Is there anything else I should know?

NOTE: As of June 1, 2009, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are offering premium spaces for rental. Premium spaces can accommodate up to six and cost $250 plus tax for the full day. There are four premium spaces in each water park, and they include the personalized services of an attendant, private lockers, all-day drink mugs, cooler with bottled water, lounge furniture, tables, and rental towels. The attendant will also offer advice and help with food and drink orders. At Blizzard Beach, the four spaces are known as the "Polar Patios." Ask about them at the Shade Shack. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance reservations are available by calling 407-WDW-PLAY.

In addition, Blizzard Beach is testing a "human full-body dryer." For $5, a group of four people can step into the dryer, which will blow air to dry them off for three three minutes.

Smoking is only allowed in designated smoking areas. See the BB Guide Map for locations.

BB's own Ice Gator makes occasional appearances in the village area. He greets visitors and poses for pictures. Check with Guest Relations for scheduled appearances.

BB is usually "snowed-in" for rehab each year for two months between November and February.

Make sure to wear water shoes or sandals at BB, even though they have water spraying intermittently on most of the walkways to help prevent your feet from getting burnt.

BB posts water temperatures in the area between the main bridge and the Avalunch area. They give separate temperatures for the creek, ski patrol area and Melt Away Bay. In the same area, they also post a wait time chart for the Ski Patrol area, Summit Plummet, Downhill Double Dippers, Slush Gushers, Teamboat Springs and Snow Stormers.

Volleyball nets and secluded picnic areas are also available.

Disney water parks tend to be crowded, especially in the summer, and there are limited areas with shade. Arrive at BB either when they open, or try going just for the afternoon. A lot of the crowds thin out during the hottest part of the day and by mid-afternoon you can avoid long waits for the attractions.

Bring a disposable waterproof camera. You can buy one for about $15 at Beach Haus (the BB souvenir shop), or you can buy one at an off-property discount store for about $10. I found myself worrying about my camera, since it's not waterproof. I missed a lot of great shots because I didn't dare bring an expensive camera to places where it might get wet.

BB may close due to weather or maximum park capacity. If you are in the park and it closes due to weather remember to get your hand stamped so that if the weather clears up you can re-enter the park.

Additional information is available directly from Blizzard Beach at (407) 560-3400.

Lost articles can be picked up at Guest Relations (at the entrance to BB). Be warned that some articles may be irretrievable. Glasses and jewelry should be removed before going on the water attractions. BB is not responsible for lost articles. You can phone Lost & Found directly during normal business hours at (407) 560-5408.
