In this section, we provide our reviews and (for some trips) the ranking of the trips. In the next section, we have a route/itinerary that will tell you the order in which you need to go through it. For each trip, we also specify the type, altitude requirements, other requirements and location. Like Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach essentially has a circular layout. The center of the park is Mount Gushmore, which is home to most of the slides. Around (approximately) the outer edge is the Lazy River, Cross Country Creek.

During the summer months, afternoon thunderstorms are quite regular and result in the temporary closure of all attractions. Arrive at the open park and try to do as much as possible before lunch. When you arrive, the artists line the entrance, throwing beach balls, handing out high fives, and dancing to cheerful music.
Definitely a warm welcome! Don`t forget to take a photo with the Setting of Blizzard Beach and meet Goofy along the way. You won`t be on your way out near the park, or if there`s bad weather. The Polar Pub is a bar with a good number of seats in the middle of the beach of melt-away Bay. Past the rides, in the southeast corner of the park you will reach Melt-Away Bay, the beach and the wave pool. Behind, to the east, is the second bridge that connects you to the entrance area of Lottawatta Lodge. A tour of the park takes about 15 minutes. Visit our page with altitude requirements for all Walt Disney World attractions. The first aid station is located near the entrance to the park between Lottawatta Lodge and beach house (a shop where you can get Blizzard Beach souvenirs, beachwear, shoes and trifles). The lounge and sun loungers are set up to encourage physical distancing and signs warn guests not to move the chairs. When it comes to lazy rivers, Cross Country Creek is average. It has some notable elements, like a cave that runs through Mount Gushmore and Ice Gator`s cabin, but otherwise it`s an average swimmer through a water park.
It is a long, lazy river that lasts over 28 minutes and has seven entrances around the park. This attraction has guests mating and running 50 feet downhill in a largely enclosed row of water slides. Frostbite Freddy`s: A bar serving soft drinks and craft beers. The sister slides towards Summit Plummet, this extreme ride may not be as intense as its neighbor, but it still has a lot of punch and involves a maximum of thrills. 3 completely different rides make you float at the back of Mount Gushmore before diving into a pool at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes places are available on the same day. You can check them out at Shade Shack Rentals in the park. Pros: Great place to grab a quick lunch and drink (and use snack credits for things like cheesecake and waffle bags), mobile control available in the Polar-themed My Disney Experience playground, which gives little guests the ability to climb their own pint-sized slides. Blizzard Beach is the largest water park at Walt Disney World Resort. It applies an outrageous ski resort theme to a fantastic water adventure park. It is action-oriented, with a focus on slides and thrills. It has more than 17 slides, a wave pool, an area for pre-teens and a space specially designed for small tikes.
The water is heated to 80 degrees at Blizzard Beach. The Toboggan Racer is an eight-lane race track. You`ll lie on a mat and drive the course as it dives and drifts into the mountainside of Mount Gushmore. Smoking is permitted only in designated smoking areas. Blizzard Beach records the water temperature in the area between the main bridge and the Avalunche area. They give distinct temperatures for the stream, ski patrol area and melt away Bay. In the same area, they also publish a wait time map for ski patrol, Summit Plummet, Downhill Double Dippers, Slush Gushers, Teamboat Springs and Snow Stormers. During the summer, afternoon storms are frequent and cause the park to close.
If the storms don`t seem to last long, this closure is usually temporary and often leads to a mass exodus of guests, which means that if you can handle the rain for a while, you`ll often find shorter queues after the all-clear is given to return to the water. From the top of the ride, you`ll get a 360-degree view of Walt Disney World, including the park`s four symbols. And to get out of that bird`s-eye view, to push yourself off that ledge to start the journey, is nothing short of terrifying. They continue to fall almost directly on twelve floors, much of which is open-air. The best thing about this ride compared to other similar rides is that it gradually aversions, making it a pleasant landing. Overall, it`s a great thrill ride. To get around during your trip painlessly, we have a simple and free WDW preparatory school navigator that you can save to your phone. Disney offers an annual water park pass for $148.04 (all children 3 years and older). This pass covers every day of the year. It has no other pass benefits.
(The pass is available from update 1. July 2021 is no longer available for this article.) The lockers are keyless and can be accessed via a four-digit PIN code that you select yourself. The rental process is managed on a touch screen – the customer selects the desired locker size, then pays in cash or credit card. This can make it better for young children who can enjoy the whole pool all day long. If you`re a fan of conquering giant waves, the Blizzard Beach wave pool could of course disappoint you. After reopening in March 2021, Blizzard Beach will have several health and safety measures in place. All customers measured their temperature with a non-contact thermomenter. Park Hopper Plus is a ticket option to Disney World that includes Park Hopper (the add-on that allows you to visit multiple parks in a single day) and complementary Water Park and Sports activities. (Note: I won`t constantly confirm that these two lists remain the same, but the most important thing for our analysis is that Park Hopper Plus includes water parks).
Cons: Sometimes closed during less busy times of the year Blizzard Beach is one of two water parks operated by Disney at Walt Disney World Resort (the other is Typhoon Lagoon). It is close to Animal Kingdom and All-Star Resorts. Blizzard Beach has twelve attractions, eight restaurants/snacks/bars, and one shop. There`s really no situation where you can`t drive all the blizzard beach rides in one day. It may not be worth getting every slide (some rides have multiple slides), but visiting each attraction is easy. The Blizzard Beach chairlift looks and behaves like a traditional ski slope chairlift. With the chairlift you can save many steps as it takes you to the top of the green slope where you can take Summit Plummet, Slush Gusher or Teamboat Springs. Guests who do not meet the 32-inch requirement can access the green track via the nearby stairs. Tike`s Peak is the children`s playground (under 48 inches/122 cm) at Blizzard Beach. It has various features of water and small fountains.
