The 13 Commandments of Hot Tub use

Moses only needed 10 commandments, but he only had a Red Sea, not a resort spa

1.  Sound advice to call 911 if there is an emergency. I think most first graders know this, but it never hurts to remind people

2.  The lifeguard said number 2 is "a gray area". Basically he said no one is going to check unless you try to use the pool at the high end resorts (Contemporary, Grand Floridian or Polynesian). If you try that then you're banished to the Super 8.

3.  Sound advice. Eat your meatball hero in the food court and not the hot tub

4.  I'm assuming glass is in reference to items you drink from and not the screens on all the smart phones I saw poolside

5.  I'm not sure anyone wants to be called a "load". Yes you tend to over eat on vacation, but still. I'm guessing all the politically correct terminologies are going to be thrown away now.

6.  Always good to know when it opens and closes. Without this we would have anarchy. This is a solid rule

7.  Not one person took a shower before entering. To double down, no one showered upon leaving. Maybe they thought the shower they took last night qualified ?

8.  I stayed in for 18 1/2 minutes. I'm a history buff and I wanted to see if that amount of missing time would do me in like it did Nixon. 2 hours later I still haven't had to resign from anything. 

9.  I'm no expert, but 104 sounds like an arbitrary number unlike 100 for pitch counts which seems to be much more scientific

10.  Half the kids in the hot tub were around 8 and we wound up supervising them. I guess it doesn't say that it has to be your specific parents

11.  This was a long commandment. Basically it's Disney covering themselves from lawsuits if you are foolish enough to use the hot tub if you're drunk or strung out.

12.  If you don't listen to #11 then you best follow #12, unless you like the taste of spa water

13.  Very much a discriminatory commandment. What about diaper wearing seniors ?  Is kiddie urine somehow more toxic to the rest of us?

BONUS COMMANDMENT:
No Diving into the 2 1/2 foot deep hot tub. Somewhere on the planet there's a hot tub diving victim who collected millions for their pain and suffering
