You are now ready for the beach! You can buy all these things at the beach, but why not save a few bucks for you next trip!
A beach in the middle of the dessert. Keep in mind that this was MDW and the place was live!
Get there early before 11AM or after 4PM. We slept in all four days so by the time we got to the beach it was busy. The scent of Suntan lotion and desert filled the air. We lucked out and found seats next to each other all 4 days. We spent more time at the Beach then anywhere else!
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the Wave and the Lazy River was moderately busy, but by Saturday there was more younger people (kids) then adults in the wave pool and lazy river. I recommend the Lagoon or Daylight Beach Club for the weekends. However slim pickings at the Lagoon for lounge chairs there too. Never made it to Moorea or Daylight Club.
For the lazy river, bring your own tube. They do not rent tubes, you will need to purchase one. $20 for kids and $25 for adults. I did however see adults going down the river in the smaller tubes and just walking through the river, but watch out for crazy kids having fun ( you might just get kicked in the head) Try to buy a tube from someone who is leaving the resort. Some guy bought 4 for $40. (down with the system!) When you get to the water falls, just stand there for about 10 seconds. The pressure from the falls feels like a massage. The teen-age life guards didn't seem to care much.
My first time in a wave pool. But have seen plenty of real waves in Hawaii and Cali. This wave pool was amazing. You couldn't actually surf the waves, but people were body boarding. It was great way to cool down and enjoy the ride.
I loved everything about The Beach, in The Hotel Mandalay Bay in the middle of the desert! It was totally boss!
The only thing I didn't like was the smokers.
Keep alert for Stars walking around disguised as normal people! Ran into Kevin Hart and Bell (not Biv) and Devoe.
Last tip I promise: Check the Beach Venue before you book your vacation, you just never know who might be playing during you stay. Snoop Dogg, Skrillex, Bauuer, Alvin Risk and J Cole played MDW.
