Walt Disney World Water Parks Offer More Fun in the Sun

Spending the entire day in a swimsuit is a pretty good idea when the normal high temperatures are in the 90s, which is why summertime is the peak season for Walt Disney World Water Parks. Parking at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon is free of charge, and many Disney resorts offer shuttles directly to the parks.

In true Walt Disney World fashion, entering either one of the Disney water parks brings guests into another world. Blizzard Beach—near Disney’s Animal Kingdom—has a ski resort theme and features an actual ski lift to bring visitors to the top of Mt. Gushmore, a steep hill that resembles a downhill ski jump and is the focal point of Blizzard Beach. Cross Country Creek encircles the entire park, making it easy—and fun—to make your way across Blizzard Beach

Visitors entering Typhoon Lagoon—near Downtown Disney—are greeted by the sound of the park’s mammoth wave pool. Snorkel in Shark Reef, lounge around the entire park on an inner tube in Castaway Creek, or let the kids spend some quality time in Ketchakiddee Creek. With extended summer hours, either one of Walt Disney World’s water parks will keep visitors cool in the hot Florida sun.
