Word to the wise: keep an eye on your magic band in the wave pools. Mine got knocked off and I didn’t realize it was gone till I went to leave the pool. Thankfully the cast members were really understanding in helping me sync up a new one when I got back to the resort.
Same my mum was like we will be going to Orlando in summer this year Karl and we were all like yay and then 💥 corona a week later is like nah it’s time to shut Disney so yeh depending on what happens until mid June I won’t be going in August 😔 luckily my mum didn’t book anything
I LOVE the typhoon lagoon wave pool and I could spend hours and hours just sitting in that wave pool. However, I also love the thrills such as Summit Plummet and the other tall slides at Blizzard Beach. If only we could have the best of both worlds and switch the pools around.
@@EightThreeEight we can’t lie something about everyone crowding on tubes and the fast-paced waves make that pool thrilling in a whole different way than typhoon’s
I feel like Typhoon Lagoon is more my speed. I want my lazy river to be Lazy. Lol. The rides are more low key plus there is less likely that kids will be there so TL it is
Good call--Typhoon Lagoon is my personal favorite as well! I completely agree on the lazy river, and I love the overall vibe of the park. Plus, it has a lot of areas to relax away from large crowds. I will note though, it is still a Disney park so there will always be kids. There are just likely not as many as there are at Blizzard Beach (at least in my experience). I hope that helps! Thank you for watching, and we hope you get to enjoy TL soon!
My favorite Typhoon Lagoon story is the time when my friends and I sat in the shallows when the bigger waves came along. We didn’t anticipate the power of the wave, and we also didn’t think about the roughness of the flooring. We were pretty young, so we were fairly light, and we were all tumbled around and scraped against the floor. I got the worst of it, and I have permanent scars on both of my elbows. Best trip ever!
Sadly, I was suppose to be leaving for Orlando tomorrow morning at 6:00 am, and the first thing I was going to do when we arrived was head to Blizzard Beach, and then Typhoon Lagoon on day 4. But I don't have to tell you all why that ain't happening now. So I am rebooked to October. Fingers crossed I still get to do both water parks in the fall....
@Anthonie White they extended my Disney tickets to choose any future dates, but if the date I chose cost more, then I pay the difference. That part I don't agree with, but eh. what can you do.
Here was our family’s reasoning. We are from Canada traveling to Florida we didn’t wanna be around any snow so we chose typhoon lagoon........since then we have gone to blizzard beach but we will choose typhoon lagoon over blizzard beach just because of the theme
Perhaps its because I went to it more as a kid, but I have a stronger attachment to Blizzard Beach. It's just cooler (pardon the pun). The Blizzard Beach mountain just provides a more unique setting, and I personally prefer having more solid thrills. It's also more convenient, as most of the major slides reside on that singular mountain, and the chair lift makes it far less tiring to get to the top. I have very fond memories going down with my family on Teamboat Springs and racing some of them on the Toboggan Racers. Also, Summet Plummet is quite an experience. It isn't the only slide in the world with that operation model, and, while I couldn't say it is the best at it, it does that well.
When I was little on maybe my third trip to Disney we went to blizzard beach and I had a blast In fourth grade I went to typhoon lagoon for a moon light magic I had fun but i didn’t enjoy it as much due to the fact I had broken my wrist two weeks before. (I had a waterproof cast) and nowhere in the park said that I couldn’t ride a slide with the cast. Waited in line for a while got to the top of a body slide only for someone to say “sorry princess you can’t go down this slide. We don’t want you to hurt yourself or the slide”. Which really sucked like couldn’t you have told me before I waited in a 30 minute line.
For my 8th birthday, my family and I went to a place called Gardaland. It's an adrenalin amusement park with a lot of crazy rides. Well I really wanted to go on a ride called Blue Tornado, it's one of the main reasons we went there after all, and we waited in line for - I kid you not - 2 and a half hours, and right when it was our turn, the security guard told me to stand by a size chart and pointed the way to the exit because I was too short. It was such a disappointment, and though I understood why I couldn't go on the ride, they could have had a size chart at the entrance of the waiting lines, not at the very darn end. Edit: Ah, and yes, I did get to go on the ride after revisiting Gardaland years later. Hahah. I was determined!
@@WildVee That's like the worst move from a theme park! They should have one and the beginning and one at the end but if they can only use 1 then they should put it in the beginning.
@@jaydenchrist6152 Since this happened 13 years ago I don't really remember what happened after that anymore, it's very blurry. We were all very annoyed after that happened, but I think we enjoyed other rides. I wouldn't say it ruined our trip, but it definitely worsened it. Gardalands rides all had such long waiting lines so we only got to go on a few (around 5 rides or so in the *entire day).* After a few years I decided to revisit with my friends, when it wasn't in season so there was almost noone there. Had a blast, got to go on my childhood dream ride a few times in a row too
I loved typhoon lagoon when the orange submarine didn’t look like a eye sore by a bunch of chairs and when you could put in your goggles and get your life feet and swim with sharks
I went to Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon as a tween, and I don't have ANY memories of that BB kiddie play area. Didn't care for it apparently. But I DO vividly remember how much I loved the wave pool and the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon. Overall, Blizzard Beach was my less favorite of the two parks, though Blizzard Beach is a much better water park than most.
