Anyone have a good touring plan for Volcano Bay?
Not sure, they used to send everyone to the right as you face the volcano, (I did EE from Volcano Bay in May and I always head right now so I don't remember if they are still dong that) I always set up in front of the Dancing Dragons bar because proximity to rum punch is important to me! You can certainly walk as far as Krakatau and the Honu/Ika Moana rides. Where are you looking to set up?Hi ,for EE for volcano bus, we have heard certain areas are not open until official opening time .
Does anyone know what areas are open for EE , we have picked our spot to setup but want to make sure it's available when we do EE

PS love the username! Want to spend more time in Galway next trip to Ireland.
Not sure about that area for EE. I don't recall them pushing everyone to the right last time, can't say for sure. (Sorry.) I guess if you have to wait and move there it might not be too bad. (Put your stuff near the main pool and do a few rides first?) Those areas don't fill up fast usually. There is a nice quiet area around the Puka Uli Lagoon that way too.Thanks
We had picked an area just before the Bambu restaurant, there is a small area with coverings.

Good luck! When are you going? I am staying at Cabana Bay in mid-August, have a 3 park Ap, and use VB as my pool because it is so convenient.Thanks for help
In 4 days , 13 hour plus travel day :/Good luck! When are you going? I am staying at Cabana Bay in mid-August, have a 3 park Ap, and use VB as my pool because it is so convenient.
We were there Memorial Day weekend, and did EE rope drop. Left side was open, but the walkway was blocked off so that you couldn't go past the Volcano.Hi ,for EE for volcano bus, we have heard certain areas are not open until official opening time .

That’s how it was for us in June but it wasn’t blocked until you got further back. We walked all the way around there not knowing that and had to turn around. Still got good shady spots to sit but wasted a few minutes walking back and forth. It would have been nice knowing that considering we passed about 15 employees before they turned us around.We were there Memorial Day weekend, and did EE rope drop.

If the Krakatau is Ride Now when you get there, you can grab a virtual time as soon as you get off then make your way to the drop slides. The wait for Kookiri Body Plunge increases faster than the other drop slides so I would recommend that one first. If it is Ride Now then you can simply hop on. If there is a wait then you can make the decision to keep your Krakatau reservation or replace it.If we get there at rope drop for EE, would it be better to ride Krakatau or tap into it and ride the drop slides first? Is it even possible to tap into it right away? We've never been but I know my kids will want to do all of the thrill rides.
That makes sense! Thank you!If the Krakatau is Ride Now when you get there, you can grab a virtual time as soon as you get off then make your way to the drop slides.

I figure if we can plan for the first few rides then we can figure it out after that! We don't usually stay at a water park (or any park) all day so I don't think the cabanas would be worth it for us. We have 4-day 3-park passes so I think we're more likely to come for a few hours at a time. We're also staying at the Hard Rock so I think I'm most excited about the proximity of everything as compared to Disney!I am going to be that person-the first and only time we have been we did a cabana and that was amazing! Even the premium seating looked great-I would highly recommend that.
We did pay attention to some plans-get Krakatoa as one of your earliest rides as it can get hot as the sun gets higher in the sky. Also really look at a map before going anywhere! We kept getting lost trying to find both lazy rivers!
