If you’re looking for something “cool’’ to do this holiday season amid the sunshine at Walt Disney World Resort, then consider a visit to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park because the popular polar paradise reopens next month for the holiday season. And for the first time in forever, the water park will include touches from the popular Disney film “Frozen.”
When the water park swings open its gates on Nov. 13, there will be plenty of arctic adventures in the hot Florida sun, including water attractions for guests of all ages, frosty eats, and treats, and an atmosphere of glacial glee. As we like to say around here, there’s almost “snow” better place to spend your day at Walt Disney World than at the water park!
Here are nine of the best ways to chill out and enjoy Blizzard Beach’s return.
Frolic with “Frozen” friends at Tike’s Peak
A flurry of Frozen fun has come to Blizzard Beach and your young ones can enjoy them among the kid-sized thrills of Tike’s Peak.
