PCB Spring Break tips compiled and categorized

So I was going through all the stuff on this site, and I was like "this stuff is amazing, but there's no way I'm going to remember it all for Spring Break." So I went through and copy and pasted any useful stuff I found into a Word document, and I categorized it to make it easy to find (since I'm not going to be in any condition to read through a long paper while I'm down there ). A lot of it is from JSealse's thread, but there's stuff from other threads too, and I hope it adds something anyways, especially since it makes all the tips easy to find. Some of the stuff may conflict with each other, but that's because different people on the boards have different opinions. Sorry I didn't keep track of who said what so I could give you guys credit, but thanks for your contributions. I hope this helps everyone make their spring breaks even more sick!

Daytime
  • Most of the Action during the day is on the Beach behind the super clubs and larger hotels (especially Sunspree and Holiday Inn). Tons of free stuff handed out
  • Don’t worry about day time pool parties at hotels, no one spends any time there during the day.
  • During the day, everyone is on the beach behind the super clubs and Holiday Inn Sunspree. Also, the best pool party during the day is at Club Lavela ( no cover).
  • Spinnaker daytime: free entry, 5 beer pong tables, $1 beers, $4 pitchers
  • The beach behind Spinnaker and LaVela are pretty much one big party.
  • MTV is the behind Boardwalk this year
  • A lot of sponsor tents are behind Summit
  • Spinnaker will be giving away free entry passes for the night during the day.
  • When all the vendors/stages start closing up during the day, La Vela is the place to be
  • I do recommend going to Pineapple Willy's and getting the Fat Tuesday frozen drinks at the bar there. It works magic on a hangover.
  • All you need to know is if you see someone with a plastic bat is bring a beer over and ask them how to play.
  • If you're really into drinking games other than beer pong at Spinnaker, go behind the Summit where it is most densely populated.
Hotel Parties/Pools
  • if you are not registered at the larger hotels you can not party there unless someone can sneak you a bracelet.
  • The Holiday Inn Sunspree will have a DJ spinning it 24/7 around the pool area along with a really sick party plus they host swimsuit/wet t-shirt contests and have all kinds of games out on the beach front.
  • The Boardwalk (hotel area, not the condos) also hosts contests and games. I dont know exactly what its going to be like this year since MTVU is taking over the scene but I'm sure it will be a major party scene as well.
  • Chateau doesn’t ever check wristbands
  • Sandpiper has both an indoor and an outdoor pool, an indoor and outdoor Jacuzzi, and a lazy river.
  • Someone said you can buy a daytime wristband for Holiday Inn for $25
Contests/Freebies/Stages
  • Volunteer for everything and I mean everything. There will be planned events all day long from…… wet t-shirt contest and tug of war to obstacle courses and mud wrestling. Do it all!
  • If a promoter offers you free stuff…….. Take it!!! You may have to fill out a couple papers here and there, but who cares…
  • The best promotion booth is the Trojan Condom Booth (Usually set up outside LaVela). They will give out free condoms, but you have to play their games to get them. However if you win you can get the ultimate prize… The vibrating condom or the visor what ever you prefer…
  • The more girls you bring on stage with you during wet t-shirt contest and booty shaking conest the better chance you have to win (free bar tabs, free club entry, and stuff like that)
Restaurants
  • The best after hour hang out place is " The Waffle House".
  • Pineapple Willy’s: we eat at Pineapple Willy's when we want to watch march madness; We went to Pineapple Willy's every year to watch March Madness too. They have good food too. The best was their Fat Tuesday frozen drinks there. We would walk down there from the Boardwalk. Great cure for a hangover. My fav is Pinneapple Willys, no questions asked!! If you can get seated out on their deck, its the best atmosphere and you can get as loud as you want. This time im gonna have to try their famous ribs in a bucket.
  • hungry howies and steaks shakes and pancakes im thinking was good and cheap
  • Spinnakers: has my favorite food. Its prolly the best priced too. Gotta love Spinnaker's paradise burger, that thing is huge and taste great.
  • Angelos has great steaks.
  • Captain Jacks used to have a great seafood buffet. Used to be alot of hot girls in there.
  • right across the street of sunspree they always have free breakfast at the bowling ally
Party Cards
  • Don't be fooled!!!!!! I know that most of the La Vela and Panoramic Party Cards say that you get free beer between 7pm-9pm, but LaVela and Spinnaker actually gives everyone free beer from 7pm-9pm (most of the time). You get one plastic cup when you enter the club and u can refill this cup with as much beer as you can drink up until 9pm. Spinnaker actually lets you choice between beer and Rum punch!
  • If you don't like lines buy a VIP pass to Spinnakers, because that will get you in the place in 2 seconds. They're only like $60, and good for the whole week. Spinnakers says they open at 7 pm, rarely do they. It is often 7:30. You might not think this is a big deal but if you're in the back of the line with 250 people in it and they take their sweet *** time checking ID's like they always do your 2 free hours of drinks from 7-9 just turned into a half hour.
  • Panamaniac card: I dont care about the free beer portion cause the lines are usually so long for them that you might get 2 to 3 cups filled that night before they run out.
  • Yea the lines can be long but it saves u on cover every single night
  • Rockstar: I heard alot of people complain about it last year so I wouldn't get it.
  • Spinnaker sells a “Super Card” for $125. It gets free express entry for 4 people, discounted drink prices, and admission to VIP lounge and Penthouse Bar. Probably be better off with a Panamaniac card.
  • The cards are an even better deal if you’re under 21, since then you’d otherwise be paying a much higher cover.
  • If you buy a Panamaniac card, mention to the person about free Tiki Bar passes. I wasn't going to buy one so I told the guy I'd be going to the Tiki Bar a lot instead of the bigger clubs and he threw in 3 free Tiki passes for me and my two friends.