Aww--memories like that are the best! I love to hear that because I share those same memories of Typhoon Lagoon, and it makes the park a nostalgic treat for me every time. It's just so relaxing and chill, and it feels so massive that I rarely feel like I'm overrun by other guests there. Thank you so much for watching and for sharing--we really appreciate it, and it made me smile! :)
I went to Typhoon Lagoon once back in '07 and I'll never forget that wave pool how huge those waves were coming at me when I was a kid. Idk if it will be the same now that I'm an adult but it literally felt like i was trapped under water until the wave subsided. It was awesome
Great comparison video! I used to work at Blizzard so I’m a bit biased 😂, however just few corrections: Summit Plummet is actually 120ft and also the areas that you said are children’s areas away from the attractions are NOT a place for parents to drop off their kids. Those are the iGreeter stations for lost children and family members. You will be turned away if you try to leave your kid there. You’re not even allowed to seek cover there when it rains because it is exclusively for lost families.
I don't know how it is now (last time I went Typhoon Lagoon still had the shark reef) but Typhoon Lagoon always blew Blizzard Beach out of the park. Back when I went, I found the rides to be more fun then Blizzard Beach (except to team boat springs), less wait times then blizzard beach, and the park just to have a better atmosphere. The wave pool alone beats just about everything offered at Blizzard Beach.
Years ago when I was a kid they used to allow tubes in the typhoon lagoon wave pool. There were tons of obese people on tubes and the waves in the deep end pushed them on top of me, dancing around on top of my head for what felt like 30 seconds, leaving me gasping for air. I wonder if they had more incidents before they took the tubes out of the pool. Still an amazing wave pool to experience as a kid :-)
When i went to Disney world (2003) my family did both water parks. Typhoon lagoon was preferred. While Blizzard beach may be the superior park (According to you) Typhoon lagoon was just a lot more fun, far more enjoyable.
While I would say go to both of them if you have time, I'd say Blizzard Beach is better simply because they have more thrilling slides and a slightly better variety as well. However I do like how Typhoon Lagoon is adding new things such as Crush n Gusher and Miss Adventure Falls (they should put something where Shark Reef once stood next) while Blizzard Beach has added NOTHING!
Thank you so much for watching! I think that is very common. There is so much to do at WDW, it's hard to squeeze in time to go to one of the water parks let alone two. We hope you get to go soon and that the video helped you decide which one to check out first! :)
Personally I love both of them but I just love typhoon lagoon more but I guess every time I went to blizzard beach LIGHTNING so annoying I’ve had such bad luck when going there 😂🌩
I went to Disney World only once about 13 years ago when I was a kid and despite going to all four theme parks the one thing I’ll never forget is that wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon. I remember the waves being so big your whole body went under the wave. It was fun as hell
Ohh--we're with you there! We miss the parks so much when we're not there! We hope the video helps you re-live the magic at least a little and tide you over to your next visit. Thanks for watching and for the feedback; it makes our day to know that you enjoyed the video! :)
when my son and I visit WDW resort, my son loves going to Typhoon Lagoon and loves the water wave, as I stay on the beach..as a disabled person with walker..
I went to Disney world a few months ago and went to blizzard beach for the first time. I have also previously been to typhoon lagoon. Personally, I think Blizzard beach is better. If going to blizzard beach, RENT A POLAR PADDOCK! If you do, you get to go in a few minutes early and get in line for anything you want, the paddock comes with water and shade and a personal waiter/ assistant. But overall, the theming of blizzard beach is better, it is also way easier to navigate and is hard to get lost in.
Sorta feels like you have to visit both for both experiences and enjoy both for what they provide. Ive only been to blizzard beach when I was in 1st and 2nd grade, the only times I’ve every went to Disney or flown out of New England and I still have ,y refillable cup. It was very fun and the body slides were the best but couldn’t beat the family raft slide, we also spent most of the day in the tween areas. It was very fun, but I would like to go back to Disney and visit both. Typhoon looks a lot more low key, and tropical. A day at typhoon lagoon could probably replace a beach day and be much more superior. I would Visit Blizzard beach one day for nostalgia and the fun thrills, but also visit typhoon lagoon for relaxed Caribbean island vibe, the water coaster, it’s wave pool and other thrills. Being 15 I would say I would have to visit both to enjoy both and not pick one over the other because they would both provide me and my family with great fun vacation time.
Usually when we go to Florida we go 2 weeks, do magic and animal kingdom, Hollywood studios, epcot, blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon - if they're both open of the time since we usually go in October. Then Universal studios, islands of adventure and volcano bay Then sea world aquatics and Busch gardens. Surprisingly we get everything done usually
That sounds like a whirl wind of a trip but a ton of fun! I might need a vacation after that vacation, but it would be totally worth it. :) What is your favorite park of the bunch?
