Rope Drop
Arrive at Opening
Get there right at opening to claim chairs and hit popular slides before lines build. The park gets very crowded by midday, especially in summer.

Lounge chairs fill up fast. Arrive early and claim your spot, then hit the slides. Shaded areas go first. Consider renting a cabana for guaranteed seating.
Touring
Rent a Locker
Lockers are essential for phones, wallets, and valuables. Rent one near your chairs. Small and large sizes are available; prices vary.
Touring

Florida sun is intense. Apply waterproof sunscreen frequently. Bring your own to save money. Reapply every 2 hours.
