Disney Blizzard Beach Water Park
Disney Blizzard Beach is one of two water parks in Disney World. This one is themed after a ski resort where a freak snowstorm hit. While it might look chilly, this Disney water park is warm all year!
The focal point of Disney’s Blizzard Beach is Summit Plummet which stands at 120 feet and sends you free-falling at speeds 60 miles per hour.
It is the second-tallest and fastest free-fall water slide in the world!
While you can walk all the way to the top, there is a second way to get to the ride.
Blizzard Beach has a chair lift that will take you to the upper area of the park.

Other Fun Areas to Explore at Blizzard Beach
While there are slides throughout the water park, other areas should be explored.
Blizzard Beach also features a lazy river, kid’s play areas, and a wave pool.
Cross Country Creek
One of the best ways to relax is to grab a float and spend an hour traveling around Blizzard Beach in their lazy river.
Cross Country Creek is also a great way to get from one part of the park to the other! There is no need to walk when you have a lazy river to carry you to your next destination.

This is a part of the park that kids & tweens are going to really enjoy. There are some smaller-scale body slides and an obstacle course pool.

If you are traveling with the littles, they will enjoy wading pools and these activities that come with a touch of frozen fun:

The park is also home to the Melt-Away Bay, a 1.2 million gallon pool with waves up to six feet high.
