    Going to DisneyWorld in Oct. for 1st trip! Going to all 4parks for a full day, (AK closes@6), and are spending a day at the beach since our 7yo has never seen ocean. We r also doing Mickey's halloween party. Our drive is 14hrs. Epcot 1st day or H2o park?

    Hi there, Ruby!

    After a 14-hour drive, it's my thinking that nothing would be more welcome than a fun-filled water park! Your seven-year-old will definitely be able to get out some of the energy built up during the ride, and no one will look twice if there is some wild cheering from all of you on the slides.

    Of the two water parks on Disney property, I would recommend Typhoon Lagoon.

    Blizzard Beach
    is just full of action-packed slides, and does require quite a bit of climbing up the "mountain" to access the fun. Typhoon Lagoon, on the other hand, offers a wealth of activities and areas just right for the younger set that might not quite be ready for the higher altitudes.

    After trying out some of the body slides and family slides, your travel party can enjoy Castaway Creek, the 2,100 foot lazy river.

    And Ketchakiddee Creek is the perfect toddler/youth water spot, featuring scaled-down slides, waterfalls, water jets, and much more.

    Don't miss the world's first water coaster, the Crush'n'Gusher, either!

    Have a wonderful trip!

    See you later, celebrator,
