Water Parks and babies?

[Miumiu4me]

My daughter will be one next summer. At what age do you think she could go to the water parks? We are starting swim lessons at 7 months. I know each of Disney's water parks has an area for young kids - how young is too young though?

Both Blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon have robust kid play areas.

My 2 crumb snatchers seemed to enjoy the one at Blizzard beach more.

Just realized I didn't answer your question. We took both kids before they were walking so you should be fine.

Did you take them on anything or did you stick to the baby area?

Great question! We're taking our grown kids who are bringing a1 & a 2 year old. We're planning on going to Typhoon Lagoon. It has more shaded areas and that was the deciding factor for us.

I'd have a one to one ratio of adult to baby and there are life vests for free.

I've moved this thread to the Disney for Families board.

We took my DS last year at 10 months and he loved the play areas at BB and TL. I don't think we would have bothered if we didn't have my older son. It wouldn't be worth it for just a toddler.

Last year we took our kids and did only water parks. Our 15 month old LOVED the kiddie areas but also really loved the lazy rivers. Also, we took him the water near the zip line at typhoon lagoon. We stayed away from the wave pool but had a great time for 7 days.

We took them on the lazy river in both parks and that was about it at that age.

They are a bit older now (5 & 3) so we let them tell us what they are up for riding.

We are local and have generally had passes to both parks - I just never checked out the baby areas before.

Come to think of it, I have see babies on the lazy river with life vests on. Thanks.

For my 1yr old last year we preferred the Blizzard Beach little kid area more. BB has a padded play area while the Typhoon Lagoon was hard concrete and she fell a lot

Agreed. They have more for the littlest swimmers to do too.

We took dd10 for her first birthday and spent a day at BB. She loved splashing around in the water. She did go in the lazy river and wave pool but nothing else. We swapped out who stayed with her and ds3.5 while the others did the slides.
