How To Spend a Weekend At Disney's Blizzard Beach

Introduction

If you enjoy going to water parks, Disney's Blizzard Beach is a must see. Whether you live in Florida or are planning a vacation to the area, you may want to spend a weekend at the Blizzard Beach Water Park. Walt Disney World is home to four theme parks and two water parks that are fun for the whole family. Out of the two water parks that are on-site, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, Blizzard Beach is the most popular. The theme of this water park is as if there was a major snow storm in Florida and Disney built a ski resort. When the snow started to melt, the ski lifts and slopes became massive water slides and attractions.

Step 1

If you are planning to spend the weekend at Disney's Blizzard Beach, you will need to find accommodations to stay at during your mini-vacation. Right on Disney property, there are tons of different resorts for you to choose from. Depending on your budget, you can stay at value resorts, moderate resorts, deluxe resorts, and deluxe villas. You can see all of the Disney resorts at the Disney World website, by going to DisneyWorld.com. The closest Disney resorts to Blizzard Beach include the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Coronado Springs, and All-Star hotels. If you only plan on visiting Blizzard Beach during your stay, it is ideal to stay at one of these resorts.

Step 2

You can book a Disney World resort stay near Blizzard Beach at the Disney World website. Simply click on the tickets and packages link and then click to book room only. You can choose the weekend for your check-in and check-out days and the amount of guests, including adults and children. You will then be provided with room quotes that match your criteria.

Step 3

To enjoy Blizzard Beach, you will also have to purchase park tickets for your family. You can either purchase your ticket to Blizzard Beach at the park gates, or online. To buy a ticket online, you will have to purchase a Magic Your Way base ticket for the two day weekend and add on the water park fun and more option. To visit Blizzard Beach, there is an extra fee to enjoy the Disney water parks.

Step 4

Plan your Blizzard Beach visit according to the water attractions that you would most like to experience. If you are going to Disney's Blizzard Beach during the summer, the park can fill up pretty quickly. Check out the major attractions like Mount Gushmore and Summit Plummet first, as the lines for these water rides can get very long. Mount Gushmore has an elevation of 90 feet and has three different colored slopes that will lead you to different attractions.

Step 5

There are quick service food options inside Disney's Blizzard Beach, but if you are looking for finer dining during your weekend stay at the Disney World Resort, visit Downtown Disney. Downtown Disney can be accessed by the Disney bus system and is home to many delicious restaurants and shopping options.

Tips

Before planning a weekend trip to Blizzard Beach, check to ensure that the park is open and operating on normal hours. This park is closed during the colder seasons.
