Nick Hotel and Slime

[Airedale]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been to Orlando in ages and am tentatively planning a quick stop off (non-Disney) as part of a southern road trip. We were tentatively looking at spending a night at the Nickelodeon Hotel, mostly for the experience, then moving on.

Two questions though. First, is it still as bad as I've heard? It seems like people either love it or hate it, but hearing about the grime in the rooms worries me.

The other thing is that we'd be looking to get slimed when we stay. I know there's the big bucket of green water at the pool, but has anyone tried the ultimate slime experience thing or the poolside slimings? If so, how does it work and is it worth the money?

Hi! I hope you're still around to read this!
I haven't stayed there in about five years. But even then, people were complaining about the rooms. I don't know how it is today, but I have found that people will go out of their way to complain and not to compliment. I never had a bad experience with our room. Always clean, everything in working order. My kids loved it there and would ask to leave the park to go back to the hotel! They have outgrown the water park there and the theming, and would much rather stay on site now.
Now, the sliming. I wouldn't waste your money. You are paying to have cold goo poured on your head while you stand in a kiddie pool. The mass sliming is once a day at the pool and free. The big water bucket pours out green water. My kids thought that was fabulous. Also they do a poolside double dare and a show inside. Also free. The poolside show they pick kids at random and dump green water on them at the end. The inside show, you need to get tickets in the morning for but it is free. They again pick random people and the winner gets slimed with real slime.
I hope I helped a little. Maybe someone that has been there recently can help.

Last time I was there they were doing a photo shoot for their web site. I just looked and if you go to their Visual Gallery Dining section, you can see my knee behind the "family" dining at the pool.

We got picked to be in the show and won, but only the team captain gets slimed with the real slime. I think you can pay extra to be slimed with real sime in a private event but it is really not worth the money. Make green slime at home. LoL.

Thank you to everyone for the information! I'd still like to hear from somebody who's done the private sliming, but this is good to think about.
