Picnic at the car - practical?

[Gumbo4x4]

Or do you leave your cooler in the car and rent a locker for your other stuff, because that is what you are comfortable doing?

Correct. I'm not sure if Noah's Ark has more than one size locker, but the one we rented would not have held all our towels, street clothes, AND a cooler of any kind, that's for certain. A small soft-side cooler by itself would have fit just fine if we hadn't put anything else in there. Six Flags has different sizes, but they're stupid expensive, so we always get the smallest one. I can't imagine putting anything more than a soft-side carry type cooler in a locker though. Whitewater's lockers are bigger - could probably get a soft-side cooler AND clothes in one of those (assuming they allow coolers).

We usually don't bother with our own food at any of the water parks we've been to. The hours of operations are such that we can eat a big breakfast & supper outside the park, and then just pay for lunch (other than Six Flags since the rest of the park stays open 4 hours after the WP closes). I noticed the ones at Disney appear to have a much longer day though, so we could be looking at a much more expensive food day there if we don't pack something in LOL.

Page 9 discussing the rules of a water park the OP has no interest in? Very impressive!

I was referencing the Noah's Ark discussion. But, regardless, color me impressed that this has carried on for so long!

Well, I've gotta accept some of the blame for that

OK, we'll consider you impressed. Feel better? The OP "started" this thread and is enjoying it as much as some of the rest of us. No one has to follow or read if they're tired of it IMO Some threads go on and on much longer than this one about mundane things, and I just stop reading when I've lost interest.

A good portion of the year, an asphalt parking lot in central Florida is hotter than the hammered down hinges of hell.

I'm gonna have to try to remember this - funniest thing I've read in a long time! Thanks Mrs. Bradbury!!

I haven't lost interest. I'm quite entertained!

Thanks for the clarification! Pretty much what I figured by reading between the lines.

Again, I hope you have a great vacation this summer, both at the waterparks and theme parks....no one does it like Disney....have fun!!!
