Waterpark help!

[Elandon]

We've never been to a disney waterpark before (we usually go in February) and want to add one to our trip the last week of August this year. I don't really know what to expect. Assuming we arrive at RD, how long do we need? And which park will be better for my DS6 about 50 inches tall and a moderate swimmer with little or no fear?

Thanks!

They are both great. We are locals and go often. My son is 7 and his favorite is Blizzard Beach so that is where we usually go. We get there at RD and stay 3-4 hours. It gets much busier in the afternoon, mornings are usually very nice crowd wise.

We've been to both and we prefer BB to TL. BB has a kids play area that is pretty cool and the slides seem to be a little longer/faster than the ones at TL (just my opinion), with one of our favorites being the family raft ride.

I like BB better "overall" but our favorite WP ride is Crushin' Gusher at TL. And at 50", your son is tall enough.

I have been to both. I really like blizzard beach the best.

Another vote for BB!

Typhoon lagoon has the better wave pool but Blizzard Beach on a whole is better

You guys are so awesome! I'll talk it over with DS but he was already asking about BB so I bet we will go there!
