Our guide to Walt Disney World Resort's Blizzard Beach

At Blizzard Beach, winter meets summer in the most whimsical way. Legend has it that a freak snowstorm turned Florida into a ski resort, but when the sun came out, the snow began to melt – and Disney’s most imaginative water park was born.

From daring descents on Mount Gushmore to lazy floats along Cross Country Creek, Blizzard Beach is a water wonderland where everyone, from the brave-hearted to the barely-get-wet, finds their perfect splash.

Best for: Water slide thrill-seekers, sun-soaking families, and fun-loving adventurers.

Not sure which splashy adventure to start with? Here are a few must-ride highlights that promise to keep the good times flowing.

We know finding fun that suits your whole crew can be tricky, especially when you're travelling with little ones. But Blizzard Beach is a park built for every splash style and age group.

Let your mini snow explorers make waves in Tike’s Peak, where slides and splash pads await. Families can float together down Cross Country Creek, a relaxing, lazy river that meanders through ice caves and drippy glaciers. And don’t miss Ski Patrol Training Camp, a splash zone where older kids can cross icebergs and zip line into the water.

At Blizzard Beach, the smallest swimmers are guaranteed some of the biggest smiles.

Who says only kids get to have all the fun? Blizzard Beach is bursting with high-octane thrills and grown-up giggles that make it just as much of a playground for adults.

Whether you’re daring enough to conquer the dizzying drop of Summit Plummet or prefer the fast-paced, twisty fun of Slush Gusher, there’s plenty to keep your adrenaline pumping. Up for a friendly challenge? Hit the Snow Stormers or Downhill Double Dipper for race-ready rides that bring out your competitive streak.

And when it’s time to relax, let the warm sun and cool waters of Melt-Away Bay, the wave pool, carry you to your bliss. It’s pure chill.
