Splitsville Bowling

[mslhb]

So I e-mailed Splitsville to ask about reserving a lane. I got the pricing back and it is $125/hr per lane + shoe rental is additional. That seems really expensive. I haven't gone bowling in a really long time but that just seems like a ton of $$. For anyone who has bowled there is it worth the money. If you didn't reserve a lane and just walked in about how long did you wait?

Wasn't sure where to put this thread but I chose restaurants since you can book it through the Disney dining site. We had planned on eating while we bowled.

I very much enjoyed Splitsville I've been a couple of times and I have not waited at all however I have gone during the afternoon and have heard at night it can get busy probably hour long waits...

It is very pricy to just bowl but not as pricy as if you reserve a lane...

I would suggest going around 5:30 and then bowl and eat...

I enjoy it a lot and recommend going!

I think this is because when you reserve a lane you are basically just moving to the front of the list of people waiting. In fact, I think I have seen that if you show up and there is a long list, if you are willing to pay the $125 that you will move up and just need to wait for the next available lane.

If you go down to the "Splitsville" section on the below link, it has some of the pricing breakdowns.

I looked up the few bowling places I've gone to in various cities and 1 hour lane rental was between $25 and $85 per hour. Most seemed to be in the $40-60 range though.

So if you consider a Disney price bump, $125 sounds about right...