@@SeekingTheMagical hmm cant really pick just one, but if I had to choose one out of the 4 park families ( universal Disney SeaWorld and Busch gardens) I'd say universal cos I just like it more.
@@zach8569 That's cool--I understand it would be a hard choice. Universal has added so much since I last visited; I can't wait to check it out again soon! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching! :)
The one time I went to a Disney water park, I chose Blizzard Beach despite my love for Wave Pools and idea for Shark Reef (it was open at the time), mostly because I wanted to ride Summit Plummet, It did not disappoint. I rode everything there and they were all great, although Summit Plummet was the best. Typhoon Lagoon would've been another good choice but I felt like everyone going would appreciate Water Slides more.
I have done both parks several times. In my opinion, there is no competition I definitely prefer Typhoon Lagoon over Blizzard Beach, but that is just my opinion.
I have never been to Blizzard Beach. We go to Disney World nearly every summer, and Typhoon Lagoon has always been the water park we went to. WHY? Because many years ago, I was unable to go with the family, due to work (Yet I paid for everything - go figure! LOL) and they did Blizzard Beach. For whatever reason, my wife and sons prefer Typhoon Lagoon (I strongly suspect for the boys it was always about the wave pool), so as a result, I've never experienced Blizzard Beach.
Hello! so i know im late xd but Typhoon lagoon is the one i went to cuz the other is closed, its very fun and amazing! except at the wave pool the floor is concrete and my family were sitting down and the wave came (we thought it was fine) but it dragged me and my family across the concrete roughly and hurt, luckily i didnt get a bad scrape but my sis and my other family did as well :( It was cool, we learnt our lesson and stood up lol. I loved the lazy river but hated the way the filter looked 🥲. Overall was amazing!
I’m from the UK and I was lucky enough to visit both when I was 12-13 as a once in a lifetime thing, we didn’t get to go on all the blizzard beach smaller slides but we got on the big ones and it was fun (got stuck on that scary ski lift too and almost drowned in the wave pool lol) but when we went to typhoon lagoon my dad gave me this very American like 6 hour energy or something and I started having painful heart palpitations where I couldn’t breathe properly (I asked my doctor she says I’m fine I legit have no idea about that) so I didn’t get to explore anything sadly I just sat on the fake beach and drank out of those cool refillable cups all day so sadly I missed out even though TL looks so cool, side note we also went to volcano bay but we had to leave straight away as it kept closing for storm warnings and rain because it was hurricane season, sadly that was the only experience of Disney I’ll ever have because we’re never going back and it’s not a common place to visit where I come from so I don’t imagine ever having the budget to in my future, so yeah if anyone actually read this I’m so sorry I just needed that out my system haha. :)
No need to apologize--thank you so much for watching and for sharing! I'm so sorry to hear about your health scare at Typhoon Lagoon. That is super scary and really puts a damper on one's vacation! I'm glad to hear you're okay though and happy that you were at least able to experience Blizzard Beach as it's meant to be. Disney vacations are certainly magical, but it's very sad that they're cost prohibitive for so many. I wish there was a way to make it more economical so more people could experience it! Not to mention, even if one is blessed enough to go on a Disney vacation, it's so hard to only get to go once! When something is that amazing it's natural to want to go back! I don't know what your future holds, but I hope you're able to make another Disney trip happen at some point in your future and that you stay healthy that time and avoid the hurricanes.
Wish Typhoon Lagoon hadn’t closed the shark reef attraction. It would easily be the best hands down now with the addition of Misadventure Falls. Blizzard Beach has the better thrills but Typhoon was great for the water coasters, wave pool, and the shark reef was very unique.
I'm for Blizzard beach all the way. I want to be active and go on slides so excitement and thrills win over relaxation. That being said, it used to be much closer when Typhoon Lagoon had Shark Reef. It was such an incredible and unique water park attraction and I love sharks. Getting rid of that really hurt Typhoon Lagoon who still really needs a stand out unique attraction. Blizzard Beach has uniqueness easily covered.
Aww, that is so sweet--thank you! This video was a labor of love, so it's great to hear that feedback! We're also thrilled that it was helpful for you in making the decision. Please feel free to ask us questions as you plan your trip; we're always happy to help. Thank you again for making my day with your comment! :)
I went to both water parks in the mid 90s, the most fascinating thing for me was the sharks reef, it was only once I had done the sharks reef that I realised there were actually real sharks
Honestly I'm quite surprised that neither of these park offer much in between the category of the kids slides and the adult ones. Like some sort of water playground structure, or some slides in the 15-30ft height with like smaller equivalents of some big slides, like a mini summit plummit would definitely fill a gap between something like ski patrol camp and the bigger slides like runoff rapids.
Great video they all look good fun , ive never been to disney waterparks but have visited the old wet n wild on i.drive , aquatica and volcano bay.Love waterparks
So is Blizzard Beach more thrilling than Rapids Waterpark? What is the most thrilling water park with the most intense rides in Florida? Thanks to anyone who answers.
