Water park days

[Guest]

Is it right that we should avoid water parks on weekends, for whatever reason?
Also was thinking of a chilled resort breakfast before heading there but do we need to head off earlier for the best chance of getting decent seating spots? I can't envisage how busy they'll be compared to parks!

Yes would probably avoid at weekends if possible- midweek always seems to come up as most recommended time. If not, make sure you get there for opening, but in my experience there are plenty of us beds available, it just depends if there's a specific spot you wanted to be in. Our kids are all too young for us to stay in one spot for lond so the sun bed thing didn't really matter to us!

We avoid them at the weekend and arrive early as OH is a sun worshipper (he's quiet happy to cook at gas mark 9) and I need shade

I follow the busy day guide and get there for opening.

Can be very, very busy. We went to Aquatica on Saturday 6 August last year for opening. When we left at 1pm there were signs up at the entrance saying entry was closed until 4pm.

We have done Blizzard Beach on a weekend the last two trips and it was reasonably quiet. I think most hit the main parks if they have gone for the weekend.

Ahh ok, useful thankyou. I'm guessing this is the same for both TL and BB? Is one generally preferred by most over the other?

[yorkshire clan]

No they are both about the same, just a personal preference we like BB better.
