I had been wanting a rewards card for awhile, and after doing lots of reading I settled on Bonvoy. She picked to go to Soundwaves instead of having a birthday party! □□ We just booked our SECOND stay at Opryland Hotel this year, and it was FREE with our Marriott Bonvoy points! We will go this weekend for Madeline’s birthday. They loved exploring the hotel as much as Soundwaves Soundwaves is a warm 86 degrees! Bring sunscreen. Here are some more pics from our stay! Water = cold. We were able to do this easily just by putting all of our expenses on the Marriott card during that time. Be sure and read the fine print: we had to use our debit card initially for the deposit, then they transferred our balance to the Bonvoy card upon arrival at the hotel.Īnd if you use my referral link, you can earn 3 free nights, if you spend $3000 with your card the first three months. Get approved for the Marriott Bonvoy credit card for $200 credited back. An example of the rate calendar is below. When I pulled up their rates calendar where you can see prices for each day of the year, that date was the lowest, so we jumped at it. Waiting until June would be a) peak season, and b) have costed three times as much. Her birthday is in June and we just went so that tells you we were extremely flexible. We went for my oldest daughter’s birthday and booked the for the end of our spring break. There can be a $200 or more variance in cost from one day to the next. They post offers and discounts there.Īnother way we were able to get a better rate was by being flexible with the date we chose. Be sure to follow Gaylord Opryland on social media. I was able to find a teacher discount just by doing a google search, and if you live in Nashville/Davidson county they offer a special discount. When I booked there was a Soundwaves package, and when you go to the website for Soundwaves/Gaylord Opryland, you will most likely end up on Marriott Bonvoy website since that is who you will book through. I didn’t look into the cost of booking a party room, but it is an option to consider. My daughter wanted family time instead of a party, and really wanted to stay at the hotel anyway. You will need to book a hotel room or a party room to do Soundwaves. My big girl devoured the tiramisu and my little one turned the creme brûlée over to me after trying one bite. Our girls begged for desserts from room service. Pizzas are cooked in wood fired ovens and it was great because pizza is a favorite food of my picky eater who is five. It was $4 for a big slice, which was enough to fill me up. If you are on a budget like we were, the pizza place located in the Delta was yummy and a good deal. We did bring lots of snacks with us on the trip and made frequent visits to our room to consume them and save money. They don’t allow you to bring outside food into Soundwaves. It looked cool if you wanted to grab a bite without worrying about drying off and changing clothes. Lockers cost $12 in the Soundwaves area.Īs far as food, we didn’t go there, but it was nice that they had Decibels restaurant inside Soundwaves. We recommend locking up valuables in your room. In addition to the lazy river and a traditional pool, Soundwaves offers something for everyone in the family, from a gentle toddler area, to a more daring kid area with climbing and an obstacle course, to surfing and super fast water slides. We took everything to our room and checked out our digs, then spent another hour on the lazy river at Soundwaves. Once your room is ready, you can grab your bags, get your bearings and go back to Soundwaves if you want. You won’t need beach towels they provide them for you! We thought ahead and packed a pool bag with everything we would need and had our swimsuits on under our clothes. You will need to pay $32 for parking and it is only $8 more for valet. When you book your package, you can request early arrival, which we did, and they will hold your bags and let you go ahead to the water park while they are preparing your room. Everything about our stay was satisfying from customer service when we arrived, to our fancy schmancy hotel room to enjoying walking around the beautiful hotel grounds. We had the best experience at Soundwaves.
