Attractions
**************
Blizzard Beach has lots of rides on offer for the whole family.
Summit Plummet – Summit Plummet is an amazing ride that in tales you walking up many stairs to get to the top of a 120 foot slide. You don’t realise how steep it is until you go over the brow of the slide and fall almost vertically down to the bottom. As you go down you speed up to near 60 mph. I found this an amazing ride. A lot of my friends ...

Advantages: Great for everyone, Lots of different slides Disadvantages: Heat of walkways in the summer
...introduction... I have been to Blizzard Beach approx. 7 times. Most of the visits were with my parents between 1997 and 2000, however I recently visited twice in January 2007. WHEN TO VISIT
The "When To Visit" Orlando is a well strung out debate...I have visited in July / August as well as January. Most of it is down to personal preference. We last visited in Janaury (60 - 70 degrees each day) and most people said we'd be mad to try the water parks. ... ...bad" time to visit Blizzard Beach...if in Walt Disney World, head down, if only for a few hours.
GENERAL INFO
Blizzard Beach is one of Disney's two Orlando Water Parks (the other being Typhoon Lagoon). It is based on a winter wonderland in the sun. All the slides have plastic snow on them to make it look like it it is the middle of the winter. This is a park for all member of the family no matter what the age so is well worth the visit.

Advantages: great for family's, fun day Disadvantages: the climb's
Having been to blizzard beach twice now its one of those parks that will always be in your top 4
The park is set out as though it's just been hit by a massive snow storm with plastic snow all around but do not fear, no chance of being cold with the florida heat .Its a great place to visit for any couple or family. Now with this park being set on mount gushmore you may think of lots of walking is true but you may want to take the chairlift which ... ...in a rather different fashion lol.Having said that it's a great way to check out the park .
PRICES:
On what i recall it was about $35 adult not much difference for any child over 3 but under 3's were free of charge.Always good to purchase a ultimate park pass, which with us just buying some due to us returning next year it cost about £180 per person ( i need to ride the parks ultimate ride again )
FOOD & DRINK:
Lots of places to grab a bite to ...

Advantages: not bad price, looks amazing, some amazing sildes Disadvantages: wait time can get very long for slides
...I recently went to blizzard beach a Disney water park with some of the best slides in the world. It is a place for the whole family an adventure you will never forget.
Blizzard beach has some has some of the best slides in the world. These include a slide that reaches 55mph in less than 3 seconds. More over there is one of the longest family river rapids in the world and for those who just like to lie Down a relaxing lazy river, all with a touch ... ...is amazing) Blizzard beach unlike it's brother typhoon lagoon is very shaded and not as busy.( I'm not saying the park is empty though) the water has lots to do for not a bad price- just over £20 each. In addition with the tickets you buy you can re enter the park on the same day for free.
On the other hand you have to get to blizzard beach early to have a chance of getting on the slides with out waiting for over an hour. When this happens you are ...

Advantages: better rides for older members of the family Disadvantages: Again not an all day park
The adults water park. It still ahs the disney story behind how the park was made and it still has small rides for the younger generation but this is wherethe rides start to get bigger in relation to typhoon lagoon
There is once again a lazy river and the main pools for every one to swim in but there is a few more exciting rides which includes fast slides and the ride i call the drop of death. Individually you sit at the top of the huge 85ft drop ... ...into the water below hoping that you hit the slide on the way down which some people i saw did not always do till they were nearly at the end.
The best way to experience disney is with the flexible ticket which you can buy from travel agents and ticket sellers online. This gives you certain amount of visits to the parks during a holiday to orlando.
Again its not the type of park i could stay in all day but it is a must see. Outside the park there ...