Aww--thank you so much! We're thrilled that it was helpful for you! We wanted to let viewers in on the highs and lows of each park so that you could use your time and money the best way possible on your unique trips. You're making our day to know that it helped--thank you again for watching and for your feedback!
The Wave pool is AWESOME at Typhoon Lagoon, but the Bottom of the Pool is VERY ROUGH and i have HURT my knees Many times!!! Disney world is doing this thing where ONLY ONE IS OPEN while the Other is CLOSED for Remodeling. Right now Typhoon Lagoon is Open.
For kids I’d say Blizzard Beach, for adults I’d say Typhoon Lagoon. Plus TL gives you a reason to check out Disney Springs which most people forget about going to,
Thank you so much! That is so nice of you to say, and we really appreciate it! It was a bit of a beast to put together, but it makes it all worth it when we hear feedback like that. :) Thank you again for watching!
That is too bad, but we completely understand the dilemma! There is so much to do at Walt Disney World and in Orlando in general-it is hard to fit everything in. We hope you get to check out at least one of them this year! Did the video help you decide which one? What excites you the most at either?
I love u seeking the magical after watching the 1st vid i subscribed right away this is a great channel and i agree with u the waterpark food isn't that good
Thank you so much! Blizzard Beach is a great park, and it certainly deserves the win. :) The theming at Blizzard Beach is so great, and the slides are so fun. Thanks again for watching!
@@AmtrakProductions I can totally see that! Typhoon Lagoon is my personal favorite too, and the Crush 'n' Gusher is my favorite slide in the park by far! To me, it isn't as big of a one-time thrill as Summit Plummet, but it offers more thrills overall. I think it also makes it more fun to ride with others so it has a higher repeatability not-to-mention that it has the three different slides. Which one is your favorite? Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback--we really appreciate it!
i went to these parks and volcano bay 1: typhoon lagoon 2: blizzard beach 3: volcano bay typhoon lagoon was so much fun i enjoyed the whole day blizzard beach i like it but lot of the slides are big so not everyone would go on it volcano bay i hated this i went on all rides but didn’t like the whole park they have this wrist band hat pays for food etc it didn’t work at first and took over 30 minutes of talking to staff to fix it and because it’s a really new park the cues are crazy just to get in it organised but i didn’t like it and my family agreed
@@SeekingTheMagical well it has got 3 amazing trapdoor slides (not as high as volcano bay but still good) My favourite not so lazy river of all time, it's so fast and you get ti float in life jackets instead if a rubber ring. Many fun raft slides and ring rides. There are also just normal slides which are good, theres one which goes through a tank with orcas, while you may be going too fast to see them on the slide you can see them clearly offride. Also I think, not sure, there is a few sections in the lazy river where you can see fish in tanks above you
@@zach8569 wow--that is incredible! I had no idea they offered all of that. Thank you so much for sharing! It has been so long since I (Heather) have been to Sea World or any of their parks, and my husband has never gone before. We will have to check it out again sometime soon. Thanks again for watching and for the feedback--it is good to know! :)
@Boring Nopedope Thanks for the feedback and for letting us know about your experiences! That would be my personal ranking too. :) I absolutely love Typhoon Lagoon, and I would pick it nine times out of ten. I tend to only go to Blizzard Beach when I'm with a larger group or when I really just want to go on the slides. We're sorry to hear you had a rough time at Volcano Bay; sadly, we've heard that complaint repeatedly. They really need to fix their system! Also, I apologize--I thought I replied to your comment a month ago, but I don't see my reply anywhere on here. I'm so sorry about leaving you hanging like that and thanks again for watching!
Here are the blizzard beach rides ranked i haven't ridden slush n gusher or downhill duble dipper or tobbagan racers so idk about them yet 1 summet plummet awesome except i got a back pain when i got off 2 Runnof Rapids great ride its intence smooth and fun 3 teamboat springs even though this is a kiddie ride its very fun best raft ride ever 4 snow stormers its ok not a great ride i rode it and i didn't get beat up but its boring Im 10 by the way
Thank you so much Jayden for watching and for sharing your favorites! That is great feedback on the rides, and we really appreciate it! I'm with you completely that Summit Plummet can cause back pain, but I still think it's usually worth it because it's a great thrill! :)
I remember going to river country, it was just a few years before it closed and I can honestly say that blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon are SO much better
Or a more simpler answer would be blizzard beach is better for the thrills, typhoon lagoon is better for people going through a mid-life crisis, and if you want to go to a decent water park just go up the street to volcano bay/
So basically Blizzard Beach is technically better, but most people prefer Typhoon Lagoon
Blizzard Beach is more thrilling and typhoon lagoon is more relaxing
When I was in 4th grade I went to typhoon lagoon I am now 38 and have been wanting to go back forever
Me: why am I watching this I'm not even going there
My brain: watch!
