Summer is here! As families make their way to Walt Disney World for summer vacations, many guests will be looking for ways to keep cool. One of the best ways to beat the heat is to visit one of Disney\u2019s water parks!<\/p>\n

Walt Disney World offers guests two water park experiences: Typhoon Lagoon<\/a> and Blizzard Beach<\/a>. In true Disney fashion, each park is carefully and uniquely themed. Both feature water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, family raft rides, and a splash area for the younger guests.<\/p>\n

Typhoon Lagoon<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something for everyone at Typhoon Lagoon! Whether you are looking for body slides (no raft) or tube slides, you\u2019ll find both here.<\/p>\n

One of the park\u2019s most exciting attractions is the Crush N\u2019 Gusher water coaster. Wondering what a water coaster is exactly? Well, while most water slides simply propel riders toward the bottom, the Crush N\u2019 Gusher is equipped with powerful jets that not only send guests speeding downhill, but uphill too. Just like a roller coaster! Three different raft rides await guests who are wiling to take on this attraction. Which one will you choose?<\/p>\n

Miss Adventure Falls, one of Typhoon Lagoon\u2019s newest slides, is a ride that the family can enjoy together. The most daring water park guests can tackle Humunga Kowabunga, a 5-story drop in the dark, while the little ones will love splashing around in Ketchakiddee Creek. When you are ready for a break, grab a tube and float around the lazy river or catch a wave (a really, really big wave) in the Surf Pool.<\/p>\n

All that sliding and swimming can really work up a guest\u2019s appetite, but fear not, you will find plenty of lunch, snack, and drink options at Typhoon Lagoon. If you are looking for a yummy snack, here\u2019s my personal recommendation: grab an order of mini donuts and splurge for one of the delicious dipping sauces. So yummy!<\/p>\n

Blizzard Beach<\/h2>\n

What would happen if you built a ski resort in central Florida? It would melt, of course! So, there you have the story behind Blizzard Beach. The ski slopes have melted and become water slides. Now guests have the opportunity to enjoy this \u201cwinter\u201d ski resort all summer long!<\/p>\n

At Blizzard Beach, you can race your friends and family down the Toboggan Racer slides or the Downhill Dipper. Relax in the Cross Country Creek lazy river and let the kids play in Tike\u2019s Peak. Take the chairlift up to the top where you will find some of the more thrilling slides and an amazing view of the Disney property. If you thought Humunga Kowabunga at Typhoon Lagoon was big, wait until you slide down the 120-foot slope of Summit Plummet!<\/p>\n

Like Typhoon Lagoon, you will have no trouble finding something to eat or drink at Blizzard Beach. Those donuts I mentioned earlier? They are available here too!<\/p>\n
