If you’re a fan of the water parks and want to visit one at Walt Disney World, your choice is easy - Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. But if you have limited time, how do you choose?
First, all water parks are fun and both are great for the whole family. If you visit Typhoon Lagoon you’ll find a great wave surf pool with a beach atmosphere that has a zero depth entry. If you’re looking for speed at Typhoon Lagoon there is Crush N’ Gusher, Humunga Kowabunga and the Storm Slides, all providing spillways, corkscrews and most important SPEED! To top it off, at Typhoon Lagoon you’ll have an opportunity to swim with the sharks, yes live reef sharks, stingrays, tropical fish and more!
If you’re a fan of the water slides Blizzard Beach has the slide for you! Between Runoff Rapids and Summit Plummet, Blizzard Beach offers the king of all water park rides. If you’re looking to do some white water rafting Teamboat Springs offers a 1,200 foot ride accommodating up to 3 to 5 people.

Orlando stays warm year ‘round so bring your bathing suit and explore all the fun and sun you can on your next Florida vacation! Orlando offers more water thrills per square mile than just about any vacation destination so get the sunscreen and pick from the many water parks and water rides that are available here. Always on everyone’s favorites list are Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
Fashioned after a seaside resort became engulfed in a terrible typhoon, Typhoon Lagoon offers thrills and chills that make a one-piece bathing suit a must! Try Crushin’ Gusher – a water coaster that takes you 35 feet high and at speeds of 25 mph.
Blizzard Beach offers the tallest water slide in the U.S. amid a snowy, ice-clad water park sure to please any water slide fanatic. Typhoon Lagoon will be closed November through January for updating, so check Disney’s calendars before you go! Both parks offer kiddie pools for the younger set, wave pools, and lounge areas to just stretch out and relax!
