Walt Disney World Resort never fails to amaze with its festive celebrations, and this year, Blizzard Beach is joining the lineup of magical holiday experiences. Known for its unique “melting ski resort” theme, this winter-themed water park brings the holiday cheer with seasonal offerings and surprises that will delight visitors of all ages.

Blizzard Beach’s Unique Attractions

Blizzard Beach stands out among water parks for its one-of-a-kind backstory and imaginative design. The park’s central feature, Mount Gushmore, is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, ski-themed attractions, and plenty of opportunities to make a splash.

Visitors can float along Cross Country Creek, the park’s lazy river, or enjoy the giant wave pool, Melt-Away Bay. Thrill-seekers can challenge themselves on Summit Plummet, one of the world’s tallest and fastest free-fall slides. For competitive fun, Toboggan Racers and Snow Stormers provide exciting race experiences for friends and families.

About Steven Wilk

Steven has a complicated relationship with Disney. As a child, he visited Walt Disney World every few years with his family. But he never understood why kids his age (and older) were so scared of Snow White or Alien Encounter. He is a former participant of the Disney College Program (left early…long story), and he also previously worked in Children’s publishing, where he adapted multiple Disney movies and TV shows. He has many controversial opinions about Disney…like having a positive view of Michael Eisner, believing Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, and that Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge should have never been built (at least not at Hollywood Studios). Every year for the past two decades, Steven has visited either Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani or went on a Disney Cruise. He’s happy to share any and all knowledge of the Disney destinations (and he likes using parenthesis a lot…as well as ellipses…)
