![]() I had told them to get the receipt every time they used their wristbands to charge to room, and to total the ticket. they brought me an air mattress, and it was free, and nice,(much cooler when you're not sharing a double bed with someone) our air conditioner did not work properly, and they were full so could not move us. ![]() If you want a coffeemaker in the room you have to ask, but its free. my kids were not interested in it, but it looked fun, ($30). If you have a room near the elevators/stairwell you might need them, the little kids who are up early run up and down the halls playing this Magi quest game very early in the morning, and most of the things they have to find are concentrated in these areas, we were about 6 rooms away, and they woke me up about 6:30, and the older kids that did it were up very late doing it. ![]() the restaurant on the 4th floor, was very good, and we ate all our meals there, I would compare it to the "Chilis" chain restaurants in price, and menu, we really enjoyed it.īring earplugs. the walk up snack windows on the park level, were terrible, the kids said it tasted like school food. we were told it was $20 and was about like A Golden Corrall, so we did not bother. it was full, when we were there, but did not seem so.įOOD- we did not eat in the buffet restaurant. they are still doing a lot of construction, and when the new wing is finished, I can imagine it will seem very crowded. It was nice, to let the kids play downstairs in the water park and not have to worrry about them.ĭo not plan on getting the room you request, and don't pay extra for a balcony or patio, it is literally a few square feet surrounded by dirt. I agree with most of what the previous poster said. It's not a place for a week vacation, but for a weekend (or 2 nights) it was great! There was a teen "club" that she wasn't interested in checking out, but it looked interesting too. To answer your original question - my 13 yo daughter also loved it. The resort is really nice - I expected it to be pretty "tacky" but it was very nice. The other thing we did was let them all get tatoos - they thought that was so cool and it was pretty reasonable - and they lasted a long time - even after a few more hours in the waterpark. I was a little nervous, but it felt really safe - they each had a partner they had to stay with if the group split up and it worked out well. Talk about unbelievable excercise.īetween the waterpark and the Magiquest - they boys pretty much had the run of the hotel. I thought it sounded pretty lame - these are not boys that are really into video games or fantasy stuff, they are all "jocks" so I didn't think they'd like it but they DID - they LOVED it and it was worth it (although it's crazy expensive when you have to buy them all wands too). Everybody loved it - well worth the cost - I think it was $14 for adults and $9 for all the boys.Īnother thing we splurged on was letting all the boys play MagiQuest. I am not a big buffet person usually but this was great - I would go back just to eat the breakfast buffet. The buffet was AWESOME - so worth the money. We had snacks when they woke up and then hit the buffet about 10:45 so it worked for their breakfast and dinner combined. The next day we took all the kids to the all you can eat buffet for a very late breakfast. We got takeout pizza from a Little Ceasers near by - great way to feed all the kids for a decent price. The lines aren't too bad and in the late evening and early morning it's the least crowded. But the kids didn't seem to care, they absolutely loved it. The outside part was great - felt good out there. We loved it but I won't go back until Fall/Winter - it was really HOT inside (we were there on 2 hot days in early June) - REALLY steamy and humid and the water was warm so didn't offer much relief. So I guess to take advantage of early access you have to get there REALLY early and wait. It is a ZOO between 1 and 3 - so our friends basically stood in line the whole time anyway and only got in a few minutes before us. We went in 2 groups - the first arrived about 1:30 to take advantage or early check-in and my group didn't arrive until about 3:30. You aren't guaranteed your room until about 4 or 5 the day of check-in but you can get into the waterpark starting at 1. ![]() We got a KILLER deal that is gone now - pd $99 for a family suite including 4 waterpark passes! We had 6 in the room (me and 5 10 yo boys.!) so had to pay an additional $60 for waterpark passes - still a steal. We had 2 13 yr olds with us and they seemed to really enjoy it. We just spent 2 days/1 night at the GWL in Grapevine for my 10 yr olds birthday.
