What to Bring to IOA

[disneylvr11]

This Tuesday I'm going to IOA (Islands of Adventure) with my Church Youth group and Idk what to bring. It's going to be a high of 90F and a 60% chance of thunderstorms. I also would like to know what rides are fun. I mean I've been there before but I was six and that was a long time ago. I am a coaster junkie. The last time I was there I rode the HULK.

Any tips would be awesome.

We're going to be eating lunch and dinner there so I would like to know where to eat.

Recap- I need to know where to eat, what to bring, and what to ride. OH! And what to buy I will have $50

Thx!

Bring an extra change of clothing due to water rides - plenty of spots of get wet.

The best advice I personally have for IOA when it is that hot is come prepared to get wet. There are opportunities to get sprayed everywhere, plus the water rides.
We all wear bathing suit trunks/or womens running shorts with a built in undie that dries super quick. The men wear tank tops and the women wear bikini tops with a loose fitting tank top over it to stay cool.
I also have special sport sandals that are a river sandal so I do not have wet socks, sweaty feet. You will get wet, to heck with hauling around an extra set of clothes---just wear soemthing that will dry quick (IE no denim)

I would say don't carry a bag around with you if you can help it, because you will have to stow your bag in a locker for a lot of the rides. Get a $1 plastic poncho from Walmart and brave the rain!

What rides are fun? What rides aren't fun? The High in the Sky Trolley is the only ride I can think of that isn't fun.

We like to eat at the Enchanted Oak across from Dueling Dragons. It's a great place to escape the heat and/or rain!
