Hey there. I just watched the video with my kids again to try and remember what we did 😄-we went three years ago so it's a little fuzzy 😜 I think we went the one afternoon late in the afternoon and then I think we dropped back by for an hour or two the next day. I think the only reason we did that was because the ticket we had was able to be used both days. I'm not sure if they still do that or not. Regardless I think 4 hours will be enough but may depend on how busy it is. When we went 4 hours would have been plenty. Not sure if the morning or afternoon will be better-maybe inquire with the park and see if they can tell you which time of the day is busier. I would say if you are going around Christmastime it will likely be busier than when we went at the beginning of December. Hope that helped 😉

Thank you for your reply. The ticket is still valid 2 days. Im just wondering it should be the day before or the day after the day we booked. I want to book the ticket on 28Dec, can I come on 27Dec as well?

Hmm. . .I'm not sure about that one. I think we purchased our tickets right @Santa Park so we used the ticket that day and then the next day. Maybe try to reach out to them via email or Instagram and see if you can get confirmation that way. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Our pleasure! So happy you found it helpful! Hope you have a wonderful time!

Thanks! I am so happy you found it helpful! I hope you have a wonderful trip if you go ❤️

So there are changing rooms down by the waterfall but we actually held up towels in the windows of our car and just changed in the car 🫣😂

I hope you can make it there. It’s super cute!

Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you can come across some of those old videos! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Yeah, as much as it’s not fun to cook on vacation we found it doable with eating at the lodge or one of the restaurants and then cooking in for the other. Not too bad! Hope your trip was great otherwise! 🤩

Thanks so much. The kids loved it there!

I remember that stand but I honestly can’t remember if we had to pay to park. I don’t think we did but now that you asked that I’m questioning it. I don’t think we did though. Might just want to check their site to see 😉

Hey! Glad you enjoyed the video. We tent camped so I don’t 😞. Sorry about that!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed it! I did about get frostbite from holding the camera in my hand with my glove off 🤣

Your welcome! I am so happy to hear it was helpful. I hope you have a wonderful time. It’s definitely one of the favorite places we’ve been!

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!

So interesting the changes! It’s amazing what fast learners kids are. Meanwhile I’m behind them trying not to bust it! I can see how it would be a great place for day trips. We really enjoyed it!

Our pleasure. Honestly such a great family friendly ski resort. We were just telling my brother he needed to bring his family out there 😉👍

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Us too! Thank you!

You are so welcome!

So nice of you. Thank you very much!

Thank you! It was really fun!

Right?! 😂

It was!

Yes it was! Thank you for the kind comments!

@@PeachyKeenes your so Welcome !!!😊 Have A Blessed one !!!🙏🏽

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for commenting and I hope you have a wonderful trip. The caves are so neat ❤️

Light is very detrimental to cave ecosystems, so that's likely why they haven't add more

Hey there. Glad you enjoyed the video. When we visited a year ago we did exactly as you mentioned. We paid to get in and then parked and rode the trolley down. You can also drive down to the area where the lighthouse/restaurants are and park but it is usually very crowded (but we’ve always been there on a weekend in the summer which I’m sure contributed to the crowd). We always do the trolley because that is part of the fun for the kids 😉. Hope that helps!

Many thanks!

Aww thanks so much for your kind comments. I hope you guys love it as much as our family did. It’s one of my kids favorite places! One of their favs is definitely Greg Russell so be sure to check him out if he is there (he might not be since you are going in the spring). Hope you have a wonderful time!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. We were in Brian’s Head Monday thru Friday Jan 23-27. So our East Coast skiing was just in NC at Sugar, Beech, and Appalachian which is nothing like Brian Head 😁. I’m going to write down your suggestion-so thanks for that! I think you will love Brian Head. It’s such a great ski resort for all abilities! Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Thanks so much. It is such a wonderful museum. My kids had a great time. Thanks so much for your kind comments and subscribing ❤️

Thank you Bridget. So we swam first so I had to wear my hair in a bun at the luau so I didn’t look like a drown rat 😁. So we actually changed in the car. There are changing stalls (but they are outside) down by the waterfall so if you carry your stuff down there you. Oils always change there. I’m sure you could always change in the bathrooms up by the luau (which is right by the parking lot) as well. Hope that’s helpful and that you have a wonderful time ❤️

Hi Julie. How fun! I hope you guys have a wonderful time! I’m so happy you found the video helpful. I was just recording with my iPhone. It’s a little tricky doing it while you ski but doable 😂. I can’t speak to the lessons specifically at Appalachian but we’ve found lessons helpful for our kids in the past (especially when they are stubborn 😁). We had our oldest two take them when we went skiing for the first time in Wisconsin. Our youngest hasn’t had lessons but my husband is a great skier so since we wanted to stay together as a family he just taught him. So if no one knows how to ski I would definitely suggest lessons even if just for a 1/2 day to get down the basics. Totally up to you though and what works best for your family dynamics. Sorry that was chatty 😁. Hope ya’ll have a wonderful time ❤️

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

I agree! I was super impressed with the number of poses as well as how wonderful the other employees were. It is definitely our go to spot for Santa!

Thanks for your comment. I love the perspective you shared. It was one of our favorite things on the island as well.

Aww your welcome! I hope you guys have a wonderful time. It’s definitely one of our favorite places!

I’m happy you found it helpful. I hope you have a wonderful time ❤️

Hey! So it’s hard for me to say because we didn’t give ourselves enough time. I would say factor in tours and their lengths and time (I think this info is in their website). I would say give yourself at least an hour and a half for walking to/from the waterfall and playing in it. I would think 1/2 a day would be good but we didn’t do the tours so again it’s hard to say for sure. So just depending on what you would like to do there, that will determine how long to plan. Sorry that’s not specific. Hopefully it’s still a little helpful ❤️

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. We knew that this was likely our only time to make it here with the kids so we decided to bite the bullet and get the tickets (but it was a big bullet 😁). I hope you have a wonderful time. ❤️

Aww. I hope you have a wonderful time. Don’t eat before you go. Save room for lots of ice cream 😁❤️

Aww thanks for your sweet comment. The hike is not bad. Just about 30-45 min. However if you give yourself plenty of time there I believe they have tours where they will take you around and tell you about the valley. After the fact I wished we had spent more time there but we spent some of our day at the North Shore. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much! Sadly it’s taken me this long to publish the other one but it worked out 😂

Your welcome! I’m glad you’ve found them helpful! The fourth grade pass and homeschooling make for a beautiful situation for your family. I hope to have some more National Park videos coming soon. Many of our travels have been fly by the seat of our pants as far as not really having a plan but rather looking for a campsite 3 or 4 hours before setting up camp. Out west it’s definitely doable because of all the free camping but in the East you might want to be a little more planned. I’m super excited for your family. You will make memories you will never forget!
