I have mixed feelings as I write this review. As of late I can't help but think Disney in general has lost some of its magic. The prices seem ridiculously high, the service is up and down, and it can feel boring because the seldom add attractions when compared with some of their competitors. However I do really enjoy the Disney waterparks. They are never as overcrowded as some of the competitors water parks, they have rides for everyone and so as I said I am torn. My most recent visit I was happy that the park seemed to be doing a good job of keeping guest safe by having social distancing. There were a few times where people were a bit crowded but more the exception than the rule. I also was happy that as you enter the bathrooms they had people put on mask as consistent with CDC guidelines recommending you wear mask in doors. I am happy they seem to be staying up to date on the latest COVID recommendations which makes me feel safe to visit the park, but do admit some of that old Disney charm is missing. Please add some attractions and give the water parks and theme parks the tlc they deserve. Also get back to that old Disney service that made the company so great to visit.

Horrible customer service! We spent hours on hours setting up our Disney trip. When we get to blizzard beach, our group of 21, was told our reservation was not set up properly but what they can do is charge us all $25 more per person to get in. So, we spent hours to get this all set up, Disney messed it up and the resolution was to charge us more. The first I went to Disney, 10 years ago, I walked away saying best service ever. Now they are junk just like any other company. I would highly recommend universal as they still know what customer service is.

Blizzard Beach is the only Disney water park that is open (Typhoon Lagoon is still closed). We came here for the day and booked a "private patio". While this is expensive (USD$360 + tax, for an off-season slow day), we definitely enjoyed the perks it offered. We had our own private seating area with umbrella, towels, locker, cooler with ice, complimentary unlimited bottled water and complimentary refillable mugs for soft drinks all day long. We had a great attendant, Erik, who would pick up food orders that we placed using mobile order, as well as get us cocktails/drinks from the bar. The patio could seat up to 6 people, so if you're splitting the cost amongst a group of friends, the cost isn't that extravagant. It was a fairly quiet day at the park, so the lines for most of the slides were quite short. We got to go on everything that we wanted without waiting more than 5 minutes.

Absolutely gutted to score Disney so low!
We visited on the first day it reopened in November (13th nov by memory).
Disney stated it had previously been closed for refurbishment but judging from the lack of cleanliness, I don’t understand how this was the case? The truth is, staff from typhoon lagoon have been shipped over to blizzard beach because that had now closed and Disney were only operating one water park at a time.
We arrived early and the park was late opening.
The members of staff dealing with the upgraded beach loungers didn’t know what the prices were.
The coffee and donut hut was late opening (the member of staff was very rude as well!) and everything appeared to be a last minute rush of confusion!
The towels were stained, the park wasn’t clean and rides were closed with no reason why! It is worth mentioning later in the day the rides opened.
Believe me when I say this review is painful to write because I consider myself a Disney super fan but I left blizzard beach totally underwhelmed from the previous years I’ve visited. It was as if the magic had been switched off and opening the park was a formality with no care taken into consideration.
We actually extended our Disney stay to visit this water park and I left really upset and underwhelmed. No Disney magic… nothing!

We enjoyed our time at Blizzard Beach. I hadn't been since I was a child, so it was nice to see it as an adult. We went on Wednesday with pretty average crowd levels I would assume. Here is a quick overview of our experience on a few key features:
Attractions: We rode most of the waterslides in the park. We especially enjoyed the mat slides. It was fun to take the chair lift up to the slides! I will say that the "Slush Gusher" body slide was not suited to anyone above 200 pounds. It was uncomfortably fast at that weight. The ride wait times were varied with some slides being a walk-on and some like the family raft ride being over 30 minutes in the hot sun. I would say the park could use a few more larger family attractions to meet demand.
Food and Drink: On this topic, I would say the drinks far outweighed the food. The drinks were fun and refreshing, but the food was below average Disney quality. This may have been our error for going to an auxiliary food stand ("The Warming Hut") and not to the main quick-service restaurant. We had churros and loaded tater tots. They were just okay.
Environment: The beach area and wave pool were nice. Not too crowded but certainly not empty. Some of the areas could use an update, but it seems like the park has been well maintained since the late 90s. There were a lot of cute theming details that I appreciated. I definitely think they should bring back Ice Gator as their mascot.
Merchandise: We left with a towel and a tank top. The merchandise was mostly standard Disney stuff and not a lot of Blizzard Beach branded items. I really think they are downplaying this property for some reason. I want a "Joe Blow Snow Co." T-shirt! I hope they continue to update it since this the only Disney waterpark that is open right now.

