Orlando, Disney Blizzard Beach Water Park Review

Overall Rating

Don't pay for parking and it's close.

Lockers expensive. On the theme park bus you have to go via a resort hotel to get there.

Another well thought out Disney theme. No car park charge here. Lockers are expesive but $5 is a deposit returned at the end. The lockers are a bit small 2 adults and 1 child is really a large locker unless you leave some stuff in the car (you can come and go to the car quite easily and it isn't that far). Spent a day and half here and still didn't do everything my kid just wanted to do things again and again. We went on the Ski Lift first which he loved and you can see quite a few of the rides as you go past, lots of pointing and can we do's. Teamboat Springs family raft ride first grinning from ear to ear (need at least 3 for this so if there is only two you have to wait for someone else to turn up). This exit to this led nicely to Ski Patrol Training Camp. The aerial wires were a favourite with lots of goes down and dropping into the water. The ice burgs (polystyrene floats) chained in the pool to walk across were also a big hit. The small slides were only a single go each but still brought out a big grin. Then it was off to the Toboggan Racers and Snow Stormers they start from the same place and use the same mats to go down on. Little one is only 4 so was a bit small to get himself started on these but lifeguards would help to push him off or I could push him off and then go on the next lane. The Toboggan run was speed and stops in a couple of inches of water. The Snow Stormers come out into a pool but if you are small you can actually float on the mats to the exit steps. Run Off Rapids is for single or double riders in tubes, choose before you go as doubles go down the open and singles down the enclosed, it ended up me and kid down one double and wife and someone else that didn't know swapping around at the top to come down. The wave pool was constant normal sea type waves with a limited number of inner tubes left lying around which you have to pounce on to get. The lazy river was long with squirters every so often and I think changes direction from day to day (seemed to be going the other way round the second time we went), the life guards don't seem to worry if you don't have a ring which can be a bit more fun. Didn't manage the Downhill Double Dipper, Sumit Plumet or Slush Gusher as kid is only 40" tall. We didn't manage the kiddies bit Tike Peak either! Just ran out of time. The pathways here had a few sprinklers on them to keep to them a bit cooler so you can get away with bare feet. It wasn't that sunny while we were there so didn't really need the shade but there didn't seem to be much while queuing for the rides which may be a problem in the hot periods. We didn't manage all of it but this was the one the little one wanted to go back to for the extra half day and went on all the same things again. Definitely a good day out and well worth going.