Lol
Me too
I hope to go but no plans so same

You fail to mention blizzard beach has some rough ass floor on the lazy river and wave pool causing some serious scrapes and marks on legs and feet

I had fun but i didn’t enjoy it as much due to the fact I had broken my wrist two weeks before. (I had a waterproof cast) and nowhere in the park said that I couldn’t ride a slide with the cast.

Blizzard / Lagoon - our water parks are amazing!
Volcano Bay: *hold my lava*
Volcano Bay is better than both combined😩☝️
I have been to both water parks and prefer Typhoon Lagoon by far. The Christmas music playing 24/7 year round at Blizzard Beach really kills it.
I loved typhoon lagoon when the orange submarine didn’t look like a eye sore by a bunch of chairs and when you could put in your goggles and get your life feet and swim with sharks
You want to go to Typhoon Lagoon and here's why:
1. Largest wavepool in the world
2. Not just water slides
3. A LOT less crowded than Blizzard Beach

Funky Benzoyl everything is better at Disney than most for example the restaurants in Disney are great but out side hit or miss
Slush n gusher looks -_- boring

I personally prefer typhoon lagoon for the calming lazy river and also a giant wave pool
Blizzard beach! It has so much more to do. It has everything for everyone
Ikr
I have been there both places I really want to go back their again.

Years ago when I was a kid they used to allow tubes in the typhoon lagoon wave pool. There were tons of obese people on tubes and the waves in the deep end pushed them on top of me, dancing around on top of my head for what felt like 30 seconds, leaving me gasping for air. I wonder if they had more incidents before they took the tubes out of the pool. Still an amazing wave pool to experience as a kid :-)
Okay but stan blizzard beach she’s serving 😍😍
When i went to Disney world (2003) my family did both water parks. Typhoon lagoon was preferred. While Blizzard beach may be the superior park (According to you) Typhoon lagoon was just a lot more fun, far more enjoyable.
I love typhoon lagoon. It’s really chill
It is but i perfer Blizzard beach
when i went i enjoyed typhoon lagoon more but i do love scary rides, i probably wouldve enjoyed blizzard beach more if all the big slides were open
While I would say go to both of them if you have time, I'd say Blizzard Beach is better simply because they have more thrilling slides and a slightly better variety as well. However I do like how Typhoon Lagoon is adding new things such as Crush n Gusher and Miss Adventure Falls (they should put something where Shark Reef once stood next) while Blizzard Beach has added NOTHING!
I've never been to either they both look super fun!!! Hopefully one of these days I'll get there!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for watching! I think that is very common. There is so much to do at WDW, it's hard to squeeze in time to go to one of the water parks let alone two. We hope you get to go soon and that the video helped you decide which one to check out first! :)
I like Blizzard Beach, cause it has the Mini golf in the FRONT!!! Great Activity while DRYING OFF. I LOVE the Chair lift in BB.
Personally I love both of them but I just love typhoon lagoon more but I guess every time I went to blizzard beach LIGHTNING so annoying I’ve had such bad luck when going there 😂🌩
I went to Disney World only once about 13 years ago when I was a kid and despite going to all four theme parks the one thing I’ll never forget is that wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon. I remember the waves being so big your whole body went under the wave. It was fun as hell
I went to typhoon lagoon because of the wave machine and I think I will always have a soft spot for it
I like typhoon laggon but i like Blizzard beach more
im not even watching to decide on which one to go to, i've already been to both i just miss these parks :(
Ohh--we're with you there! We miss the parks so much when we're not there! We hope the video helps you re-live the magic at least a little and tide you over to your next visit. Thanks for watching and for the feedback; it makes our day to know that you enjoyed the video! :)
@@SeekingTheMagical yes thanks for bringing back some good memories ill be back one day for sure!
@@OUTRAGE7 yay--we hope that day comes soon! :)
Im going to always go to Blizzard beach but i love to go to both
I think if u want faimly fun like rafts go to typhoon lagoon
If u want thrills like taller body slides go to blizzard beach
typhoon lagoon is the one ☝️
when my son and I visit WDW resort, my son loves going to Typhoon Lagoon and loves the water wave, as I stay on the beach..as a disabled person with walker..
Niiiice
I went to Disney world a few months ago and went to blizzard beach for the first time. I have also previously been to typhoon lagoon. Personally, I think Blizzard beach is better. If going to blizzard beach, RENT A POLAR PADDOCK! If you do, you get to go in a few minutes early and get in line for anything you want, the paddock comes with water and shade and a personal waiter/ assistant. But overall, the theming of blizzard beach is better, it is also way easier to navigate and is hard to get lost in.
