"Amazing!!" 9 years ago by natz185

This waterpark is the best by far, a fabulous day out with the kids, very enjoyable! One of my fave parks at WDW would recommend this one out of the 2 waterparks!

"Very nice, but not as good as Blizzard Beach" 12 years ago by StarWarsGirl95

It took me 41 trips to get around to going to this park. Very sad, I know. When I eventually did get to go to this park, I was happy to do so. And it is a very nice water park. But it isn't Blizzard Beach, nor will it ever be. It has some great rides. Crush n' Gusher, the water coaster, is a fast, thrilling, unique water slide that is worth the trip. The wave pool is another great feature (even though everyone knows that the wave is coming, they still scream every time). I think I spent about 2 hours in there just swimming and jumping waves. Humunga Calibunga is a toned-down version of Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach for those of us who want something a little less intense (and less wedgie-producing). There just seems to be something lacking in the park compared to the newer Blizzard Beach. The attention to detail is missing. At Blizzard Beach, you are always looking at something that features some sort of corny joke (Snowman's land, keep out! And the snowmaking machines). Here, it's just very bland like some of the story is missing. Also, forget Shark Reef unless you get there early. The line is long, the attraction is short, and the snorkels taste like antiseptic (though you can use your own if you have them). While there are a few great attractions here, the rides overall are better at Blizzard Beach. There are more slides, the Family Raft ride is way better, and you are likely to get wetter on the lazy river (which can be fun or not-so-much, depending on your point of view). This is a very nice park. But given the choice, I'll take Blizzard Beach any day.

"Don't Seem Interested in Providing a "Magical" Experience..." 13 years ago by bmhs823

Been to the park several times before and enjoyed it despite ungodly crowds (as other members have noted: come early, leave early). However, if there is even the slightest chance of "inclement weather" don't plan on visiting the park. As usual Disney tries hard to make it near impossible to find reliable information. The park was scheduled to open for 10 A.M. Despite several phone calls to guest services, resort front-desk, information, etc... they waited till noon to tell us that the park would be closed for the day (despite the fact that the weather cleared-up around 11:30 A.M.). What's more, don't bother trying the direct line posted on most sites. Disney changes these #'s on a frequent basis.
