ADVENTURE TOURING
PLAN
WE PRESENT ONE ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE TOURING PLAN
geared toward the whole
family.Becausetherearesomanyattractionswiththepotentialtofrightenyoungchil-
dren, be prepared to skip a few things and to practice switching off (works generally
the same way as at
Walt Disney World
;
). For the most part, attractions designed espe-
cially for young children, such as playgrounds, can be enjoyed anytime. Work them
into the plan at your convenience.
Be aware that in this park, there are an inordinate number of attractions that will
get you wet. If you want to experience them, come armed with ponchos, large plastic
garbage bags, or some other protective covering. Failure to follow this prescription
will make for a squishy, sodden day.
This plan is for families of all sizes and ages and includes thrill rides that may
induce motion sickness or get you wet. If the plan calls for you to experience an at-
traction that does not interest you, simply bypass that attraction and proceed to the
next step. Be aware that the plan calls for some backtracking.
