Disney's Blizzard Beach
Where else can you find a ski resort melting into a water park? Snow-capped peaks, thrilling slides, and Florida sun all just 15–20 minutes from your villa.
Slippery Slopes and Icy Fun in the Sun
Blizzard Beach is a whimsical water wonderland where snow meets splash. Face the world's tallest free-fall body slide on Summit Plummet, or step down to Slush Gusher for major thrills with a little less vertigo. Race side-by-side on Downhill Double Dipper, ride one of the longest family raft rides in the world on Teamboat Springs, or tube your way down Runoff Rapids.
For the little ones, Tike's Peak offers mini slides and fountains in a snowy toddler-friendly play area. Melt-Away Bay is a large wave pool perfect for floating, and Cross Country Creek is a snow-themed lazy river that drifts you around the entire park. Hop on the Chairlift for scenic views and easy access to the top of Mount Gushmore.

Tips for Your Blizzard Day
Summit Plummet first. Head there early to avoid long waits — it's the park's biggest draw and lines build fast after mid-morning.
Use water shoes or flip-flops. The "snow" isn't cold — just Florida hot! Protect your feet on the pavement between rides.
Don't forget sunscreen. Even snow-themed parks need serious sun protection. Reapply often, especially after water rides.
Locker rentals and towels available. Keep your valuables safe while you splash. Towels are available to rent, or bring your own to save a few dollars.
Arrive early for shade. Lounge chairs and umbrellas go fast on busy days. Claim your spot before hitting the slides.
