As the time for our trip approaches, I suddenly find that I have all these questions that I never knew I had........!
A BLIZZARD BEACH QUESTION (or 2):
1. Ski Patrol -- says it's for "pre-teens," so what age/maturity level are we talking about (I assume, any kids too old for Tikes Peak?)? Would a 7 y/o be run-over by older kids?
2. Many of the "ride restrictions" say that you should be a strong swimmer. How strong of a swimmer? Are kids allowed to wear "life vests" on any of these?
I ask because our DS is 7 and can swim fairly well, but I don't think he'd qualify as a "strong swimmer." I personally would not feel comfortable with him "splooshing" down a slide and into deep water, but at the same time, I know he'd have a blast and will want to "ride" the same slides DH & I will do. Last time we visited BB, DS was too young, and DH & I took turns on the slides.
