Orlando's Best Water Parks 2024

[@MrJersey84]

Volcano Bay is still the best. Another universal success.

[@skh1964]

Volcano Bay is definitely my favorite, I always have a great time there.

[@miranimal]

80 days until my vacation, woo! I am SO excited for Volcano Bay!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hope you have the best trip!

[@eamonshields2754]

Your going to have a BLAST 🌴

[@Troopertroll]

One thing that's important to note for Volcano Bay is just how warm the water is. The park has heated water so it will never be icy cold like many other water parks. If you're worried about transportation there, that's where I would recommend the Aventura or Endless Summer, which essentially have their own access straight into the park. Went with my friends shortly after Volcano Bay opened and got a volcano view room, super cool at night.

[@bradleydavisson]

it's a bit random, but the last couple times I stayed at cabana bay, they left the "private" gate open and never checked for proof of stay. Worth looking at if you are set on the walk in entrance method.

[@CoffeePlantsRepeat]

Thank you! Heated pool is important to me.

[@andrewparker1097]

Discovery Cove is our favourite for a relaxing day. Volcano Bay for fun in the sun!

[@eamonshields2754]

Some of my fondest childhood memories are at Typhoon Lagoon. Pure Blessed Florida Memories 🌴🌅🌊

[@eamonshields2754]

The addition of nighttime hours in these parks is SO COOL. Love It. It brings a whole new element and vibe to your vacation. Endless happy memories and exciting times await 🌴🌋🌊

[@animationdude5]

Volcano Bay by a mile. Best ride/slide lineup. Great food options. Pro tip: For busy times of year, pre-purchase premium seating. It's much cheaper than the private cabana option and it comes with a private locker and waiter service.

[@thomashoang6789]

We just got back from Volcano Bay! Really felt like a tropical paradise in the Pacific.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thanks for sharing!

[@wrc5557]

I love Discovery Cover just for the contrast it provides - it always feels like a proper escape from the madness of the theme parks. On paper it looks like there isn't much to do, but on every occasion I've been I've found myself wishing it was open for longer before I had to leave!

[@wrc5557]

p.s. great job as always on the excellent content.....Just when I think I've learned about all Orlando has to offer you tell me something new! it should be illegal for a channel of this quality not to have more subscribers, but for those of us luck enough to have found it, please keep up the great work!

[@thegreatother25]

Just booked for September for our honeymoon, we will have an even better time thanks to your tips! I have not been to Orlando since 2018 and much has changed since then, thank you for all your content!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hope you have the best time!😁

[@astromanicdave]

Been in Orlando for a week. Just finished with Disney and moving to the other parks. The cost of everything has doubled since our last trip here before the pandemic. And the magic is really gone from Disney. It’s all about how much more they can extract from you. Really Disney has one maybe 2 rides of note in each park. And if you want to ride them, get your wallet out.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah the lightning lane stuff defiantely spoils the magic 😢

[@astromanicdave]

@@TheFrugalBrit made me sick to have to fork out for so many rides. With 2 weeks in Orlando. You don’t have the time to spend 2/3 days waiting on lines for one park. We are going to miss out on Animal kingdom. Simply because I am not paying again for lightning lanes. The old fast pass was a great system. It’s pure greed.

[@johnappleseed9546]

Universal for the win brother, disney are vultures these days

[@alster06]

The problem is people don't vote with their wallets they'll just pay for them. People should collectively stick together and not buy the lightning lanes and practices made to fleece you like $5 for a bottle of Water. Fast Pass system was perfect

[@jedstuhr]

Oh.... when the Mouse wants his money.... yea... Disney is def the worst choice of parks compared to Universal or SeaWorld.... Disney doesn't care that you've never been before... if you're not willing to fork up the cash, they unapologetically say "sorry"

[@jamesbloy2881]

My wife and I just got back from Orlando. We did volcano bay and it was fantastic, we stayed at cabana bay hotel so we just walked to volcano bay. Must of done the lazy rivers 20 times lol

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I can’t wait to head back in August 😁😁

Volcano bay has been my favorite park for years. It’s incredible

[@edvaira6891]

Very nice compilation of all five of these parks!

[@michaelonskis]

10 weeks until my honeymoon which begins at Universal FL! I’ve never been to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, or Volcano Bay. So excited!!!