Sorta feels like you have to visit both for both experiences and enjoy both for what they provide. Ive only been to blizzard beach when I was in 1st and 2nd grade, the only times I’ve every went to Disney or flown out of New England and I still have ,y refillable cup. It was very fun and the body slides were the best but couldn’t beat the family raft slide, we also spent most of the day in the tween areas. It was very fun, but I would like to go back to Disney and visit both. Typhoon looks a lot more low key, and tropical. A day at typhoon lagoon could probably replace a beach day and be much more superior. I would Visit Blizzard beach one day for nostalgia and the fun thrills, but also visit typhoon lagoon for relaxed Caribbean island vibe, the water coaster, it’s wave pool and other thrills. Being 15 I would say I would have to visit both to enjoy both and not pick one over the other because they would both provide me and my family with great fun vacation time.
Usually when we go to Florida we go 2 weeks, do magic and animal kingdom, Hollywood studios, epcot, blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon - if they're both open of the time since we usually go in October.
Then Universal studios, islands of adventure and volcano bay
Then sea world aquatics and Busch gardens.
Surprisingly we get everything done usually
That sounds like a whirl wind of a trip but a ton of fun! I might need a vacation after that vacation, but it would be totally worth it. :) What is your favorite park of the bunch?
@@SeekingTheMagical hmm cant really pick just one, but if I had to choose one out of the 4 park families ( universal Disney SeaWorld and Busch gardens) I'd say universal cos I just like it more.
@@zach8569 That's cool--I understand it would be a hard choice. Universal has added so much since I last visited; I can't wait to check it out again soon! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching! :)
Zach Fothers now that star wars land is open and Mickey and Minnie u should visit my Favorite park Disneys Hollywood Studios
This video brings back so many memories because when you were allowed I went to aquatica but I always want to go back to both of them.
Typhoon is better for me since I like body surfing the wave pool its mad fun if you learn!
The one time I went to a Disney water park, I chose Blizzard Beach despite my love for Wave Pools and idea for Shark Reef (it was open at the time), mostly because I wanted to ride Summit Plummet, It did not disappoint. I rode everything there and they were all great, although Summit Plummet was the best.
Typhoon Lagoon would've been another good choice but I felt like everyone going would appreciate Water Slides more.
Typhoon lagoon is way better in my opinion.Love the video
I have done both parks several times. In my opinion, there is no competition I definitely prefer Typhoon Lagoon over Blizzard Beach, but that is just my opinion.
the blizzard beach theming is beautiful, but I prefer the chill rides and lazy river at typhoon lagoon. i’m lowkey scared of water rides lol
I think I'd actually prefer Blizzard Beach's wave pool, simply because I find swimming with a tube way more fun.
River country was awesome in its day I always felt like a gator was going to get me when I swam next to the border wall
James Trueblood 😂 river country I have never been too but I don’t think it could compare it was only 6 acres
Ive never visited river county but i wouldn't want to go there lake water uhhhh i hope Disney gets a 3rd waterpark
RIVER COUNTRY is where I went as a Baby. The pics of me in a Bikini at 3yrs old. 😊😊😊
Fabulous review and super informative.
I have never been to Blizzard Beach. We go to Disney World nearly every summer, and Typhoon Lagoon has always been the water park we went to. WHY? Because many years ago, I was unable to go with the family, due to work (Yet I paid for everything - go figure! LOL) and they did Blizzard Beach. For whatever reason, my wife and sons prefer Typhoon Lagoon (I strongly suspect for the boys it was always about the wave pool), so as a result, I've never experienced Blizzard Beach.
We went to both 🤣. I think blizzard beach is better, mostly because I cut my heel on the bottom of the wave pool at typhoon lagoon 🤣🤣
this video just convinced me to give typhoon lagoon a try
Yeah Typhoon lagoon is a very relaxing park
Of these 2. Blizzard Beach, overall Universal Volcano Bay, Aquatica is decent too
I think Typhoon lagoon because of their amazing snorkeling
Unfortunately they closed that a couple years ago.
Hello! so i know im late xd but Typhoon lagoon is the one i went to cuz the other is closed, its very fun and amazing! except at the wave pool the floor is concrete and my family were sitting down and the wave came (we thought it was fine) but it dragged me and my family across the concrete roughly and hurt, luckily i didnt get a bad scrape but my sis and my other family did as well :( It was cool, we learnt our lesson and stood up lol. I loved the lazy river but hated the way the filter looked 🥲. Overall was amazing!
I’m from the UK and I was lucky enough to visit both when I was 12-13 as a once in a lifetime thing, we didn’t get to go on all the blizzard beach smaller slides but we got on the big ones and it was fun (got stuck on that scary ski lift too and almost drowned in the wave pool lol) but when we went to typhoon lagoon my dad gave me this very American like 6 hour energy or something and I started having painful heart palpitations where I couldn’t breathe properly (I asked my doctor she says I’m fine I legit have no idea about that) so I didn’t get to explore anything sadly I just sat on the fake beach and drank out of those cool refillable cups all day so sadly I missed out even though TL looks so cool, side note we also went to volcano bay but we had to leave straight away as it kept closing for storm warnings and rain because it was hurricane season, sadly that was the only experience of Disney I’ll ever have because we’re never going back and it’s not a common place to visit where I come from so I don’t imagine ever having the budget to in my future, so yeah if anyone actually read this I’m so sorry I just needed that out my system haha. :)
No need to apologize--thank you so much for watching and for sharing! I'm so sorry to hear about your health scare at Typhoon Lagoon. That is super scary and really puts a damper on one's vacation! I'm glad to hear you're okay though and happy that you were at least able to experience Blizzard Beach as it's meant to be. Disney vacations are certainly magical, but it's very sad that they're cost prohibitive for so many. I wish there was a way to make it more economical so more people could experience it! Not to mention, even if one is blessed enough to go on a Disney vacation, it's so hard to only get to go once! When something is that amazing it's natural to want to go back! I don't know what your future holds, but I hope you're able to make another Disney trip happen at some point in your future and that you stay healthy that time and avoid the hurricanes.
