I've never been to Disney's water parks.

I've seen a lot of cool photos on DisBoards but not any waterpark photos?

Could we start a thread? I'd love to see what I'm missing ?:cheer2:

another photo... Blizzard Beach (not my photo, but very nice work!)

I'd rather see real people photos, than the pro's shots on the offical Disney brochures.

Hi
Keep them comingthose are really gooddid most of you took those with a waterproof camera ?
I was thinking about using a waterproof disposable camera anyone use those ?
Are they any good?
thanks !

[mjhd]

I would love to see more pics too! Can't wait until we go. On the subject of waterproof cameras, I bought 2 (27 exp each). We will be at the waterparks 3 days - do you think 2 is enough? Thanks.

If DW ever sees this, I'll be in trouble, but this set of pictures cracks me up, and since it's on-topic, I had to share...


Here we arrive at Typhoon Lagoon nice and early, we have our pick of chairs.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day9499-1.jpg

Next DW heads out into the surprisingly calm wave pool...
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day9525.jpg

Suddenly something catches her attention...
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day9526.jpg
(note, DD catches sight of the rising wave, and starts to exit left.)

Boy, whatever has her attention must be fascinating...the wave's getting closer and she's oblivious to it. You probably know where this is going.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day9527.jpg



Still not paying attention..DD has picked up pace, but still hasn't told Mom about the pending wave.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day9528-1.jpg


The wave hits...
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day9529-1.jpg
(I love this photo. I get hit in the arm everytime I show it to people)


What a loving family. DD watched and didn't warn, I just stood by our chairs and captured it all on camera.

[Donold_Fan]

Just to be fair....here's a photo of me in the lazy river.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day8117.jpg

Serious water displacement at the bottom of Humunga Cowabunga. I'm on the right and the little splash in the middle slide is DD.

Here's some from Blizzard Beach

The Blizzard Beach wave pool isn't as large and doesn't have the large cycling wave, but they let you take tubes into the wave pool there.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day8074.jpg

Ski lift to Summit Plummit
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day8098.jpg

I don't know who this person is, but they provide a head's up for summit plummit.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day8099.jpg

Notice as he stands up, he needs to extracate the swimsuit....
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day8100.jpg

Finally here's the toboggan slide.
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/blhamon/Disney2006-Day8109.jpg


Most of these were taken from dry land. The ones in the lazy river, I was very careful with my digital. I bought one of the larger waterproof containers and transformed into a case for my little digital. It's a canon elph (Sd600), so it's pretty small. For our upcoming trip I got a waterproof case for it, so I should have some better photos.

Thanks so much for the awesome pics
Kerri

[Donold_Fan]

Thanks for the nice words. She saw it and I've been hit 3 times already.

Kerri...It is a Mickey swimsuit. She got it on clearance from DisneyShopping . com just before we left for our trip. That was our Sept. 2006 trip. She liked it very much and now has 2 more styles from there.

[Lizzy Lemon]

Great photos, its nice to see some 'real ones'. The ones of your wife are brilliant, I bet she'll pay a bit more attention to when the wave is coming next time! My boys are so looking forward to going, I just hope they don't expect me to go on Summit Plummit. DH has bought a waterproof housing for his digital camera. We have just been to Devon on our holidays and he tried it out in the sea but it was a bit murky, so looking forward to trying it out at Disney.

[Markstudy]

Thanks Donold Fan,

Great photos! :banana:

These are from my digital camera. I took tons with underwater cameras but have yet to put them thru the scanner some are very funny.
We love typhoon lagoon. We wont be going back to Blizzard beach until hes much older and can swim better.

[Donold_Fan]

I too think Typhoon Lagoon is better, It has a wider variety of things and seems more relaxing to me. We enjoy both, but when we go in 38 days (yippee!!) we have 3 water park days planned and 2 of those will be Typhoon Lagoon.

[Dictator]

Which is better? Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach :confused3

I prefer blizzard beach. The starting point for a lot of the rides are semi-centralized. TL is more spread out. But it does have the crushin'gusher which is a really fun ride.

Thanks for the help.

Is Blizzard Beach more about thrill slides?

And TL is more about relaxing with fewer big rides?


Do the parks have an equal number of water slides? Is Blizzard Beach the park with the tallest or fastest ride?

[Donold_Fan]

I think TL is more relaxing.

Blizzard Beacj has the tallest/fastest ride, that being Summit Plummit. But Typhoon Lagoon has a comperable slide, it's just not as tall. I think the general consensus is that BB is more about the thrill rides, but TL has it's share of those as well.

One thing TL has that BB doesn't is the CrushNGusher. It's a waterslide rollercoaster. You actually go uphill in spots.

