possible to do TL and BB in same day?

[marriedmarylander]

Say 4 hours each ???

Yes you could (especially if you have a car because there is no direct transportation between the two) but remember that it would take 2 different admissions or 2 "pluses" (one for each park).

Just be at one at opening, and hit the other after lunch.

I suppose you could but unless you have a PAP you would be using 2 plus options or paying for admission to each park. Both parks have alot to offer but personally I would not waste my park admission or plus option on two water parks in the same day. Not to mention the time it will take to travel between the two while your ticket is "running".

I guess I just can't see any reason to do this?

What is PAP?

Yes I know I will use 2 pluses.

About how long does it take via Disney transportation between each?

A PAP is a Premium Annual Pass. It entitles you to unlimited admission to the Magic Kingdom; Epcot; Disney-MGM Studios; Disney's Animal Kingdom; Pleasure Island; Disney's Water Parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon; DisneyQuest, plus Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, as well as complimentary parking.

There is no direct bus between TL and BB. You have to take a bus from one water park to any nearby resort, then transfer at the resort to a bus to the other water park. If you're going to do both on the same day, you'd have a lot easier time if you had a car. Otherwise, you might find yourself wasting a lot of time at bus stops and on busses.

Sorry PAP is premium annual pass, allows admission to the theme parks and water parks for a year.

The transportation could take quite a long time as WDW does not offer a direct bus between TL and BB. Your best option would be to take the first resort bus you see from the first water park back to that resort and then catch the bus to the next water park from that resort.

Example, you start out at BB, take the bus to BB from your resort. When you are done with BB take the first resort bus you see. Lets say Coronado Springs comes first, take it back to Coronado Springs and then wait at the bus stop for the Typhoon Lagoon Bus. Take the TL bus to TL and then take the bus from TL back to your resort when you are done.

Again - check out the details and attractaions at each Water Park. Honestly I can't see anything that much different between the two parks that would make it worth my time and and an additional plus option, YMMV. Remember that during peak seasons, esp warm days and weekends the water parks can reach capacity by mid morning. If you leave you may very well not be admitted to the next waterpark or even back into the original park.

Sounds like fun if you're going when it's warm! Great way to compare the two parks, and you're already wet. I agree that transportation may be an issue though. Plan ahead!

You certainly could, but if either park is crowded, you probably would not get to do many of the rides. We were there during Jersey week and spent almost all day in lines. It was absolutely awful. You couldn't even move on the lazy river and there were no tubes. You just had to swim or float or whatever and there was no way to keep track of the kids. WAAAAAY too many people.


When were were there the week before Thanksgiving, it was great, but Blizzard Beach was closed for rehab. so you couldn't do both then. I certainly wouldn't try this on the weekend or during summer vacation. I would assume that the parks would be very crowded.

One thing to consider if you're going in the summer is the inevitable afternoon thunderstorms - those can play havoc with the water parks. Rain's no problem, but thunder and lightning are. We found lines to be quite manageable in the a.m. when the water parks open, but they built quickly and by noon it was jammed. If your schedule allows, you might consider hitting hitting the water parks in the a.m. on 2 different days....

We have PAPs and I don't think we'd do both waterparks in the same day- I think I would get waterlogged, or my hair would turn green from the chlorine

 

[marriedmarylander]

Thanks guys I think I have scratched that idea. With them closing at 6 that is too hectic... I'll do water park and regular park.

That is how we always do the parks. We usually go to Blizzard Beach first, then Typhoon Lagoon later on. That way we get to do both, but only use one day for it, going to the parks the rest of the time. Have fun!
