Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not an outdoorsy girly. I love being outdoors at a theme park. I love being outdoors um at one of the Disney island destinations.

Overall I am enjoying myself more than I thought that I would be.

I'm going to be honest, I did not have high hopes for it. I am very much a theme park cru cruise Bahamas beach girl, but I did have a fun day.

I actually enjoyed this side quest. It ended up being a fantastic day.

βœ“Bring sunscreen and reapply regularly.
βœ“Bring an ice chest with plenty of liquids, water, and Gatorade.
βœ“Bring water shoes or Crocs for traction on slippery stairs.
βœ“Make a reservation in advance to secure entry.
