2-3 hours in Blizzard Beach - Enough?

[EugeneNY]

Greetings!

We are going to WDW this Friday for the weekend. We've been to all four parks before but have not been to a water park. This time I am planning to go to Blizzard Beach on Sat. morning for the first half of the day (and then do two major parks in the second half of the day). Is 2.5-3 hours enough to hit the main attractions in Blizzard Beach? Thanks in advance for your opinions/suggestions.

Kind regards,
Eugene

Depending on how crowded they are. It will probably be crowded if its hot and with it being saturday. The best time to go is when its raining. No lines at all and its still warm. You're already wet so its no big deal.

yea, if its busy, it will take a little bit longer then that. Remeber its faster to climb the stairs then to ride the chairlift (unless no one is in the chairlift line..)

also, the stairs to the left (by down hill dubble dipper) are the least steep, followed by the ones by ski patrol (just under the chair lift, to the right of SP) and the most steep is in the back (next to run off rapids, where u have to walk up with the tube)

It's probably enough time. But I have to say, when we go to those waterparks, we totally lose track of time - we have so much fun there. They are so awesome - especially when it's hot.

Get a map ahead of time and plan out your hours in BB . We always spend a whole day there but get the most done first thing in the morning before lunch.

I think you could make the most of it in 3 hours or so...

Get there about 15 minutes before opening and head straight for the "big" slides as soon as they let you in.

Also, the wait's not too long for the chairlift if you take the single rider line.

Have fun!

Thank you all for your responses; they are most helpful! I think I'll plan to be there for 3 hours and will then evaluate the situation
