blizzard beach

Hi, am wondering if anyone has been to Blizzard Beach or the other water park at Disney (can't remember the name). Which one is better and is it worth the momey...I am sure it must be better than Wet and Wild???????????

Disney's water parks are Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, River Island is now closed.

My teenagers love Blizzard Beach, while they were younger we used to go to Typhoon Lagoon. Both are excellent water parks with fun rides. We have been to Wet'n'Wild when we had one of the 10 day attraction tickets between them, Universal and Sea World. To us it seemed like a concrete jungle. This may have been because we were there in the summer, it was very hot, and my eldest daughter and I both got prickly heat - which we have never got at the Disney parks.

You have to take adequate precautions for the high season, keep in the shade for some of the time, but it is a fun day, and in my opinion, worth every penny.

We prefer typhoon lagoon, mainly due to the wave machine, we just like bobbin around. However blizzard does have the summit plummet, or should that be "gusset buster"

I like Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon equally, they are both fantastic[msnsmile2]I just wish we had done River Country before it closed[msnsad]

They are both the best!! Get there when they open especially in the summer time as the afternoon showers will finish your day around 3pm but by that time you will have done pretty much all the slides twice over!

best time of the day during the summer. 1st drop of rain, everyone heads for the exit. Most time's 20 minutes later, shower over, heat still lurvely, and zilch people around.

beware summit plummet a friend of ours went down it and you could still see the bruises 2 weeks later.

Check the official Disney website or any of the discussion boards about this winters rehab dates, this year I do know for a fact Typhoon Lagoon will be closed in Jan, it used to be BB but they swapped schedules.

Typhoon Lagoon is most certainly our favorite, a really good all round family day out. Our children are 12, 6 and 3 and we usually have my parents in tow who are nearly 60, we all love going to this parkand all find something we enjoy.

My husband did Summitt Plummitt and he HAD quite hairy legs, he looked like he had been waxed, with just one stripe down the sides of his legs - it caused some amusement for the rest of us !

Hi Tracy! Wow! I have to say, that I have done Summit Plummit a few times and had no problems apart from a big wedgie!

The slush gusher which is the wavy slide next to SP is far far worse! I have hurt my back so many times on that slide, but it's so much fun!
