Disney's Blizzard Beach welcomes water lovers back to the slopes following a six-week seasonal refurbishment.
Blizzard Beach is a zany water adventure park with the atmosphere and excitement of a major ski resort in the midst of a tropical lagoon. The 66-acre park features water fun for the whole family with slides, raft rides and the ultimate 120-foot-high Summit Plummet -- the nation's tallest, fastest free-fall speed slide, visible from almost anywhere in the park.
The sandy beach below Mt. Gushmore offers a large heated wave pool, a lazy river, two snack bars, a polar pub lodge and a pre-teen and children's play area. Other facilities include: dressing/locker rooms, life jacket rentals, towel rentals, merchandise shop and picnic areas throughout the park. Operating hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, visit disneyworld.com or call 407/824-4321.
