Disney’s Blizzard Beach
According to legend, a freak snowstorm suddenly hit Central Florida one day on western end of Walt Disney World property, and the ground was blanketed in powdery fresh snow. Disney immediately put into place plans for a ski resort. Chair lifts were built, toboggan runs implemented, and trails groomed. The resort looked picture perfect. Unfortunately, before the park could open temperatures soared and the snow melted. Disney’s new ski resort was doomed; however, the slush began to run down the mountainside, and water pooled at the bottom. A playful alligator took a body slide down the mountainside, splashing happily into the pool below. At that moment, a new plan was hatched, to create a water park from the already existing ski resort. Thus, the Blizzard Beach waterpark was born. The water parks at Disney are a great item to include in your Disney vacation…you want to select the water park fun and more option on the discount Disney tickets when you build your package.
