Bring your own beach towels, which are likely bigger and more comfy than the ones they provide. Have one member of your party go in with the group when the waterpark doors open. Use the beach towels to stake out a table. Go have breakfast and then come back to your table.

They will perform a bedbug inspection in front of you if you wish at check-in time. We did that the first year; didn't bother the second year.

Bring a bathrobe for each person to wear back to the room so you don't have to change there. Flip flops!!!

No need for a cabana. Wash hands frequently. Bath the kids at night. Magicquest is great and so is the water park. We cooked in the room - microwave meals and I brought our plug in griddle.

If you have an only child, bring her/his best friend so you don't have to get in the water. Drink drink and more drinking. Plan on seeing lots of interesting people. That said, the kids love it. Take my DC regularly, with a best friend.

Stay there only one night.

Bedbug spray.

There is a nearby Walmart and pizza restaurant, if you want to avoid overpriced food/snacks/last-minute forgotten things from GWL.

Let your kids try MagiQuest. My boys 9 and 11 adore it. They will play for hours.

Why do you need a cabana?

Buy one beer in the water park. The. Use the cup they give you to refill your own, cheaper beer, from a cooler in your room. Wear your suit under clothes/cover up to the hotel. Changing rooms are tiny and can get crowded.

One adult per child.

Agree with the above unless you want to stake out a table all day. Try to make it to Colonial Williamsburg at least once and maybe Busch Gardens. The water park gets boring after a full day there, IMO unless you have small kids.

A friend just went and. she said to rent a cabana so that you don't have to fight for a cabana with all the other people.

Any tips for a trip to great wolf lodge?
