ALso, Id like to ask whether or not the Hoop De Doo Musical revue is worth the money? Is it, or not? I know the syntax and diction in all this are rather messy, but Im trying to do math homework at the same time as typing and its not really working. Thanks in advance!

There are a couple minigolf courses too (WinterSummerland which actually has 2 courses, and Fansasia Mini Golf) which are themed to the max. If you haven't been to the waterparks yet (Typhoon Lagoon and Bilzzard Beach), I would say they are both worth checking out, but you may only want to schedule one per visit, depending on how into waterparks your family is. There are also several world-class golf courses on property if you're looking for something a litle more laid back.
