Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach?

[Iron Wolf 90-11]

I will be making a trip down to Florida in about 2 weeks for spring break. In the time down there, we are going to probably hit one of the Disney World waterparks. That being said, I have never been to either of the Disney World waterparks. So my question is Typhoon Lagoon or Bilzzard Beach the better Disney World Waterpark?

typhoon lagoon. I had the same dilemma you have. Glad I chose typhoon lagoon. Its very nice. And you wont see a wave pool like this anywhere else. The slides at Blizzard beach are pretty common amongst other water parks.

Typhoon-Most relaxing. Better "resort-like" ambiance and atmosphere. Best Wavepool. Less Stairs.

 

Blizzard-Best theming, Much better slides in comparison to Typhoon, more slides, quality lazy river. Shade lacking on the mountain.

 

Aquatica- Most modern and well-rounded waterpark in Orlando, best single attraction "Roa's Rapids." Banana Beach cookout a quality quick service deal.

 

Wet N Wild: Best slides overall. Mediocre atmosphere.

Typhoon Lagoon! It is a very peaceful atmosphere. I'd get to this park before the opening and head to Crush N Gusher. Hit all three of those quickly and then go to the Shark Tank! VERY AWESOME EXPERIENCE to snorkel at a water park and feels so natural. Then head over to Humungakowabunga. After that go back through the entrance to Humungakowabunga and before you climb the final staircase to the top of Humungakowabunga, head to the pathway to the left and take that pathway over to the Family Raft slide. After doing that you can hit the two single tube slides. After that go back over to the other side and do the 3 body slides. I usually get all of these slides done in an hour or so if I follow that plan. Then I have the rest of the day to relax!!!

Water Mania!!!!!!

 

I'd pick Blizzard Beach. The water slide collection is way better and the theming is spectacular. But if you want some top of the line slides, go to wet n' wild.

Blizzard Beach. Great theming, great slides, nice park all around.

And if you're really into concrete, go to Wet 'n' Wild.

 

I kid--Wet 'n' Wild is a very good water park, but Blizzard Beach is more pleasant overall.

Blizzard Beach IMO. Better slides and better theming. But if your looking for more of a resort experience, you would probably enjoy Typhoon Lagoon more.

Plenty others have said it best. Both have their strong suits, it all depends on what you're looking for. Also, know that the water at Blizzard is kept a bit cooler than normal (I think it's usually around 65 Degrees, someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

 

Additionally, I recall hearing something about being able to "park hop" between the two. In that case, DO BOTH! If you do go to both, I would recommend Blizzard first as the line for Summit Plummet can get pretty lengthy early as opposed to Crush n Gusher at Typhoon.

^65 degrees would carry an outside risk of causing hypothermia, i don't think the water is quite that cold. The shark reef at typhoon might approach that temperature though, that one is probably between 65 and 70 degrees.

[bbomser]

^ Maybe it's 75 degrees, or something similar. But yea, not 65, no clue what I was thinking. But I do remember that it is usually colder than Typhoon Water to simulate the "Melted Ski Resort" feeling.

Blizzard beach for me, Typhoon Lagoon is great and all that but I just like a straightforward waterpark
