question about water parks

[ebonyeyes]

Hi all,
We plan on spending some time at Disney's water parks on our upcoming vacation. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to set up camp for the day.

Get there early and you can scope out which area has the table and/or shade that you want. Those area's go quickly. We like both BB & TL but prefer TL. Our group loves the wave pool at TL and it has a few thrill rides, it's amazing, we can spend the entire day there. BB has more hard water rides, and the wave pool is not the same type as TL. You can bring in a cooler at either park if you like or are able, I find it makes it easier for water access and snack like fruit etc., the only rule is no glass bottles allowed.

I highly recommend swim shirts for all that burn easy. Florida sun is brutal and the kids and even adults don't mind wearing them, you can be out all day, in and out of the water without having to worry about sun screen except for your face.

Lastly, just as you enter the main parts of each water park, look for the cart that sells warm mini donuts w/ glaze or chocoloate sauce dip. Agreat way to start the day. They sell them by the dozen! Yum.

Have a wonderful time, we'll be there second week of June!

Hey they also have a EMH evening at TL and it has been in the past....on Sat. nights. We have been a few times on Sat. and it is great. The park is hardly crowded and you have plenty of time to enjoy the slides, wave pool and lazy river. We usually get there around 5 when the crowds are leaving and EMH started at 7 I believe when we went in Aug. but it started at 8 when we went in July and EMH is 3 hours.

We have been to BB during the day.....and it was packed. The lines for slides take forever. I have heard to either get there early or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds. However BB fills up very very fast even when you get there early. Avoid Fri-Sunday because locals make the crowds evern worse. TL is our fave. Also the sidewalks are HOT HOT HOT during the day so wear something on your feet. Have fun.
