Disney waterpark changing rooms ?

[minnie moomoo]

I am sorting my plan and have a few question.

Could anyone advise what facility's the changing areas have.
Is it possible to go direct from Blizzards beach to Animal kingdom ?

We are using disney transport so no car boot. Do waterparks provide towels ? Do they have costume drying machines ?

Does animal kingdom have lockers for a bag full of slightly soggy swimwear ?

Thanks.

You can rent towels at the waterpark or if staying onsite you can take towels from the hotel pool. All the parks have lockers but I've never used them so I don't know how much they are.

Changing rooms are individual curtained rooms like a changing room in a shop.

No there is no direct bus to the water parks, BB is via Animal Kingdom and TL is via Disney Springs. But you can always order an uber.

We go wearing our swim wear (we all wear rash vest and shorts, even me and I'm female) with Hot Tuna swim shoes on (available at SportsDirect) we bin these out at the end of the holiday in FLorida.

You can get in the water faster if you don't have to change first. We rent a locker and shove everything in there. I believe we used magic bands to pay for it so it went onto our hotel room bill.

If you are staying onsite, you can hire a towel for free with your magic band to prove you are onsite. Or bring pool towels from your hotel with you to save queuing and drop them in the towel bins at the water park.

Drying clothes wise if you walk around for a bit after getting out of the water that will help to dry them. We just use carrier bags brought from home or ziplock bags and pop them into a rucksack that doubles as our hand luggage. It shouldn't weigh too much.

And yes there are lockers to rent at animal kingdom. I think they are about $7 for small, $10 for medium and $15 for large.

im pretty sure if you have paid for a locker at the waterpark you can use the receipt for a locker at the park.

Thankyou. Ziplock bags for our swimwear is a brilliant idea.

I was wondering about the towel hire price so knowing they are free for onsite guests is fab

We buy hot tuna water shoes every year, perfect for the kids in lakes and even the beach.

Im just wondering if Id feel a bit self conscious going direct to Animal kingdom. Damp hair, no makeup etc. I suppose Ill want my hair up anyway.

When we went there were plenty of changing rooms free, but the queue for the showers at closing time was about half an hour, I think there were only about 5 showers.
We didn’t see any costume drying machines.

Don't worry - everyone will be too busy concentrating on themselves to look at a total stranger I hate wearing make up, never wear it at home let alone on holiday.

Hi. Towel hire at the water parks isn’t free to hotel guests. It is free at your hotel. You could take some hotel swimming towels to the water park and leave them there. You can hire a locker at both water and theme park if needed. The showers get increasingly nasty as the day progresses and busy in the final hour but are adequate. The options fo hairdrying exist but are rubbish. Take a cap! Make up. Take your moisturiser or your skin will punish you. Then the mirrors are adequate for however much more makeup you want to use. Don’t use the buses to Disney water parks it’s bad mood inducing. Use Uber. I’ve done what you’re considering a number of times and always hit the changing rooms an hour before the rest of my family so I can do what I need to do without feeling under stress. I personally don’t care if no one else is looking at me. I’m putting some make up on anyway 🙃 Oh. Take an extra pool towel to stand on while you get changed. I promise you will thank me x

Towels at the water parks are free to on-site hotel guests. We got them for free last year's, and the Disney Mom's Panel so say it:

We do take some from the resort too, but it means we don't have to take as many
