This summer make a splash during your Disney World® Resort vacation at their acclaimed water parks: Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach.  With the summer heat setting in, now is the perfect time to explore these two watery wonderlands.

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoons puts you in the middle of the aftermath of a tropical storm, with “wreckage” and reefs creating the ultimate water playground!  The one of a kind Crush ‘n’ Gusher watercoaster thrill ride is sure to satisfy even the most seasoned waterslide aficionados. With its unique combination of uphill propulsion slides and downhill spills, this is one attraction not to miss!  At the Surf Pool, a two and a half acre lagoon, you’ll find gentle waves fit for lazily bobbing around all the way up to the perfect breaks for surfing. Shark Reef, another “must see” is a salt water lagoon where guests can snorkel with tropical fish, stingrays, and even leopard and bonnethead sharks. Scores of waterslides such as Mayday Falls, Humonga Cowabunga, Gang Plank Falls, and more are sure to become favorites of older kids, teens, and adults.  The younger set will delight in the tame adventure of Ketchakiddee Creek and Castaway Creek, and guests of all ages will enjoy sprawling out and soaking up the sun on Sandy White Beach.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach features 66 acres of endless chills and thrills.  From the moment you catch a glimpse of this park set amidst “snowcapped northern mountains” you can tell this icy retreat is a perfect respite from the humid Orlando heat!  Featuring some of the most exhilarating waterslides around, including Summit Plummet on Mount Gushmore, the nation’s tallest, fastest free-fall speed slide, and the Downhill Double Dipper, a side-by-side set of racing slides, thrill seekers are sure to find the adrenaline rush they have been looking for.  Other favorite attractions include the Toboggan Racer and Slush Gusher.  Families will enjoy getting soaked on Teamboat Springs, the world’s longest family white-water raft ride, then hitting the lazy river and wave pool.