We purchased tickets for our family of 9 for Blizzard Beach. We had always went to Typhoon Lagoon. This was our first visit. We also purchased the Polar Ice Patio for our family as well. We were all wonderfully pleased by our day. We had Ashlee as our attendant for the Patio. It was AMAZING service. She was the perfect host all day long. She took care of all of our questions regarding the rides and the food and the drinks. She took our orders and delivered perfectly everything we needed for the day. We were so pleased to have her as our host. The food we had at the patio was amazing. We had the chicken rice bowls as well as the pizzas. The kids loved their pizza and the adults enjoyed the vegetables and chicken. It was delicious, served hot and when we requested they be delivered. The drinks were served cold and refilled many times throughout the day. We felt like we were given full attention and for the price we paid for the patio, it was well worth the price. Difficult to find in these days and especially at Disney. We were all pleased! Thank you Disney and especially to Ashlee for giving us a day for our family for the memory book.

Theming and layout are outstanding. Very clean and staff is helpful. Amenities are plentiful from lockers, showers, towels, drinks, etc. Food is lackluster by Disney standards and still too expensive however park is only open for 6-7 hours so not a huge deal.

I would say this is a classic old fashioned water park. My family liked it better than Universal’s Volcano Bay. This is old school in the sense that you likely carry your raft to the top or partial way. We barely waited to get onto anything enabling us to ride multiple times whatever we wanted. What I loved about the lazy river are all the exit points around the park. We also reserved a cabana which was quite nice. Let me warn you though, the storage at the cabana is a little nook; big enough for perhaps keys, cell phones and perhaps a wallet. I would say the cabana was indeed worth it for us. Chairs were comfortable and our attendant, Laura was fantastic even though we didn’t ask her for anything. This was our first trip and likely not our last! We now want to try Typhoon Lagoon! By far, worth it. One add regarding the ice cream “Sand Pail”. Please note it’s soft serve ice cream which melted faster than we could eat it. So can’t say I would order it again. This concept would work far better with scooped ice cream perhaps.

My kids love water rides and the best ones are at Blizzard Beach!
Managed to get a visit in before the recent closure. Covid measures were adhered to and the park was very clean and sanitized. The locker area and toilets looked newly refurbished. We did not realize that there is now a charge for towels. Ok it is only $2 per towel but the towels are super small and thin so really need 2 to cover your lounger. I would recommend you take your own if visiting. Nice though that this park does not charge the $25 parking fees like all the other ones do, it is free.

We love a water park is the first thing i want to say here. This one is great in many ways but it does feel a little old for some reason. The slides are good and the queues were small, maybe because it was a little cold for the locals. The 2 big slides really took my breath away and i felt the aftermath of them for a while. My son 6 year son loved the childrens area and the big slides that he could go on.
Food was not brilliant but it never is in Disney quick eats.

Yes! I have seen some elderly and autistic (like me) guests in there. It's not for people who are sick!
Hello,
We plan on going in June, but I was wondering since this is located in Disney park do you also pay for the theme park? Or is it just for the water park? Also Do you provide private sections for bigger families? Thank you

You may have gotten an answer by now. Water park tickets are separate from regular theme park tickets. If you do decide to visit more than once, you can upgrade your ticket to include waterpark plus more options, it ends up being a bit less.
They do offer private cabana areas at a hefty fee though, you can also rent umbrellas, or just go early to get a larger section of chairs. I recommend bringing towels you don't care about to save chairs.

Blizzard Beach is currently closed, but Typhoon Lagoon is open. That’s what the sign said yesterday when we went by the 2 water parks.

Feb/ March weather! Hi I’ve been to blizzard beach many times but have always visited in the summer months. Does it tend to be warm enough end Feb/ beginning of March time? Thanks!

Normally it is warm enough. With this winter setting in will have to watch the Weather Channel to be sure you are in the 70s at least. I would say yes but watch for dip in the jet stream prior to you trip.
Hi, can i change clothes in the park? where do i leave my stuff when I come in?
