Go to Water Parks Early on Hot Days

“The water parks usually close around 5 pm and can fill to capacity quickly on hot days, so go early!”

There can be some real scorchingly hot days in Florida, especially in the summer. The kinds of days where you think it might be perfect to just go to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach to cool down after spending the morning at the parks. Well, more likely than not most people are having the same thought as you and the water parks DO fill to capacity on hot days and can shut their gates to newcomers as early as noon! Especially on the weekends when the locals also take their kids for a refreshing dip in a wave pool–you’re not just competing with other vacationers! So if you know it’s going to be a really hot day, head to the water parks right away. Usually we actually plan to spend a whole day at Typhoon Lagoon–we go there in the morning then stay until we’ve had enough sun and water fun, then head off to wherever we feel like for the rest of the day. That way we’re sure to get in before it gets super crowded and we’re leaving as people are trying to get in in the late afternoon.
