A couple of Blizzard Beach questions

[Tonberry]

First question, how would I get to Blizzard Beach from the Riviera? Do they have a direct bus or would we need to transfer somewhere?
I might as well ask how we get back from BB too.

Second, are the Polar Patios open? We're going in August and my son can't tolerate heat that well, so we figured a nice shaded place to rest comfortably would be a life saver.

Polar patios are open, you need to call to reserve. And to get there, I think the only buses to BB are from AK or CSR. I assume same route to return.

From Riv, to get to BB you take the bus to DAK and then transfer to a bus to BB. Same in reverse.

CSR and ASMovies have direct buses to BB, but the rest of the resorts require a transfer at DAK.

Also, I’d make sure to book the Patio at your 60+ day mark just to be safe.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to the both of you, that's exactly what I was looking for !

What are Polar Patios?

Separated areas with seating, lock box and cooler with water and either a cabana or umbrella.

If I purchase Memory Maker for an upcoming July trip, are there currently Photo Pass photographers and/or ride photos at Blizzard Beach making my 2 day hopper plus worth getting MM for instead of just 2 single days?
