Water Parks?

[Lou]

Going to Disney for the first time in the summer, kids want to do a water park. Just wanted to know which water is best for 14 and 16 year olds.

Hi, I think it depends on their daring. I think Blizzard Beach had more "thrill" type water rides. Which is why my DH likes it better. But some like the slightly tamer water slides at Typhoon Lagoon. Just my opinion though!

We prefer TL, although it is biased. We have never been to BB. I have heard that it is better for teens, we have a 3 year old and love the kiddie area at TL.

BB is way better for teens.

BB for teens and the family raft ride Teamboat Springs is a lot of fun for all.

We first thought BB was the only park, but my DW and kids and myself have fallen in love with TL. Its much nicer and much more fun than we ever thought and sure love much more than we ever thought we would.

You really cant go wrong with either

Here is a little advice for you from someone that has gone many times.

Get there on time, right at 9:00am. The best times to get the most out of the park is the first two hours of the day. The waters parks have been especially crowded this summer. Every chair will be taken by about 1:00-2:00pm. Get there early and put your towels on the chairs you want to keep and then go off and have fun.

I love both parks, but I think BB will be better for the teens. BB has more slides and they're more thrilling... not that TL doesn't have thrilling slides...

However, TL has that awesome wave pool that they might like...

I don't think I've been much help... sorry... either park will be great and I assure you they'll have a great time no matter which one you choose.

Read about them in www.wdwinfo.com (by the same people who do these boards). They have a lot of info and will probably help you make a decision.

I have been to both parks several times, I think BB is better.

My 14 & 12 year old nieces love the slides at Blizzard Beach

My 2 oldest 16 and 14 like TL better. My 14 yr old enjoys the wave pool and the shark snorkel area best.
My 16 really likes the wave pool. They love the big waves.

I can't believe that there is an exact tie 17 to 17. I guess that means that they are both equally great?

In 1998 my daughters were 14 and 17. They prefered Blizzard Beach because they love the slides. There are so many types at Blizzard Beach. If a wave pool is prefered then Typhoon Lagoon is far better. I personally love Typhoon Lagoon best but Im not 17 either. lol

We have only have been to Typhoon Lagoon and love it so that is what I voted for.

BB is the larger park and has more Thrill slides and more tamer slides that TL.



15 DS loves BB and hates TL. I doubt we will ever return to TL. It was way too boring. BB has much more to do for everyone from the toddlers on up to thrill seaking teens, to tamer seeking adults.
