I have personally never been to Disney World’s two water parks Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. I have a huge fear of waterparks and I think they are probably the grossest thing ever. Anyway… let’s get to the important stuff. Everything that I have researched said that these waterparks are open at weird times of the year and they close on weird days of the year. For example, they are closed on Sunday, November 5th for an unknown reason, so my advice would be to check when they are closed if you are going to plan your vacation around going to these waterparks. A lot of people that I have talked to about Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach say that when the waterparks are open they are packed. I can understand this because the waterparks are in Florida and we all know that Florida is hot. These water parks are also a great way to relax if you are not going to the parks for a day. Let’s get into these two water parks and what they both offer.
Typhoon Lagoon
For a day ticket to Typhoon Lagoon, it is $73.49 for an adult and $67.10 for a kid. Typhoon Lagoon has a more beach-like feel and it has a lot to do for young kids and adults. Here are some of the things that you can do at Typhoon Lagoon.
- Storm Slides
- Anyone can do these and there are 3 of them in the park.
- Miss Adventure Falls
- This is an exotic family ride that takes you up onto a mountain and sends you back down to search for “hidden” treasures.
- Mayday Falls
- This slide is the most intense one in the park because it is the longest and highest one.
- Keelhaul Falls
- This slide is the least intense one and it can be super fun because you are on a raft.
- Humunga Kowabunga
- This is a 214 feet-enclosed slide that is super thrilling.
- Gangplank Falls
- This is a 300-foot-long waterslide and you can have four people going down this slide on a raft at a time.
- Crush ‘n’ Cusher
- This is a water roller coaster and people riding this have the option of three different slides to choose from.
- Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool
- This is Typhoon Lagoon’s wave pool but the waves in here can get up to 6-feet tall!
- Castaway Creek
- A super relaxing lazy river for everyone to enjoy.
- Ketchakiddee Creek
- A part of the park is for kids that are 48 inches or short.
- Bay Slides
- Another part of the park is for younger kids who might want to do water slides.
- Typhoon Tilly’s

Blizzard Beach
Unlike Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach is more of a cold beach (hence the name) where you will find fake snow and different statues in hats and gloves. To add, Blizzard Beach is the same price for adults and kids as Typhoon Lagoon. Let’s see what Blizzard Beach has to offer.
- Melt-Away Bay
- This is a massive wave pool but it is a lot more calm than Typhoon Lagoon’s.
- Cross Country Creek
- Another massive lazy river.
- Ski Patrol Training Camp
- A cute water obstacle course!

- An adorable themed Frozen area for younger kids.

- Massive slides.
- Slush Gusher
- Another thrilling slide.
- Snow Stormers
- Racing slides with mats.

- This is a 12-story iconic Blizzard Beach attraction.
- Teamboat Springs
- This is a family raft ride that can hold up to six guests while on a raft.

- Another racing water slide!
- Chairlift
- A cool ski slop chairlift where you can see the park.
- Avalunch
- Quick service lunch.\
- Lottawatta Lodge (quick service lunch)

This is my comment for the Disney Springs post because I couldn’t find a place to comment on that one.
Although I’m not that into shopping, I was a huge fan of Disney Springs’ shops when I went there. I like a good specialty shop, like the Coca-Cola and Lego Stores. I got arguably my favorite hat at that Coca-Cola shop; Coke is by far my favorite soda, so I liked repping their brand (Until the hat got eaten by a dog). I’ve also always been a fan of Lego Stores, I like how you can go in and build minifigures and all of that without having to pay for them if you don’t keep them. I also really liked the food at Disney Springs; I forget the name of the place I went to, but it served primarily burgers and was right on the water. (Also PSA, don’t get the impossible burger it gave one of my friends food poisoning). Besides that little tidbit, the food was very good.
After reading this, I definitely wish I was able to take a ride on some of these water-themed attractions right now! I already love water parks, but combining that with the fact that these two are at Disney makes me want to go even more. I’ve been to Disney a couple times, but I don’t think I have ever gone to either water park. I didn’t really know much about either park before this post, but I am definitely intrigued by the theme of the second park. I would love to experience how it would feel to be at a water park and look around me and see snow and ski lifts. What do you think led Disney to implement a winter themed water park specifically?
I can’t imagine how much fun I will have in these water parks! Just to picture an image where I slide down a 300 feet waterslide on a hot summer in Florida gives me satisfaction. Disney has a theme for every park, and so far, I have never explored any themed water park, there are some adventures that you can only access in Disney park instead of any other ones!
