I would like to thank this community for the information on this DVC Platinum Plus deal. We bought our PAPs before the deadline, activated on a June 2018 trip, and used them again October. For the October trip we visited both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. We had so much fun! We never would have considered going to the water parks if it wasn’t “free” and now we are absolutely in love with Typhoon Lagoon! Blizzard Beach was great too but we only went for a couple of hours....spent almost a whole day at TL the last day of our trip. Such a great deal!! And we knew about it because of Disboards.
We have enjoyed Blizzard Beach many times this year because of the special! I hate to think about just how much it would cost to renew these passes!
We love having the platinum plus AP for the access to the water parks. Because we are on the school calendar, we have to take two steamy hot summer trips on one pass. We love that we can spend at least one day at the water park. For a real guilty pleasure, I would highly recommend renting a Beachcomer Shack at TL. We have rented one the last few times and it's great to have a private, covered space to spread out and relax. Chilling in the cabana has become one of our favorite things about our annual summer trips! They are considered a safe place to take cover during the mid-day thunderstorms, so we just ride out the storm in the shack while droves of people leave the park. Then it stops raining and we have shorter lines in the late afternoon! The Polar Patios at BB are nice, but they don't have the solid roof, so they are not safe when there is lightening. We're definitely bigger fans of TL than BB.
