The food at breakfast was terrible! The cost was $10.99+tax for a child and $20.99+tax for an adult . . . and it was really bad!

The characters were fun and interacted with the kids. The dining room was small so they could make a few rounds too!

Re: Mickeysgirlz "The Nick Hotel with a Sprinkle of Disney" TR

I'll just be honest and say that the Nick Hotel looks like a nightmare to me. I'll stay at Pop in Disney and All-Star Movies or Music but that Nick Hotel just looks like a loud, garish, scary, obnoxious mess. I am sure kids love it & all but if I am standing in a large concrete enclosure waiting for someone to shoot me with green spray, and 100's of other smelly people standing too close to me, then I KNOW I've lost my mind.

HEAR ME NOW... if I ever have a child, they are NOT going to the Nick Hotel. (unless their Father takes them). haha. Isn't really expensive too?

Next up was Spongbob's Beach Party Bash!

This was a paid event! $25/child it included a snack, tattoos, a make your own autograph book, crabby patty toss (you won a 100pt GC for the arcade) and a meet and greet dance party with Spongebob and Patrick!

It was CUTE, not organized really well . . . but the kids had fun!! At the end you were given a sling backpack and beach ball!

I'm with you on that one! My friend (the other troop leader) "took one for the team!" when she stood there to be SLIMED!

It is expensive-normal rates are around $250/night . . . we paid half that since it was Girl Scout "Thanks a lot" month!

I can say "Been there, Done that . . . NEVER going back!"

(read my review) I think a Disney suite, with the dining plan and a trip to one of the water parks would be LESS and much, much better!

Besides . . . NICK characters are just weird looking!

I like Spongebob . . . but a big version of him was just plain weird!

Watch out Wishy, usually that which we say we will never do with OUR children...tends to make us eat hat! Like my sister saying she would never discuss diapers...yeah, right.

but I agree, that slime pool looks horrifyingly crowded!

Re: Mickeysgirlz "The Nick Hotel with a Sprinkle of Disney" TR

Sooooooo, that was our fun filled 3 days at Disney and the Nick Hotel!

The girls worked VERY HARD to sell lots of cookies so we could have all this fun! Each event we did was additional $$!

Like I said in a previous post it was expensive and since it was SOLD OUT it was packed! I never in my life saw so many bodies packed into one pool!

The kids of course had a BLAST, it was VERY, VERY kid friendly.

REMEMBER at the beginning of my TR when I mentioned FLAT? Well, on the way home, that is exactly what we got! A flat . . . so a normally 2.5 hour trip took us 5 . . . we could go only 50 mph on the spare!

FLAT TIRE - BOOOoooOOO!

It was sooooooooo crowded! That is because you can only get slimed 2x a day! Once at 10:45am and again at 4:45pm . . . of course you can PAY for a private sliming, but it will cost you $25!

Thanks for sharing. I never plan to go to Nick Hotel so it is good to read others views on it.