[@skycreeper0173]

That was super fun to watch! I really enjoyed seeing what each water park has to offer and which one you think is better.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Glad you enjoyed! 😁

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I loved it 😊

[@Cuchman72]

Excellent detail and information. Now I want to try/retry them all

[@jeffrey8859]

By far the best water park in Orlando, Volcano Bay 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jeninaslicer352]

My Sunday favorite; The Frugal Brit! I hope all is well with you and your family. I’ll definitely pass this on to my hubby and kids. I can’t swim and they’ll enjoy swimming with the dolphins. I’m normally waist deep with a life jacket on!😂 They love Volcano Bay and they’ve been there plenty of times. I enjoy alone time in the parks whilst they’re swimming. Wanna know a secret that’ll make you cringe? I served 14 years in the US Navy. Not required to swim; just float and tread water.

[@lindseysharon259]

My grandpa was in the navy during the Second World War. We didn’t learn until he was in his 80s that he couldn’t swim! He assumed they would teach him when he joined but nope! Thankfully, while the ships he was on did take heavy damage, none actually sunk.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

That's hilarious! Thank you Jenna, yeah family doing well thanks. Gonna surprise the kids to a 2 week trip in August the day before.

[@jeninaslicer352]

Thanks Danny! 😁

[@Afineaddition]

Volcano Bay is just the best!

[@edvaira6891]

Haven’t been able to go to one of these since the late 1990’s (my wife’s progressive disability has made visiting water parks pretty much not an option since our last visit to Blizzard Beach in the late 1990’s)… we preferred Blizzard Beach to Typhoon Lagoon back then because, well, we grew up in the Northeast so we really Liked the theming

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Really hoping they go back to opening both at the same time, not holding my breath though.

[@lazarosanpedro4873]

Volcano is simply the best in the world

Glad you like them! 😁

Island H20 deserves to be up there

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah it probably does but I didn't want it to go past 20 mins really.

[@ArianaWoods112]

Why did you have to bring up wet and wild 😭😭😭 too soon too soon. But, Aquatica is my favorite on the list. Maybe it is because it reminds me of wet n wild 🤔🤣

[@ArianaWoods112]

Also, one thing I don’t like about volcano Bay is that you can’t get an annual pass for them alone

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah Aquatica has sort of become the spiritual successor. Wet n wild will always be my favourite though.

[@letsroamaround2189]

Going to volcano bay, one of the disney ones and discovery cove!

[@stanleyhipkiss4690]

I dont even know if its there anymore but Wet and Wild was just fantastic and not even a big disney style waterpark

[@SuperToby3]

I moved to california.. I miss Florida

[@rachelgoodwin5200]

What about Island H20???😢

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I didn't want the video to be much over 20 minutes so had to sacrifice island h2o 😢

[@singbike5832]

I wasn't blown away by Discovery Cove. It was OK (although lunch bordered on terrible), and definitely not a bad deal at all when I did the multi-park bundle. It just wasn't as much of a "wow" experience as I though it would be. Aquatica was a complete disappointment and a rip off - I've never seen standard lockers that expensive. Too crowded, understaffed, and inefficient. I rode maybe 3 slides and left. It probably would have been better if I had gone during a weekday, as it wouldn't have been as crowded, but I did not have a good experience. I haven't tried Volcano Bay, but I've heard a lot of stories about how bad the TapuTapu system is and how hard it is to ride anything.

[@antoine_073]

Did the dolphin swim a couple of times. But after the pandemic the interaction with the dolphin is barely 2 minutes. A 30 seconds "swim" and A minute and a half for posing for pictures. Those pictures are extremely expensive and in my opinion a rip off for families for whom this is a once in a lifetime trip. The environment is very nice but and we had a great time, but I will skip the dolphin-swim add-on next time.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah my trip in August with the family is costing me a fortune 🙈

[@antoine_073]

@@TheFrugalBrit I rather go in May, before the school holidays and after springbreak and easter. Do you know when it is quit in the (theme)parks but the weather is still good enough to visit the waterparks?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

@antoine_073 kind of depends on what you consider good weather. End of Jan is great for low crowds and comfortable weather. But if you like it hotter for the water parks, then last week of April is decent for crowds.
