One-Of-A-Kind Excitement At Blizzard Beach in FloridaThere may be quite a few water parks in the United States; however when it comes to originality and down-right water-shooting blasts of fun, Disney's Blizzard Beach is a top winner. Located in Orlando, Florida within the region of Walt Disney World a person or family wishing to spend the day at Blizzard Beach does not need to be a guest of a Disney resort to enjoy the day at this incredible water park.
To ensure you have a great and trouble-free day of fun, be sure to bring lots of sunscreen, as even if the day is overcast, the strong Florida rays can burn a person quickly. In addition, it is highly recommended to wear water shoes. Water shoes can be bought at Blizzard Beach in Florida or purchased ahead of time. When you see that your feet are not burning and you do not have blisters like some of the other people, you will be very happy you spent the few dollars for the water shoes.
The idea of the theme for Blizzard Beach is that even though you are in Florida, this park is made, in every way, to appear as if you are in the Artic. The detail and work that went into this affect is amazing. “Snow” mounds are everywhere, “ice cubes” float in the waters; mountains are topped with “ice”.
When you first enter the park, if you have not purchased tickets ahead of time, this will be the first thing you do. Next, you should head straight for the booth that will rent you a locker. By the way, detailed and easy to use maps are everywhere, it is quite impossible to get lost. You may rent a small or large locker; families are recommended to rent a large one. This can hold towels, sunscreen and other essentials such as your car keys or wallet.
The key for the locker will be on a rubber wrist band. You can put this on your wrist, or as some like to do you may put in around your ankle; in this way you will never lose they key no matte what rides you go on.
Most people will walk through Blizzard Beach in their bathing suits, as a person with full clothes are not allowed on most slides. Shorts and t-shirts may cover the suits. You will want to retrun to your locker every hour or two, to reapply sunscreen, as the waters will slowly erase it off of you.
When it comes to water fun, Blizzard Beach in Florida is amazing. One of the most notable features of this wintery Blizzard Beach, is that for the long water slides such as Summit Plummet, there are ski lifts to bring you to the top of the mountain. A person may choose to bypass the lift and walk up the stairs. The ski lifts add to the enchantment of feeling that you are somehow in a blizzard artic area while really being in Florida.
Blizzard Beach in Florida has an amazing Cross Country Creek, which is a river that will take you around the entire park. Many will use this as transportation from one area to the next. There are entrances and exits throughout this river and you ride on inner tubes. The river takes you through caves, as well, and the waterfalls that rain on you have icy water.
There is a one-of-a-kind child’s play area that is packed with water fun. Floating ice cubes, water guns to blast out sprays, obstacle courses over the water and so much more.
There are slower water slides and ones that are so fast you almost lose you bathing suit.
Food is a bit pricey, but definitely worth it; portions are large and it feels so good to sit at a table in the shade of an umbrella digging in on chicken, hamburgers, fries and more. Anyone who loves water parks should not miss out on Blizzard Beach in Florida.