TL's wave pool accomodates a lot more people than BB, so I think BB is definitely more of a slide place.

Another difference is that at BB you don't carry your tubes/mats up with you, where at Typhoon you do. It's not a big deal, but I've overheard people complain about it.

[Twilight Terror]

Yeah, it can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes, esp when you're trying to cart the big round tube up the steps and you're only 5ft 1!!! :rotfl:

I used to think I would hate TL and would always love BB because I LOVE water slides! The first year we went to Orlando, we went to Wet 'n' Wild, and I had to ride most rides by myself while my mum and sister sat by the pool and sunbathed/went in the wave pool.

However, last trip we took our first trip to TL, and while the rides are slower and more leisurely, I actually preferred the park because it my mum and sister were riding the slides with me, rather than me running around on my own. So it definitely has a better 'family' feel to it because there is stuff for everyone to do. The wave pool at TL is just THE BEST as well!!!

We have several days at each of the parks planned this year, and I have persuaded my mum to try and attempt Summit Plummet with me! We were going to do it last year, but were at the park at the end of the day, and by the time we got into the chairlift queue, having worked up the courage, they closed it for the night :(

[quiltymom]

Thanks for posting all of the photos. We're going to TL this coming trip, and we all are very excited about it!

DH has bought a waterproof housing for his digital camera.I'm in UK too. Where can you get waterproof housings for digital cameras please?

[Lizzy Lemon]

I'm in UK too. Where can you get waterproof housings for digital cameras please?

It was over the internet, I'll try and find the paperwork out for you and get the address. By the way it worked brilliantly in Devon!!!

That would be great - thanks in advance!!!

I hope to bring back many wonderful pictures. =]

[Gerweniel]

These were from an early entry day at TL December 2005- it was incredible. We LOVE the water parks! Some of our best Disney memories are from them! I find it so awesome to be able to kick back in a lounge chair, while my sons are having the time of their lives. We go on some of the family rides together, then I let them go off on their own - which they enjoy. Then we can go on the lazy river together or whatever!

You can purchase them at either of the water parks. I picked up another one this week on clearance at our local Eddie Bauer. I've also seen them at Linen's and Things.

[Disney's Fab 4]

:thumbsup2 These pictures are terrific!!!! I love them!!!! Donold Fan I especially love the ones on page 1 when the wife gets the wave!!! cracked me up:rotfl2: The hubby reminds me of mine!!! PrincessV I also love the tropical cocktail picture, makes me think of vacation!!!!! And I must say the drink posed so well and smiled nicely for the camera!:lmao:

[Smile4Me]

I haven't been to either of the waterparks but am planning on it for my upcoming visit. They look like so much fun, thanks for the pictures! Quick question: there is rain in the forecast for next week, will the waterparks still be a lot of fun if its overcast and sprinkling?

[Battousai]

This definitely needs a bump because I would love to see others share their water park pics! :yay:

[schimj]

Hi all

here are some of our pictures from TL on our most recent trip, in Sept...we haven't made it to BB yet, and seeing as our next trip is in 13 days (can't wait!!!!), we probably won't be making it there this time.

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh296/schimj/Disney2007Disc4023.jpg
That is a shark from the 'swimming with the sharks' that my DF snapped with a standard waterproof camera

This one is from Crushin' Gusher as we were spit out, taken by the Photopass people

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh296/schimj/image462.jpg
And this one is from our splashdown at Crushin' Gusher, taken by the same Photopass person

[diberry]

could anyone advise me on how to insert the image into the post, and not just posting a link? thanks for any help!

put {img} in front of the link and {/img} after the link but use square brackets instead of curly ones.

[schimj]

put {img} in front of the link and {/img} after the link but use square brackets instead of curly ones.

Thanks alot! I must have been playing around with that for 20 minutes trying to get the pics to post, but my knowlege of html coding left me long ago :)

[Battousai]

Nice pics!

Yeah, the last day BB is opened before rehab is Jan 5. At least TL opens on the 6th and I will be there to run at the wave pool with arms wide open. I missed it! :beach: I will be hitting BB before it closes, and I'll be sure to take pics of both.

Do you think you might be going back to TL though?

[storzo]

I just figured out how to post pics today, so I will bump this thread with this...

I prefer Blizzard beach and have tons of those at home. But that was before I went Digital.

These are all from Typhoon - with those waterproof disposable cameras:

I highly reccomend getting yourself one of these disposable waterproof camera's. Theyre a lot of fun, and then youre able to take pics anywhere - including underwater! :thumbsup2 And no WORRY about your expensive digital.
