Post Your- Disney Waterpark photos!

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?

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.

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!!!

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

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?

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!!!

Here are the few I have from TL this past May...

And my personal favorite...

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!

My boys at the bottom of the then new Crush N Gusher!

Part of the kiddie area at BB - there are iceburgs in the water and a rope cross - wish I was a kid again!

My son ate this entire bucket ice cream sundae! Figures he is the skinniest of all of us!

I love these pics. We're going to TL next month and I can't wait. I've just added a disposable waterproof camera to my list. BTW, where do you get those waterproof lanyards?

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.

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!

 

[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!
