Themed upon the melted remains of a winter ski resort the landscaping in Blizzard Beach in Walt Disney World Florida is distinguished by its attention to detail. There are some huge, high and mighty waterslides along with a wave pool and more sedate swimming area and in fact there are more slides than at Typhoon Lagoon. You will find slides to suit just about everyone including the free fall at 60mph down the 120ft high Summit Plummet!

Note, generally the higher the minimum height restriction the rougher the ride!

At present the water park participates in Disney's Extra Magic Hours but it is normally open daily from 10am till 5 pm.  An admission fee is charged.

Located near Animal Kingdom adjacent to Disney's Winter Summerland miniature golf course transport to Blizzard Beach is available from all WDW resorts and by Disney Bus.
