Water park questions.

Do you have to carry your own tubes up the hill/stairs on most of the rides at the parks, or do they have something to get them up there for you?

Our water park at home has a great family raft ride, but it's so hard to get that huge thing up hill with a 2yo stopping to look at every ant and flower on the way! It looks like you don't have to carry the raft on the family ride at BB, but how about other slides with heavy tubes, both at BB and TL? I'm not worried about the smaller, single-person tubes, just the big huge things.

Also, on the chairlift at BB, has anyone taken a 2yo or younger on it? We've taken dd on a chairlift at home, but I held her on my lap. To me, that's easier than trying to get her seated next to me, while I'm trying to sit down myself, but I see on the WDW website that no lap riders are permitted. Was it difficult to get the toddler on the lift?

Thanks!

There are many slides is both BB and TL that you will have to carry up your own tube/mat with you but most of the bigger type tubes are already at the top like for the family rides.

Regarding the chairlift at BB. We did make use of it but my kids were much older. It is a lap bar that keeps you in the seat but I would imagine that a two year old might be able to slip out of it pretty easy if they wanted to. Be aware that the line for the chair lift can rival the lines at some of the bigger attractions at the parks during a busy day so you might just want to hoof it up the stairs.

Have fun!!!!

your 2 year may not be able to go on the chairlist. There is a height requirement for it

Doh! Can't believe I didn't even think to check if there was a height requirement for the chairlift! Thanks for mentioning that, Grumpy Disney Dad. She is tall enough for the 32" height requirement (by 5"!), so I guess I will ask the CM's running it for some tips on how to best get the two of us on at the same time, they must be used to it.

We'll be there in Sept/Oct, so I'm hoping the lines aren't too long. I know my ski bunny 7yo will get a kick out of the chairlift, so I at least want her to get the chance to ride it, while I don't usually mind stairs.
