Disney visitors have long been able to take a break from the regular hustle and bustle of other theme parks at Blizzard Beach. The water park features a one-acre wave pool and a white sand beach.
Mount Gushmore features one of the world's tallest and fastest waterslides. There are several activities offered throughout the summer at Blizzard Beach that are based off Disney's "The Incredibles 2."
Disney's other water park, Typhoon Lagoon, also offers the opportunity to glide down a lazy river or take on several exhilarating water slides. If relaxation is your thing, layout and catch a tan on their sandy beach.
If you are on a quest for adventure, load the entire family on a raft and get swept away in a true white-water voyage with Miss Adventure Falls. One thing that makes Typhoon Lagoon particularly exciting during the summer is that it is the seasonal residence of Disney characters, Lilo and Stich.
