Disney's Blizzard Beach (Trip to Florida - Day Two)

.
Both my husband and I really love water sports. So our intention was to reserve a day from our vacation for Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. When we check to buy tickets we got to know that Typhoon lagoon was closed for refurbishments during our vacation. No worries!! We had another option, Disney's Blizzard Beach. Price per head was $45. The park is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It was around 9 a.m. when we get up that day. It took another two hours to make and have the breakfast and to get ready. It was about 12.00 noon when we arrive at Blizzard beach. Too bad, we could have had more fun if we arrived earlier. Anyway after getting dressed for water fun we rented a locker to keep our stuff safe. It is really a good idea to rent a locker (available at a cost around $8) if you are carrying valuable items like cameras, wallets, etc.

Then the real fun began. The very first adventure we tried was Slush Gusher, which is one of the hardest (seconds only to Summit Plummet). It was definitely a thrilling ride. We had to join another family for Team Boat Springs ride because minimum of four person required for the raft. We screamed all the way down just for fun:) Another thrilling item was Runoff Rapids.They provide three rides. Two of them are similar and for double riders. The other one is a tunnel ride for single riders. Yes, it is the best out of three. It was really scary to scroll down in the dark. There were many other fun rides to enjoy. Apart from rides there was a wavy bay to relax while floating. Actually a day is not enough for this fun.



I wish if they could do some improvements to the park. It was really tiresome to climb the mountain after each ride to get in another ride. There was this Chair Lift as a scenic transportation option but it doesn't cover all the riding areas. Some rides had automatic raft/tube lifting feature but still the riders have to climb the mountain by foot. It would have been really cool if they had provided an option like electronic stairs to reach the top for each ride. Anyway we really enjoyed the water sports in Blizzard Beach.

We bought dinner from an Indian restaurant as we had some stuffed sandwiches which were not that good for lunch from Blizzard beach. Our next day target was to cover other Disney parks as much as possible.
