we are staying in mid-May. I have a 3 year old who loves Dora so I'm hoping that she's thrilled with this place!

We just got back from a one night, two day stay at Nick 4/3-4/4 and that was definetely enough for us. My kids are DS6, DD9 & DD11. DS loved it and probably would've stayed longer but both DD where ready to go by 2 the second day. They liked the pool but I guess we thought this was going to be a little more of an outdoor waterpark not just a few flume slides. We had fun at the outdoor pool with the pool side games and the Nick at Nite Show but definetely for us 1 night was enough. It was great don't get me wrong and I think it's something everyone needs to experience themselves to form their own opinion, but if it were me I'd just only do the 2 days I'd think by the 3rd day it may be a little over kill for your older ones, but the younger one will probably never want to leave. Have fun whatever you decide.

We're actually staying at the Nick Hotel right now, and we're going to be here until Friday. Granted, we have tickets to Sea World and Universal (it's completely a non-WDW trip for which is a little weird for us), so we're not here all day long, but my son is having a blast.

hi,

i have stayed there twice with my nephew (age 3 & 4), and of course, he loves the characters and the bunkbeds etc, BUT it really has a 'motel' feel compared to a Disney or Universal property, and it really is one big waterpark for entertainment - and not convenient to any other attractions really. ANd the food, and other amenities are not great. Two days would be more than enough in my opinion for your kids to enjoy the theming and do the waterpark & arcade.

But you did get a good price - so depending on your other options, it will be more fun for the kids than a condo (if the adults can handle the Chuck E. Cheeziness and noise - I couldn't

have fun!!!
