Things to see and do at Blizzard Beach

Disney's Blizzard Beach is one of two water parks within Walt Disney World Resort.

It features one of the world's tallest and fastest free-falling waterslides, as well as slides and rides for the whole family; like a kid-sized, snow-castle fountain play area with scaled-down versions of the more thrilling attractions.

We'll let Disney explain the story behind Blizzard Beach, which all began with a freak snow storm that blanketed Florida...

"Within the blink of a snowflake-tipped eye, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways.

Then, just as quickly, the weather shifted back to hot.

The whole resort started to melt...

An enterprising alligator saw an opportunity! Clad in a scarf and hat, this Ice Gator slid down the snow-less ski jump, shouting 'Yahoooo!' all the way.

With a big splash he landed in a pool of melted snow below the mountain. It was at this moment the slushy, slippery slopes became an exhilarating Water Park with a ski theme."

Disney recommend renting a locker for personal belongings, especially if you plan on experiencing the big thrill attractions as it may be difficult to keep track of hats, glasses etc while plunging down the high-speed and steep drops.

Disney also advise wearing water shoes or flip-flops while visitng, as you may choose to climb stairs to access certain attractions. Plus, the ground can get hot and so will your feet!
