Water parks

[Kgoulash]

Having only been to bluzzard beach once long ago I don't know much about the water parks. I was reading in a guide that towels cost $2 each? Is that true? Just want to know whether I should plan on bringing our own. Also I am planning on bringing a lunch bag with sandwiches etc. is it a problem to bring your own food and water?
Thanks!

There is a fee for towel rentals. I don't know for sure if it's $2 a person, but there definitely is a fee. You should bring your own.

Bringing your own food should not be an issue. Just no alcoholic beverage or glass containers, and no large coolers

What you can also do for drinks is purchase a mug. They allow unlimited refills on the day of purchase. Then, if you come back, they can reactivate the mug (for a fee, but less than buying another mug) and you'll get unlimited refills.

I've never really understood why people would want to rent towels instead of taking their own? I suppose if you're flying home later that day it means you don't have damp towels in your case, however you'd still have your damp swimmers in your luggage? I mean it's a water park, by default you're taking spare clothing with you to change into to swim in, so why not throw a towel in there too?

I'm not having a go at anyone here by the way, it just amazes me everytime I go that people would go to a water park without taking a towel.

The same reason you might go to the pool without a towel. You might expect them to be available at the pool. But I see your point.

We usually don't bring towels when we go to wdw. In exchange for not having to carry towels to and from Florida on an airplane, we can pay a few bucks there and get them and leave them behind.

Here's another question. Has anyone ever rented private beach chairs at either of the water parks? Is it worth it? And do you need to reserve in advance? Scottish skin needs shade!

They have mugs for unlimited drinks? Why doesn't the four theme parks offer this? I drink alot of water, but my wife runs on Coca-Cola. It would be nice to be able to get a mug. And I tend to buy one every time I go anywhere...

Well fair enough, there is that logic behind it.

The cabanas are really nice....but so expensive - a complete cash grab.

Just get there early and it's easy to snag a nice spot with shade etc.

For us it's convenience...less things to lug aroud...I bring NOTHING into the parks except my cellphone and maybe debit card or drivers liscene in my pocket. The kids aren't allowed to bring anything they won't hold either

But I totally understand those families who bring everything with them...it's just not for us
