Waterpark Tips

[pandulce]

Me and my boyfriend will be going to Blizzard Beach this week (so excited) and I was wondering if you guys had any insider tips? Also we will be going to MGM as well. Would it be best to do MGM on Thursday and Blizzard Beach on Friday or vice versa. Thanks!

Get to BB right at opening. You will be able to walk on the rides for the first
1/2 - 1 hour with very little waits. The stairs are faster than the ski lift. The family raft ride is a ton of fun.

MGM HAS Early Entry for resort guests on fri. of this week, so, unless you are staying on property, I'd stay away from that park on fri.

If you want to ride the ski lift, and the regular line is super long, just use the single rider line. It's way shorter and really, who cares if you have to ride with someone you don't know? You just need to get to the top as fast as possible!!!

Remember to stay hydrated at the water park. Being surrounded by water, you don't really think about it, but it's easy to get dehydrated at a water park.

As for MGM, you might want to check out Who Wants to be a Millionaire, since it's closing in August. Honestly - it's a lot of fun!!

We were there in June during Alberto. We ended up going to Blizzard Beach on a day that was overcast and raining off and on all day. It was great! NO crowds at all! We figured if we were going to be wet anyway we may as well be having fun doing it! We had no waits for anything and didn't have to worry about the cement being too hot for our feet.

The slides do shut down if there is lightening, but when we were there the slides were only closed for about 1 hour and that's when we ate lunch.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you watch the weather and have a day that is suppose to be rainy, that might be an option.