i remember going to typhoon lagoon and swimming out as far as i could in the wave pool
Wish Typhoon Lagoon hadn’t closed the shark reef attraction. It would easily be the best hands down now with the addition of Misadventure Falls. Blizzard Beach has the better thrills but Typhoon was great for the water coasters, wave pool, and the shark reef was very unique.
I'm for Blizzard beach all the way. I want to be active and go on slides so excitement and thrills win over relaxation. That being said, it used to be much closer when Typhoon Lagoon had Shark Reef. It was such an incredible and unique water park attraction and I love sharks. Getting rid of that really hurt Typhoon Lagoon who still really needs a stand out unique attraction. Blizzard Beach has uniqueness easily covered.
Totally agree. I LOVED that attraction.
Great video 👍 now I know which park I want to go to..... Blizzard beach because it is huge in my opinion you deserved my sub and like.😃😃😁😁😄😄
Aww, that is so sweet--thank you! This video was a labor of love, so it's great to hear that feedback! We're also thrilled that it was helpful for you in making the decision. Please feel free to ask us questions as you plan your trip; we're always happy to help. Thank you again for making my day with your comment! :)
Typhoon Lagoon is the best water park in Florida and has best theming!
I think blizzard beach is better
I wish they could improve the food options to be as good as volcano bay
Isabelle F volcano bay has nothing to do with disney tho
@@myasijarivera9700 it's still a water park in the area, so they are worth comparing
I went to both water parks in the mid 90s, the most fascinating thing for me was the sharks reef, it was only once I had done the sharks reef that I realised there were actually real sharks
Honestly I'm quite surprised that neither of these park offer much in between the category of the kids slides and the adult ones. Like some sort of water playground structure, or some slides in the 15-30ft height with like smaller equivalents of some big slides, like a mini summit plummit would definitely fill a gap between something like ski patrol camp and the bigger slides like runoff rapids.
Great video they all look good fun , ive never been to disney waterparks but have visited the old wet n wild on i.drive , aquatica and volcano bay.Love waterparks
So is Blizzard Beach more thrilling than Rapids Waterpark? What is the most thrilling water park with the most intense rides in Florida? Thanks to anyone who answers.
I keep annual passes for both and we alternate. Typhoon has the best wave pool...period. Blizzard has the best family raft ride.
Great review. Helps a lot since we are starting to plan for Disney. Thank you.
Aww--thank you so much! We're thrilled that it was helpful for you! We wanted to let viewers in on the highs and lows of each park so that you could use your time and money the best way possible on your unique trips. You're making our day to know that it helped--thank you again for watching and for your feedback!
I was planning on going during Christmas so it's good to prepare
Very well done. All the information we need but you keep it moving. Thanks.
This video is so thorough and informative! I went to both parks a few years ago but this really helped remember the details
The Wave pool is AWESOME at Typhoon Lagoon, but the Bottom of the Pool is VERY ROUGH and i have HURT my knees Many times!!!
Disney world is doing this thing where ONLY ONE IS OPEN while the Other is CLOSED for Remodeling. Right now Typhoon Lagoon is Open.
i had to be saved by a lifeguard at blizzard beach when i was younger lmao
For kids I’d say Blizzard Beach, for adults I’d say Typhoon Lagoon. Plus TL gives you a reason to check out Disney Springs which most people forget about going to,
Yet if you plan on going to animal kingdom for avatar ride why not on the way back go to blizzard beach. Avatar is a must. And is close to BB
Chris Land I did the same thing, after leaving AK we went to blizzard beach.
I prefer typhoon lagoon bc of the wave pool, it’s EPIC! 😁
Thanks for this video. It was suuuuuper informative.
Thank you so much! That is so nice of you to say, and we really appreciate it! It was a bit of a beast to put together, but it makes it all worth it when we hear feedback like that. :) Thank you again for watching!
We didn't get to do any water parks last year . Cant wait this year
That is too bad, but we completely understand the dilemma! There is so much to do at Walt Disney World and in Orlando in general-it is hard to fit everything in. We hope you get to check out at least one of them this year! Did the video help you decide which one? What excites you the most at either?
me too but 10 years
Typhoon Lagoon is and always will be the best
I love u seeking the magical after watching the 1st vid i subscribed right away this is a great channel and i agree with u the waterpark food isn't that good
Great review of both water parks! We love Blizzard Beach!!!
