WaterParks - need to bring towels?

[JaxCon]

I think I read some where around here that they will rent towells or you need to bring your own to the water parks? Is that true? Do the hotels, we are staying at Pop, have pool size beach towells or is this something I would need to bring from home?

The water parks have towel rentals for $1. There are ok in size, and quite often we just bring our towels from the resort (they are a little bigger--and we save 5 bucks).

I would suggest just bringing them from the resort. I asked the resort CM's and they said it was ok, because all the towels go to the same laundry location in the end.
Both water parks sell really nice, soft beach towels with the logo name on it, very nice. We're still using our TL one from 4 yrs ago and it has gone through many washings. Its still in great condition.

Do you know the purchase price of the beach towels at the water parks?

I don't know if they have already done it yet, because they closed our Disney Store, but I used to wait until summer was almost over and get the Beach towels from the Disney store, they are big and if you catch them on sale, they are often quite cheap, and if you don't have a disney store in your area, like me, then just go to www.disneystore.com.

I think the beach towels were $20 at the water parks. We just brought our's from our resort. There are many drop off bins for used towels at the parks, so you don't need to bring the wet towels back.

We always bring ours from home, but I always make sure to pack some of our older ones. They aren't as fluffy and don't take up as much room and if someone should take them, I won't be upset. I also like to bring my own towels because it makes it easier to find your seat in the sea of white towels and if somebody takes your white towels they will not be replaced you will have to pay to get another set.

We bought really cheap beach towels from Wal Mart and brought those. They even had Disney characters on them and they were like $4 each. The reason I chose to bring our own is that they are much softer than the resort towels. Our towels from CBR were so rough they would have been murder on our slightly sunburnt skin.
Just something to to think about...

If you decide to buy at the park, bring a laundry marker. New towels have been known to walk away from beach chairs.

Thanks everyone for all the tips. I think I will just bring our own towels.
