For day two out at the parks and one of the hottest we decided to head to the water park Blizzard Beach! I had never been there before, in fact I am not even sure it existed when I was there but it was a great day at the water park despite the fact that a few of us came home with some burns.
Blizzard Beach is a super cute water park. It is themed around a freak snow storm hitting and now everything has melted to create a fun water park. Here is the story from the website...
The story behind Disney's Blizzard Beach begins 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. What to do?
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.
Marc, David and I decided to head out early and get there for opening, which turned out to be awesome. We got there as the park was opening, before the ground was so hot we had to sprint from one shade area to another and managed to claim enough beach chairs for everyone at the wave pool and ride all the rides without waiting in any lines.
Later everyone else joined us and the fun continued with lots of races down the slides. And the brave kids even went down the ridiculous straight drop slide, I was not one of the brave kids :)
We ended the day with a relaxing float around the park on the lazy river creating a Guillemette family train of tubes and then we topped it off by sharing an amazing ice cream sundae overflowing from a pail. Cute and delicious!
Up next, MAGIC KINGDOM!!!
