Welcome back, Denise!
If you are ready to brave the 12-story drop of Mount Gushmore on
Summit Plummet before you slide like a penguin down
Toboggan Racers, then
Blizzard Beach is certainly the place for you.
Obviously, after all of your adventuring, you will need a spot to rest and enjoy your treats from
Lottawatta Lodge, and there is no place better than renting a dedicated Lodge Umbrella! When you rent a lodge umbrella, not only will you have reserved chairs and an umbrella for the day, but you will also have a table, loungers, and towels provided for your use as well.
Denise, as you know, the capacity for each Lodge Umbrella rental is limited to four people. If you have two parties, they will try and place your umbrellas next to each other; however, it can not always be guaranteed. What I would recommend that you do is to call (407) 939-7529 and make both reservations at the same time. Kindly ask the Cast Member on the other end of the phone to make a note in your reservation that you are requesting adjacent umbrellas. Once you arrive at Blizzard Beach to check in, remind the attendant that you are two parties checking in together, and they should be able to check that your Lodge Umbrellas are next to each other.
I have spoken to a few friends who rented multiple umbrellas during their stay, and they were all able to get Lodge Umbrellas close to each other. Since rentals do sell out, I would recommend calling to place your reservation as soon as you are able.
Currently, the price for a Lodge Umbrella rental is $75 per day, a price that is much less likely to freeze people out than a Polar Patio. Please note that prices are always subject to change.
Stay warm in that blizzard! And come back here to planDisney if we can help answer any other questions for you.
