Last weekend after the Blue and Gold Ceremony, we surprised Jeremy with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge. It is a fun place to be for sure, a little bit crowded, but worth it. Here's a couple tips if you go.
1) Don't eat there. $20.00/person for pizza and mac and cheese? Seriously? And it wasn't even good mac and cheese. My advice - find a local restaurant, there's a book in your room with a bunch of them. Pick one and I guarantee it will have better food than the Wolf.
2) Take your own stacks and drinks, they don't care. And here's something I know for a fact. It takes WAY less time to run back to your room to refill your keg cup of beer than it does for them to find someone over 21 to pour you a beer. Seriously.
3) Go first thing in the morning and stake out a table at the waterpark and put your stuff all over it. Grab a few extra chairs even. Then ditch the kids, and go have coffee, a shower, a nap... whatever you like. You can come and go throughout the day and you will always have your prime spot. When you get sick of the waterpark, sell your table to some jealous soul. (I kid)
4) Make sure you take some adult friends - we went with my Brother and Sister in Law and their kids. They're pretty fabulous, so I'm keeping them. You'll have to find your own family/friends.
