Hi there! I created this channel to help parents and grandparents navigate traveling with toddler/children. I am a grandma of three rambunctious toddlers ages one to three and I love taking them to new and exciting places. Nothing rarely goes according to plan but through the tears and tantrums we still manage to get in, get ours and get out. So grab your bug out bag and let’s go people!
Soaky is so much fun for the little kids. Me and my family got every weekend and last week we were first in line and got to play and ice game where whoever made it closest to the line won and got to come in early
Im a lifeguard there. Pineapple Pipeline is not closed because of staffing issues. It was closed because of plumbing issues. Please get your facts straight before you start ranting.
How old is your son? My son is two he be three next year when i take him. What are future references i need to be prepare for bringing a toddler? Great video by the way ❤
@collegegirlB0307 Hi! Our grandson was a month shy of his 4th birthday in this vid. Some tips for bringing your son is too make sure they are well rested before your theme park day. Bring lots of bottles of water and snacks, (you can't bring too much water, trust me)! Before you go, go over the ride height requirements on Disney's website so you'll know exactly what your son can ride when you get there. Here is the link disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/parks/height-requirements/. Finally, try to learn the layout of the park you're visiting. You want to have a general idea of where the rides are located as you don't want to waste time trying to find them like I did. Get a park map as soon as you arrive and familiarize yourself with the layout as best you can. I hope your enjoy your future trip and thanks so much for watching!
Bummed to hear about the hot tub change. We're from Mason, OH so GW is our place to go. But vacation in Sevierville with everything to do in Pigeon Forge makes this a go to place as well. We're going this August. If you had to choose just based on the water park which would you choose between the two?
Hi, @jcpack187. That is a great question! There are several different factors to consider in choosing the best waterpark as both have so much to offer. If I had to choose based on our circumstances currently, (traveling with a toddler), I'd pick Great Wolf Lodge. There are more slides/activities based on the age/height he is right now, versus Wilderness, which in my opinion, is geared more towards ages 5 and up. It also depends on what your style is regards to thrill vs. chill. Do you prefer to do the more thrilling attractions or is your preference more of a laid back, wave pool/lazy river experience? Wilderness offers more thrilling slides for kids and adults and Great Wolf offers more toddler activities. I will say Great Wolf has the best hot tub for children and adults, hands down. Depending on your dates in August, you may get to take advantage of Wilderness's promotion where you will receive FREE admission to Soaky Mountain Waterpark, for every guest included in your reservation! In my opinion, that would make a stay at Wilderness very advantageous as you will essentially get 3 water parks for the price of one, plus a resort stay! We hope you have a great trip in August and thanks so much for watching!
We have a trip planned in October. We have a 7 and 3 year old. Do you think the 3 year old will be able to do any of the water slides? He will be 4 when we go
It depends on the 4 year olds height. If they are below 42 inches there won’t be much they can do. Just the kaleidoscope cavern, the 2 story interactive playground with one slide, a toddler area and the wave pool. By October the outdoor attractions will be closed. Honestly the majority of the slides designated for toddlers are in the outdoor water park unfortunately. That’s not to say they won’t have fun our grandson wasn’t able to ride much but he really enjoyed the wave pool and the new lazy river. Hope you enjoy your trip!
@@TajaiDenae You can find the hours for all of the water parks at Wilderness at the Smokies on their website. I just checked online and they have not posted the hours yet for August and September for the outdoor waterpark. However, in years past Labor Day weekend was the last weekend the outdoor waterpark was operational. The outdoor waterpark is typically only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but I’m not sure yet if that will be the same this year as they have not posted August and September’s hours yet. 😎
@@FewGoodTravelers thank you i did check on their website as well and saw they dont have it posted yet. Im hoping it will be open because i found great rates for that month 🤞🏾 thank you again!
