Park layout Crosscountry Creek - You can a break from all the
excitement, kick back in your inner tube and float along the creek.Here's
a tip: use the creek as transportation from one side of the park to
the other.
Downhill Double Dipper - Two parallel 230' long racing
slides will shoot you into a tunnel and keep you in the dark until
seconds before you come splashing out into the pool. This is a big
thrill ride with a 48" height requirement.
Slush Gusher -
Slide down the 90' tall mountain gully, racing up and down the hills,
until you reach the bottom of the mnountain. This is a big thrill
ride with a 48" height requirement.
Teamboat Springs
- At 1,200 feet, this is one of the longest family raft rides in the
world. Waterfalls and white water will make this an adventure for
the whole family. This ride is considered mild but wild. Tike's Peak
- This is an attraction for little ones over 48" tall. They will
have fun sliding down the slides, playing in the fountains, and getting
splashed by the pop jets.

Disney vacations
The least crowded
time to visit is from Labor Day to Thanksgiving and from the week
after President's Day (mid-February) to the start of Spring Break
(mid-March).
You
can definitely make the most of your vacation by staying at one of
the Disney World hotels. If
you do, you will enjoy special benefits such as Magic Hours, discounts
at six Disney
World golf courses, and the special Walt Disney World quality
and service.
But if you choose to stay at one of the many hotels
near Disney World, you can still visit all of the Disney properties
to enjoy the atmosphere, have a meal, or shop. You may be charged
for parking, but you can get validated for up to one hour of parking
for each $10 you spend while you're there.
Disney
sells Blizzard Beach tickets on their website, but you can not print
the tickets, meaning you must order early and have the tickets mailed
to you. You can also buy tickets through
your local auto club, Disney Store or through a school or work activities
office. Many offsite hotels also sell Disney passports at the front
desk.
I suggest researching
Disney ticket prices in advance,
and buy your pass before you get to the park. No sense wasting the
first hour waiting in line at the ticket booth.
