A: Volcano Bay: Most innovative, best slides, TapuTapu system. Typhoon Lagoon: Best wave pool, classic Disney. Discovery Cove: Swim with dolphins, all-inclusive luxury. Aquatica: Good balance of slides and relaxation. All excellent - choose by priorities!
A: Volcano Bay: $80-90. Typhoon Lagoon/Blizzard Beach: $69-79. Aquatica: $65-75. Discovery Cove: $200-400 (all-inclusive). Add water park to Disney/Universal tickets: Cheaper combo option. Cabanas: $150-400 extra.
A: Technically yes but exhausting! Water parks need full day (10 AM-5 PM). Could do theme park evening after but tiring. Better: Dedicate full day to water park. Some tickets allow "hop" option but not recommended - enjoy each fully!
A: Discovery Cove is all-inclusive luxury water park - swim with dolphins, snorkel coral reef, tropical birds, all meals/drinks included! Limited attendance (never crowded). $200-400/person. It's full-day resort-like experience. Special occasion or bucket list - worth splurge!
A: Not required but nice! Cabanas provide shade (Florida sun brutal!), loungers, storage, sometimes food service. $150-400/day. Worth it for families with young kids or full-day visits. Budget: Bring towels, find shade under palm trees. Works either way!
A: Summer (March-October): All parks open. Winter: Volcano Bay year-round, Disney parks close Nov-Feb for refurbishment (alternating). Check schedules! Water parks most fun when hot - summer ideal. Spring break and summer peak season.
A: YES, especially summer! Beat Florida heat, less expensive than theme parks, more relaxing. Great variety from Disney/Universal. Families love water parks. 1-2 water park days in week-long trip perfect balance. Refreshing and fun!
A: Waterproof sunscreen (reapply!), towels, water shoes (pavement hot!), change of clothes, waterproof phone case. Rent lockers for valuables ($10-15). Most parks allow small coolers. Cabanas provide towels. Cash for lockers/food. Come prepared!
