Blizzard Beach Water Park Trip Planner

01. What is Disney Blizzard Beach Water Park?

The Disney Blizzard Beach Water Park is a water theme park owned by Disney. It’s open throughout the year with yearly maintenance closure during winter. This water park includes four sections: Green Slope, Purple Slope, Red Slope, and Ground level. Overall, the park has 12 attractions or rides, eight dining places, and two shopping spots.

02. Transportation

By car

If you’re going to Blizzard Beach Water Park, you have several transportation options for consideration. The most common is through driving. However, if you have your car, you can go directly to the park’s parking lot by taking the Magic Kingdom exit off I-4. You can follow the signs, and it will take you to Blizzard Beach.

It can be your advantage if you bring a car, especially if you have kids. Unlike the theme parks, Blizzard Beach Water Park and other water parks have free parking. Further, you can maximize your time, and you don’t need to wait for the bus schedule.

By Bus

If you’re coming from other Disney Parks, the best mode of transportation is through their complimentary bus service. In general, all Disney Resorts and Parks have a bus that offers free rides to Blizzard Beach.

Here are some important things to note if you’re riding a bus going to Blizzard Beach Water Park:

• This service is available directly from Coronado Springs Resort and All-Star Movies Resort.
• If you’re coming from other resort hotels, you need to ride a bus to Animal Kingdom and transfer to another bus to Blizzard Beach Water Park.
• This service starts 45 minutes before the park opens. You can get there early if you want to maximize your time at the water park.

By Uber

You can also get to Blizzard Beach Water Park through an Uber. If you plan on going to the water park with this transportation, you need to inform the parking attendant that you’re being dropped off. Afterward, they’ll instruct you on where the dropoff points are.

03. Entrance

Blizzard Beach Water Park entrance is a walk away from the parking lot and the dropoff point. If you’re riding a bus or an Uber, you’ll be dropped off at specific locations, which are also a walk away from the water park entrance.

04. Accessibility 

Those with restricted mobility can still access Blizzard Beach. Many of the water rides are accessible with the assistance of a family member or if you can transfer from your wheelchair. Several slides are close to chair lifts if you can only walk a short distance.

Even though most of the slides and attractions are wheelchair accessible, there are certain limits on the type of chair you may use! To have full access to the slides and transfer possibilities, you must use a specially built PVC water chair. When you arrive at the park, ask about Water Seats, and you will supply one of these PVC chairs to you. Each chair is watertight and may be wheeled directly into the water.

You may store regular chairs in cabanas. If you are concerned about security, carry a bike lock and fasten it to pillars or poles near where you put your belongings. Many park visitors have mobility equipment that has never been stolen, but it is best to label it with your name and contact information.

If you have a wheelchair, you can join your party in the disabled queue for the chair lift. Because the park only permits one person per Gondola, be sure everyone knows who you’re riding with! Whether your children come before or after you, cast members will attempt to keep your party together.

05. Navigating The Park & Maps

Park-goers can find their way around the water park with the help of the Blizzard Beach Water Park PDF map. Generally speaking, the park is divided into four sections: Green Slope, Purple Slope, Red Slope, and Ground Level.

A downloadable app called My Disney Experience is also available. With this app, you can check wait times in real-time while enjoying everything Blizzard Beach Water Park offers!
