Frequently Asked Questions - Answers
We have food that has been donated, can we bring it in?
Due to our state catering license we cannot allow any outside food or beverage brought into the resort. Many schools
opt to provide the students with a snack while on the bus to the resort.
How many students do we need to have to hold our event at Double JJ Resort?
We don’t require a particular number of students; we invite schools of all sizes to enjoy Double JJ Resort.
Back to FAQs
What do we need to do first to secure our date?
We will prepare a letter of agreement which states:
What type of Deposit do you require, and what are the payment options?
To secure your date we require a $1,000 deposit and a signed letter of agreement. 90 days prior to your event we ask for 80% of the estimated balance (less the deposit), and one week prior to your arrival we ask for payment to be made in full.
Back to FAQs
Do you allow for more than one school at the same time?
We have a rotation schedule, which means if we have two schools in one night we rotate the events and activities accordingly so the different schools will not be in the same building at the same time.
Back to FAQs
What are the different areas of the resort?
We have three different areas of the resort, allowing for three different ‘Mystery’ locations for the school’s events and activities. Maps of the resort can be found by clicking here.

*Tip: The first school to secure their date is able to lock in their schedule of events. All other schools' itineraries will be determined according to each school's activities & events, as well as their arrival & departure times.
Is each location within walking distance?
The three locations are located along a two mile stretch. We don’t recommend the schools walk to the different areas. The school is responsible for providing transportation to each location, provided their activities/events are in different locations of the resort.

Can we have more than one activity going on at once?
Yes! We actually encourage having activities running simultaneously. For instance, maybe not every student would be interested in the Waterpark, so during the Waterpark timeframe you could have the Mechanical Bull, Arcade, and a Movie taking place as well.
Back to FAQs
Can we stay longer in the Waterpark?
It is possible; there are a few different factors that would determine this possibility. However, we don’t recommend extra time in the Waterpark due to advice given from past schools. The students tend to lose interest and are ready to move onto the next activity after two hours of swimming.
Back to FAQs
What time would our event start and end? How long is the event?
We customize your start and end time according to your schedule. We understand that all schools have different time frames, and are traveling different distances to get to Double JJ Resort. The length of the event can be as long or as short as your group decides. We recommend at least four hours in order for the students to enjoy the activities and not feel rushed. On average, most schools stay about 6-8 hours and have no problem filling that amount of time with a very eventful night of entertainment.
Back to FAQs
Can we bring in outside vendors such as massage therapists, tattoo artists, etc.? What about
other entertainment companies that offer items like photo booths, cash cubes, green screens, etc.?
You are more than welcome to bring in outside vendors and entertainment attractions. Just be sure to let us know when and where you plan to have these items during your event. Also, let us know what time/date a company may be delivering an attraction.
Back to FAQs
Do you provide decorations or can we bring in our own?
We do not provide any decorations. You are more than welcome to bring in your own, however they cannot be put up until the start time for your group in that venue location, and must be removed before the end time for your group in that venue location. We request no confetti or candles be used for decorations.
Back to FAQs
When do we need to have all our details finalized?
We like to have all the minor details finalized at least 90 days prior to your event. This gives us plenty of time to communicate with our staff. We recommend setting a time to do a final walk through with our activity and food & beverage staff about 30 days prior to your event. This helps ensure everyone is on the same page and all questions are answered.
