Birthday Plans

posted 13th Feb
It's that time of year again, I have the LO's 1st birthday taken care of (March 31st) so now I have to start thinking about DS#1's 3rd birthday party (I can't believe my first born in almost 3)!!! *tear*

I was thinking about going to Lake Winnie (an amusement park here close to home that has a 5 acre water park) since his birthday is on July 4th and they do a huge firework display.

If you do "destination" birthdays, do you pay everyone's way or is it a "pay if you wanna ride" type thing.

I've always paid everyone's way.

We did a destination birthday party for Charlie, and we paid everybody's way. With the twins, we also had a destination birthday party, but we paid part of everybody's way in, since it was pretty expensive, and there were whole families coming.

I can't see us ever doing a destination birthday party again, though....If we give one child a large birthday party, then the rest want one too, and that just gets complicated.

One thing you can consider is having his party earlier that day and then heading to Lake Winnie. It would probably save you tons of money lol

They have little discounts you can do. Like since his birthday is on a Thursday you can bring a Sunbeam (bread) wrapper and get $5 off your Unlimited Rides pass (so it takes the total down to $21 instead of $26 a person) and then there is a 10% discount for military families, as well as a discount for groups over 25 people...so far we have 28. I'm not sure if I can combine the discounts or not, so I will be emailing the staff and asking about that.


Jillian, when y'all went it was $26 total right? Rico doesn't want to do a party and then go to Lake Winnie, I asked -_-

Quoting iMakenads:" It's been so long ago I'm not sure lol but there were these little yellow papers from mcdonalds that got 5 dollars off per person"

I called and asked the man that answered, he said because the new water park will be open then, the group rate of 25 people or more will be $26. Then I asked him if you can combine discounts and he said he isn't sure so he transferred me to the birthday people. I left a message and I'm waiting on a reply now.

If I can't get it at a good price I may go ahead and do like a trip to FL or something for his birthday. It'll cost just as much and there is a place that gives REALLY good prices for people with Military family.

Not really. It states it's for military AND family.

I'm still trying to figure out how you seem to find my every post, do you gave me PT'd?

Yes really! And family is usually the family with dependent ids not just any family they choose to bring along. And I said usually! I was linked to this post.

No
You need a military ID for each person wanting a military discount.
Otherwise they'd just give everyone 10% off
