Water Park tips and tricks

[disneydarling07]

Is there a specific thread for the water parks?
I'm looking for tips, tricks and strategies for each water park.
We are going for the first time, half days and I'm trying to get the most out of it.

TIA!!

We went to Typhoon Lagoon for the first time a few weeks ago. I had read that it is best to get there first thing in the morning (before the park opens), and we found this to be good advice. We were there about 9:35 for a 10 am park opening - they start letting you into the park before 10, but not into the areas with the slides/chairs, etc. We grabbed chairs near MisAdventure Falls and saved them with our bags (which had nothing in them except sunscreen and one phone). We then did a counter-clockwise loop around the park and got on everything before it got super crowded, doing some of the slides multiple times. We then let our kids do the body slides as much as they wanted. By the time we left around 12:30 the park was getting really crowded. It was a fun morning - I would recommend.

Have only done them once... I had seen a tip to be there at opening and do the lazy rivers first, as they aren't fun when it's bumper-to-bumper tubes, so we followed that advice and were well pleased.
