We don't have tickets for Aquatica, so it has to really be one of the Disney ones.
no problem.
in my opinion, the disney parks are the best in the world.
of course, i haven't been to every water park on earth, but the disney water parks are really nice.
And i say that as a former life guard and mother of water babies.
We LOVE the water.
BB has lots of nice water things for both kids.
it's true that TL has lots of sand, so if your child likes to play in sand, i don't recall how much there is at BB.
But BB has wonderful water things for all ages.
and since they built BB after TL, they improved a few of the attractions - like the lazy river.
both BB and TL have lazy rivers, but the one at BB is slightly better and higly recommended.
for your son - he should go to the back of the park where all the tube slides are. there are 3 together that are awesome! and then another one that's by itself called the downhill double dipper that's great.
oh and the tobaggans are great.
oh and the stormslides
and then of course, the suicide slide in the middle. I don't do that one, but my kids do. (wear a strong swim suit on that one!!)
and for the little one there is a separate area.
BB really is an excellent water park.
The trick is to get to the slides at rope drop before the lines get LONG.
we typically get there for rope drop (they usually let you in at about 10 or 15 minutes before rope drop so you can get a locker etc).
at rope drop we RACE to the back of the park - go on downhill double dipper 3 or 4 times.
Then continue to the 3 long tube slides - runoff rapids
Do those about 4 or 5 times.
Then head to the tobaggan racers - do that about 5 times.
Then the one next to it - snow stormers. Do that once or twice.
Then head over to the family tube slide, teamboat springs (big tube for the whole family) and do that one twice.
Then the kids do the suicidal one - summit plummit. and the one next to it, slush gusher. And we sit in the stands at the bottom watching for them.
Then we go on the lazy river for about 3 times around.
by then it's 11 or 12. We eat ice cream or a snow cone and head back to the hotel.
we are all about the water - no sunning.
we skip a bunch of the slides and we don't do the wave pool. we only do our favorites (and we don't do the kiddie area (tike's peak) or children's area (ski patrol training camp) either of course. no little ones)
