As promised, my trip report!
While in the planning stages I visit here CONSTANTLY, to get tips, ideas and just to live vicariously. lol
Trip was me, (the mom) 16 (D) and 14 (S) yr old sons.
May 4-8
Cabana Bay
Unfortunately S, my 14 yr old was sick for most of this trip. It definitely put a damper on it, but he had one night and a full day, thankfully, so he got to enjoy some of it! The three days he was unable to leave the hotel room me and D went to the parks first thing, before he woke up, got back to the hotel by 11-ish, hung out with him for the afternoon and then went back to the parks dinner time until 7 or so. I was def torn, not wanting to leave him, but also knowing that I had another child that had been waiting for this trip for so long.... this "sick" is not uncommon for S, without going into detail, he's not in pain, he's just... uncomfortable. And a theme park is not the place he wants/needs to be. He did a lot of sleeping, playing on his computer and phone, watching TV. Same thing he would of been doing at home. I told him I owe him another trip. And there is a lot me and D did not do, because we were waiting to see if S would feel better....
Cabana Bay - love it. Totally retro! Staff is amazing. Food court was good. We had burgers, spaghetti, pizza, roast chicken. It was all really good. Prices were fair and the kids meals were totally big enough for me and S. D, on the other hang, needs lots of food. lol
The lazy river was perfect, exactly what I wanted it to be. We spent a lot of time going round and round. The other pool, with the slide... the slide was fun, but honestly, I didn't really like that pool. Not sure why, but the vibe was not good to me.
We hit the parks at 8 am each day and honestly, by 11, we were done. Not crazy crowded at all. Great time to go! Except they close so early! I would like to visit when they are open later. My favorite ride this year was Kong, for sure! Horror Make Up Show was great fun. Never got on Minions, it was the one ride that was 40+ minute wait all day every day. Rip Ride Rocket, OMG. Crazy. Glad I did it, but once is enough! Hulk was amazing, Dragons rocked. Of course Harry Potter stuff was super cool.
It was nice to be there 5 days, we took our time, did not have to rush or stress. Looking forward to our next trip!
If anyone has questions, I'm happy to answer!
