Sounds like fun! (but that wand thing ticks me off… the lodge’s part, not your part, sorry
)

We have one of those here now. We saw it being built and could not figure out what it was for the longest time!
Sounds like it will be fun for us in a couple more years, but I agree, lame on the wand thing! It just creates inequalities amongst the kids. If you’re shelling out that much (and I know how much!) for the water part it should be included.

there is nothing sweeter in the world than the look on my niece’s face when she sees me (we live about 2 hours away, she’s turning 5 in May) and comes running to me.

Don’t sell the wife out…she had to work as well. I had a great time and am so glad I made the trek across the lake.

What a fun trip! My cousin and her husband’s family take all their kids their once a year – and once my daughter’s old enough to enjoy it, I definitely want to start the tradition myself!

Sounds like a great trip!
Good for you, for staying strong! I know how hard it is to say ‘No’ to the kiddos….but they will definitely be all the better for it!

What a gimmick. I wouldn’t have bought it either.
My son never forgets about those kinds of things though. It’s been 2 years since I refused to buy him a stuffed dino at a museum and he still brings it up.
“Remember that time I wanted that dino really bad and you didn’t buy it for me? It was my favorite dino.” (Sad Face)
Ugh. Good job on staying strong.

Congratulations for staying strong and being the responsible parent. I went to a Bob the Builder stage show recently, and they were selling plastic construction hats for TWENTY DOLLARS EACH!! I almost fainted! I was almost more stunned at the number of kids who were wearing them, along with six or seven other things from the merchandise table. Absolutely ridiculous. I was so very thankful that we were attending the preformance with a friend and her son who felt the same way I did. Needless to say, the boys didn’t get anything from that table!!!

Lol the last two sentences made me laugh out loud. I used to bypass my parents whenever I could as a kid. It’s nice to see that the tradition is alive and well – when the opportunity presents itself.
I’ve never heard of that wand thing, but it sounds like crack for kids. I’m sure Lily had a lovely vacation without it =)

We have a Great Wolf Lodge near us, but have never been. $27 for a wand??? Are you kidding me?? My kids would have been the ones whining along with yours.

I’ve always wondered about those lodges. they look so fun, but I was worried it was a little overrated. Glad you had fun.
How old should a kid be before taking him there? Would a 2-year old get the full enjoyment?

so glad that yall went and had fun! but oh my…that is a really expensive wand! good for you for being strong.
we were in the store the other day and my 5 year old daughter asked for something and i explained that it wasn’t in our shopping budget and she very kindly patted me on the arm and said, “it’s okay mommy, my MiMi has the money to get it for me.” ugh. not really what i was going for!

I can’t wait until all our kids are old enough to go there! We’ve been waiting and waiting….
In our house, our kids truly believe that mommy and daddy are poor and all their grandparents have endless amounts of money. We’re not actually poor, but it’s just crazy how materialistic our culture is. We say no a lot! (and we’re trying to teach the grandparents to say it a little more often)

I hear you about saying no. It is so hard sometimes! My kids think we can just go out to eat whenever they want and we really don’t go out that much. It drives me nuts! Good for you for staying strong!
[Reply]
$27!!!!! Good grief! That’s good that you stuck to your guns. It’s so hard for me to do that when we’re on vacation- I can justify buying anything when we’re on vacation.

Very cool! Except the wand. That should completely come with the room but I guess they have to ‘getcha’ every way they can. Think of it is a training course for Disney someday, except that would be a really hard secret to keep.

The wand does sound neat! It’s awesome that you have trained your child not to beg for something like that.
They just opened one of those lodges near us and I was wondering if it was worth it. Glad you guys had fun!

Thank you for the review. My boyfriend’s planning on taking his niece and nephew there this year, so it’s good to know what temptations will be there!
