Waterparks with young kids
Hi everyone.
So we'll be going to WDW with children aged 4 1/2, 2 1/2, and almost 1. Now, obviously there are SOME things for young kids at the waterparks, but is there enough? I mean, will it just be running around the kids area all day, or would we be able to do some other things? What are the age requirements for the slides and things? What are others experiences with young kids at the water parks.
Thanks.
not really worth it to us
In Oct 2005 our family had 7 kids at Typhoon Lagoon. Ages from 5 months up to 7. Our conclusion: the 7 yr old had a great time, and the 6 yr old a good time, with plenty of slides, etc. to do for 3 to 4 hrs. (Note: they were very good swimmers.) The 5 yr old had an ok time (good swimmer, but intimidated by some slides, and only tall enought to do a few.) For everyone younger: totally not worth it. Sure they had some fun, but only in the kid's areas. They played in the sand, and did a little of the small slides and spout areas. Mostly they just sit in the water and splash. As parents, we had to constantly split up due to the kids different abilities and interest (or lack thereof). The under 5 kids had just as much fun swimming at the hotel pool (WL), playing on the WL "beach", and in some of the interactive fountains at MK. So we thought it wasn't worth the money, effort, and time for those under 5. Hope this helps. Have a great trip, whatever you decide.
