Day4: Blizzard Beach
I was a water slide virgin. Never had I tried any of this new wave of waterparks that are springing up all over. "Typhoon Lagoon" was closed for "re-imagineering" so we were off to Blizzard Beach, the water park that mythically formed from a freak Florida blizzard that turns from ski chalet to wet-n-wild.
Start with the lazy river before working your way up to the "Slush Gusher" or "Summit Plummet" - a 120' near vertical drop. Since I was a "rookie," I stuck with tubes and mats, thinking it was easier on my body. The next day, I realized how much of a workout you get climbing all those stairs!
I must say, Blizzard Beach was my favorite day at Disney; maybe because it was a "Katie and me" thing, maybe because it was such a good way to workout while having fun, probably because all that sunshine gave me a "high" after a mostly cloudy Oct-Nov!