Thank you so much! Blizzard Beach is a great park, and it certainly deserves the win. :) The theming at Blizzard Beach is so great, and the slides are so fun. Thanks again for watching!
@@SeekingTheMagical I find Typhoon lagoon WAY BETTER! The crush and gusher takes the win, no slide at blizzard beach is that good!
@@AmtrakProductions I can totally see that! Typhoon Lagoon is my personal favorite too, and the Crush 'n' Gusher is my favorite slide in the park by far! To me, it isn't as big of a one-time thrill as Summit Plummet, but it offers more thrills overall. I think it also makes it more fun to ride with others so it has a higher repeatability not-to-mention that it has the three different slides. Which one is your favorite? Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback--we really appreciate it!
@@AmtrakProductions i find Blizzard beach better
Seeking The Magical I love crush and gusher, but all the slides (minus the storm slides) are amazing!
Blizzard beach is tired and would be the last water park on my list . Shame but true . Out of these two choices it can only be Typhoon Lagoon
I feel like blizzard beach is a better water park, but typhoon lagoon feels more like a Disney park.
Yeah
I'd be afraid of hurting my back on these slides. Lazy river is more my speed.
The amount of scrapes i have from the wavepool and lazy river at blizzard beach is no joking matter
Both💙💛💜🖤💚❤️
Only been to TL. My family isn’t into thrill rides, just a nice lazy day in the water.
i went to these parks and volcano bay
1: typhoon lagoon
2: blizzard beach
3: volcano bay
typhoon lagoon was so much fun i enjoyed the whole day
blizzard beach i like it but lot of the slides are big so not everyone would go on it
volcano bay i hated this i went on all rides but didn’t like the whole park they have this wrist band hat pays for food etc it didn’t work at first and took over 30 minutes of talking to staff to fix it and because it’s a really new park the cues are crazy just to get in it organised but i didn’t like it and my family agreed
Exact same ranking as me, except I did aquatica too which would be 2 or 1
@@zach8569 Ohh--we have yet to go to Aquatica! Thanks for watching and for your feedback on your ranking! What made you rank Aquatica so high?
@@SeekingTheMagical well it has got 3 amazing trapdoor slides (not as high as volcano bay but still good)
My favourite not so lazy river of all time, it's so fast and you get ti float in life jackets instead if a rubber ring.
Many fun raft slides and ring rides. There are also just normal slides which are good, theres one which goes through a tank with orcas, while you may be going too fast to see them on the slide you can see them clearly offride. Also I think, not sure, there is a few sections in the lazy river where you can see fish in tanks above you
@@zach8569 wow--that is incredible! I had no idea they offered all of that. Thank you so much for sharing! It has been so long since I (Heather) have been to Sea World or any of their parks, and my husband has never gone before. We will have to check it out again sometime soon. Thanks again for watching and for the feedback--it is good to know! :)
@Boring Nopedope Thanks for the feedback and for letting us know about your experiences! That would be my personal ranking too. :) I absolutely love Typhoon Lagoon, and I would pick it nine times out of ten. I tend to only go to Blizzard Beach when I'm with a larger group or when I really just want to go on the slides. We're sorry to hear you had a rough time at Volcano Bay; sadly, we've heard that complaint repeatedly. They really need to fix their system! Also, I apologize--I thought I replied to your comment a month ago, but I don't see my reply anywhere on here. I'm so sorry about leaving you hanging like that and thanks again for watching!
Here are the blizzard beach rides ranked i haven't ridden slush n gusher or downhill duble dipper or tobbagan racers so idk about them yet
1 summet plummet awesome except i got a back pain when i got off
2 Runnof Rapids great ride its intence smooth and fun
3 teamboat springs even though this is a kiddie ride its very fun best raft ride ever
4 snow stormers its ok not a great ride i rode it and i didn't get beat up but its boring
Im 10 by the way
Thank you so much Jayden for watching and for sharing your favorites! That is great feedback on the rides, and we really appreciate it! I'm with you completely that Summit Plummet can cause back pain, but I still think it's usually worth it because it's a great thrill! :)
Thx im only 10 i love blizzard beach
I’ll do both
This makes me miss summer so much😭
very helpful info - thanks so much!
Most people prefer tropical theme of Lagoon.
Just went in feb but I recommend tycoon lagoon
Neither of them.
River Country is the true winner.
And yes I know it is getting demolished.
there putting star wars hotel over it.
No another hotel which doesn't has a name yet.
And the Star Wars Hotel comes next to Star Wars Galaxies Edge.
They are making a Disney club hotel there
I remember going to river country, it was just a few years before it closed and I can honestly say that blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon are SO much better
Or a more simpler answer would be blizzard beach is better for the thrills, typhoon lagoon is better for people going through a mid-life crisis, and if you want to go to a decent water park just go up the street to volcano bay/
