Welcome to the Coolest Place Under the Sun!
Grab your swimsuits and snow gear (well, maybe just the swimsuits)! Disney’s Blizzard Beach® Water Park turns a winter wonderland into a splashing good time. According to legend, a freak snowstorm once blanketed this tropical paradise. When the sun came out, the snow began to melt, leaving behind a ski resort that magically transformed into one of the most creative and exciting water parks in the world. Today, families from all over come to splash, laugh, and play in this “melting” mountain of fun.
Every corner is bursting with imagination and adventure. From snow-topped peaks and chair lifts to icy rivers and sandy beaches, it’s a place where sunshine and snowflakes live happily ever after.
Slip, Slide, & Shout for Joy!
The fun starts with splash-tastic thrills that keep the whole family smiling. Feel the rush of Summit Plummet, one of the world’s tallest and fastest free-fall slides, or soar down Slush Gusher for a smooth, speedy ride that delivers nonstop excitement. Compete for bragging rights on Toboggan Racers, where colorful mats and racing lanes make for friendly family fun.
For guests who prefer to drift instead of dash, Cross Country Creek offers a lazy float through melting snow tunnels, misty caves, and sparkling waterfalls. At Melt-Away Bay, gentle waves roll across a sparkling lagoon surrounded by sandy shores and big smiles. Each ride and splash adds its own sprinkle of magic to this frosty tropical escape.
Tasty Bites & Icy Delights
Splashing through a snow-themed paradise builds up an appetite! Take a break at Lottawatta Lodge for tasty burgers, flatbreads, and hearty wraps that hit the spot after a morning of play. Stop by I.C. Expeditions for cool treats like ice cream sundaes, frosty lemonades, or frozen slushies piled high with flavor. From quick snacks to refreshing drinks, every stop adds an extra scoop of happiness to the day.
Cool Fun for Little Snowflakes
Young adventurers have plenty to explore at Tike’s Peak, a whimsical mini mountain made just for kids. Pint-sized slides, playful fountains, and splash zones create endless giggles for tiny swimmers. Bigger kids can test their courage at Ski Patrol Training Camp, a snow-themed playground with floating icebergs, rope crossings, and splashy surprises that keep the energy high and the smiles wide.
