What do you take to water parks?

The only competition with either of the Disney water park is US Volcano Bay, and ... on technical merits VB is a fine park. But honestly, I'm so done with Universal that I don't even bother anymore.

As a teenager I loved water parks. As a parent I find the chaos, pushy wet people, and the billion gallons of liquid murder an un-magical combination. It's the kind of place that begs for day-drinking except for the responsibility of keeping my children from drowning makes that a non-starter.

Also, I have a condition commonly referred to as facial blindness which means I have to look long and hard at people before I recognize them and ... that makes me look like a creep at water parks. So ... they're not really on my list of must-dos

If we have a WDW trip over 6 or 7 nights I try to get us into a water park once at least. But ever since they took out the Shark Reef at Typhoon Lagoon, there's just not much at a water park I just gotta see.

Thanks for your response. Same here, I'm not big on waterparks but my kids and husband are. They give me anxiety, and I am just a worry wart watching over my kids. They are no fun when crowded, so we were looking at doing the H20 glow nights.

Ok totally OT, but I had to google that and wow, I had no idea that even existed! Yes I imagine that might get awkward...I just wanted to say thanks for sharing. You learn something new every day!!

It's often the first thing I tell someone. Like, "If it ever seems like I'm pretending I don't know who you are ... give me a couple seconds on that." Most of the time I'm pretty seamless at recognizing people based on other traits. Then sometimes I'll stop to look at something in the store and my wife keeps walking a bit and I look up and it's like, "Well, I guess I'm an orphan now" (yes I know that's not how it works).
