Walt Disney World Water Parks
The Disney World Resort is home to two awesome water parks; the Blizzard Beach and the Typhoon Lagoon. Each of these theme parks is home to a variety of rides and attractions. Typhoon Lagoon is themed after a massive typhoon that wrecked the park, and Blizzard Beach is melting snow that fell in Florida after a freak snow storm. These two water parks are the perfect way to cool off while you are in the Sunshine State!

This water park ranks #2 in the
United States. Think of Florida, and the word "SNOW"
does not naturally come to mind. This whimsical water park is
built on the concept of a freak winter storm dropping snow over
the western side of Walt Disney World, just north of the All Star
Resorts. An immediate plan is made to open a ski resort. Things do
not go as planned, however, as temperatures soar and the ice and
snow rapidly melt. The ski resort is ready to close, until the
operators spot a playful alligator sliding down the "liquid
ice" slopes and realize that the melting snow is creating the
tallest and fastest water-filled ski and toboggan runs in the
world. From this concept, the ski resort/water park adventure was
born. More...

This 56-acre water park would most
likely be the choice of FISH if they could choose an amusement
park, as Typhoon Lagoon features some of the wettest and wildest
attractions at Walt Disney World. Before Blizzard Beach opened,
Typhoon Lagoon was the largest water park on property. It is still
immensely popular, with its twisting tides, roaring rapids,
wonderful waterways and relaxing rivers. Typhoon Lagoon also
features a special area where guests can snorkel among live sharks
and other tropical fish. Excluding the snorkeling area, all water
is heated to a toasty 75-80 degrees year-round. More...
