We went and *loved* it. We’ve never been to the water park before, so didn’t know what to expect but certainly enjoyed exploring it. Rode everything, I think: the big drop slides (Humunga Kowabunga), the Storm Slides (multiple times), Surf Pool, lazy River (Castaway Creek), Mayday Falls, Gangplank Falls (too long a line for the experience?), Miss Adventure Falls (multiple times) and Crush’n’Gusher (multiple times).
Ice cream? Yes!
Food? Yes! (We chose the long lines at Typhoon Tilly’s)
Special Event Merchandise? Yes! Nice design on a T-shirt, Hat and Tumbler.
The dance party kept the music pumping and energy flowing. We don’t do character greetings, but we saw Pirate Chip (?) and the program mentions the Fab 5. We also didn’t do the Exec Meet and Greet (which we normally would do ... but didn’t quite feel up to talking about anything serious while wearing our bathing suits).
Loved it. Had a blast. Enjoyed it more than most park parties ... but likely because (A) we’ve never been there before and had to try *everything*; and (B) it was very physical. Felt great!
